Flight are coming in from China and Italy, we are penalised.” Yesterday Sir Lindsay Hoyle banned the sale of alcohol on the House of Commons premises as coronavirus continued to spread throughout Britain. 

The  Speaker of the House of Commons said: “Some members and key Parliamentary staff are still required to work on the estate to enable the House to continue to fulfill its important constitutional function.

“As a workplace, it is important that they continue to have access to adequate canteen facilities.

“A number of venues have been closed but in those that remain open, we are employing a range of measures to encourage social distancing. 

“While encouraging diners to use takeaway options where possible.”

Sir Lindsay Hoyle continued: “The following outlets remain open, tearoom, terrace cafeteria, debate dispatch box, the members smoking room remains open but there is no service.

“I can confirm from today that the sale of alcohol in the House of Commons catering venues has been suspended until further notice.

“I actually took that decision on Friday evening.

“All these measures will be kept under constant review.”
