Part of the Chamber's tunnel ceiling collapsed this Wednesday

A part of the plaster on the ceiling of the so-called “time tunnel” of the Chamber of Deputies collapsed during the early hours of this Wednesday (14). The tunnel forms a corridor that connects Annex II of the Chamber, where the permanent committees are located, to the Green Room, which is the space that gives access to the plenary.

There were no injuries and the passage for employees or visitors through the corridor was closed. Chamber engineering teams are on site to repair the damage.

No damage was detected to the structure of the building, according to the press office of the Chamber of Deputies.

"Circulation between the Main Building and Annex II must be done through the external area. To facilitate access, the flow of people in the Hat Shop will be open to all members of the public this Wednesday", informed the Chamber.
