Infrastructure minister expands on delays to refurb work

The refurbishment scheme was due to be wrapped up by the end of March 2021.

As far as being on budget, Mr Baker says the work is 'within' the cost accounted for when the project was granted a further £750,000 in the Treasury Minister's budget update in June.
