...because of decay. Asbestos, mouse, rats, bad heating, roof pierced. And same Big Ben leans 46 centimeter vertically. The addition could be salted for the British taxpayer at least three billion pounds or 4.2 billion euros. And 10 years of work

Decide if there is a problem.
Have a discussion.
Appoint a committee
Appoint a committee to appoint the committee.
Establish fair remuneration starting with the chair of the appointments committee. Say £100,000 plus expenses. Plus offices. Plus staff. Then a deputy chair. £95,000, plus expenses, plus office, plus staff. The chair will need an official car at this point. Then an Assistant chair. £85,000, plus expenses. Plus office. Plus staff. Sadly, the only suitable nominee is already on another committee where he is paid £150,000 and wants an improvement. So, £180,000 for the Assistant chair, £190,000 for the deputy chair, £200,000 for the chair.
And so on and so on.
10 years down the line, hire the cheapest builder imaginable who will botch the job.
5 years later, the whole process needs to begin again.
That's the British way.

Not a chance. You don't abandon one of your biggest tourist attractions. This is an attempt to make a repairs and restoration story look more 'sexy'.
