Isn't it the fact that the clapper has been removed? The clapper weighs 4 cwt and to bring it back , hoist it up the 200 ft to the great bell and remove it again is where the prohibitive cost is. H + S is the real cost.

A bloke with a hammer ? Or is that too easyJust going on this report from the BBC:-
The commission says the floor in the belfry has been removed and there would be a significant cost to put in and then remove a temporary floor.
As well as the floor, the £120,000 figure also includes the cost of installing and dismantling the temporary mechanism (an electric hammer) to sound the bell.
Delaying the restoration work already taking place to enable the bongs would also add £100,000 a week to the bill.
@Hindsight The Rank organisation was a British Instituition!! Maybe it would upset wee Kranky!!

According to Mark Francoise, it cost £14k each time, to facilitate the bongs for both Remembrance Sunday and new year.
Questions are going to be asked in the house.
I predict a big scandal in the making.
Sounds like a remainer conspiracy, knowing that removing the floor would Block Borris’s Brexit Bong. ???Just going on this report from the BBC:-
