A spokesman for the House of Commons said: "The striking of Big Ben on these occasions was coordinated around the planned works so as to minimise the impact on the project costs and to ensure it did not result in any delay.
"If the project team are required to strike the bell with less notice, the costs would substantially increase due to the unexpected impact on the project schedule.
"The cost of striking the bell for New Year’s Eve and Remembrance Sunday has been factored in to the planned programme well in advance, to ensure that testing and striking have no impact on planned works, therefore causing no delay and minimum cost.
“The estimated cost is £120,000 to sound the bell, plus circa £100,000 for each week of delays.
"This estimate is based on the fixed cost of installing, testing, operating and dismantling the temporary mechanism used to sound the bell during the works, plus an allowance for each week that work on the project is delayed.
"As such, the minimum cost of sounding Big Ben would be £320,000 but could be up to £500,000.”
