I've never made something that tall and skinny - but when I made a lighthouse I used food-grade wood doweling rods that were drilled into the base to keep them firmly placed.  I have also used balsa wood that I covered with alfoil (for food protection) when I needed something wider than a doweling rod.  Balsa wood is light and firm so will give structural support without adding significant weight to your finished product.

I think the rice crispy treats would work a treat () for structural integrity - BUT it will make your finished product quite heavy!

Let us know how you get along - would love the see pics of it when it's done.

BTW, is she doing the Houses of Parliment between, or just the two towers? If the houses, that will give the structure a good bit of support as well at the lower part of the towers.
