Response

  1. Who commissioned the Lego model?
    This information is held by the House of Commons. The Lego model was commissioned by the UK Parliament Education and Engagement Team, as part of UK Parliament Week, the annual festival which saw over half a million people take part in more than 8000 events across the UK.
  2. Who paid for it?
    This information is held by the House of Commons. The project was paid for out of the existing budget for UK Parliament Week. 
  3. How much did it cost?
    This information is held by the House of Commons. The total cost of producing the Lego model was £18,545.
  4. Who made it?
    This information is held by the House of Commons. The Lego model was created by the Bright Bricks company.
  5. What other costs are there linked to it? Photography?

It may also interest you to know that the model is expected to have a lifelong legacy, as it will be loaned out to schools and organisations across the UK leading up to universal suffrage in the UK in 2028.
