No babies in Parliament: U.K. politicians push for change after infant banned

WNews Banner

A U.K. MP has been told she can’t bring her three-month-old baby into the House of Commons, prompting others to demand a change in parliamentary rules.

Labour Party legislator Stella Creasy said she had received a letter from Commons authorities after she took her son Pip to a debate.

She said she had previously taken both Pip and her older daughter to Parliament without problems, but had been told the rules had changed in September. Members of Parliament are now advised that they “should not take your seat in the chamber when accompanied by your child.”
