Following a massive fire at Parliament, the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure brought in a team of structural, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineers to conduct a preliminary visual assessment of the damages, including the safety aspect. Public Works Minister Patricia de Lille said Parliament and the police provided access to the engineers this week to inspect the Old and New Assembly buildings.
