MPs have previously warned that the Houses of Parliament is at risk of a major fire as devastating as the one that hit Notre Dame in Paris. While the Palace of Westminster is undergoing some repairs, a major "restoration and renewal" programme isn't expected to start until the mid-2020s, APA reports citing Sputnik.

At the moment there is no official information about the incident.
