Business question from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Hypocrisy—the "do as I say, not as I do" approach—annoys the electorate. Covered bicycle racks in the courtyard outside the Members' Cloakroom have been removed and replaced with parking for Ministers' cars. All winter, Ministers' lovely hybrid cars have frequently been parked in the courtyard outside your house, Mr. Speaker, with their petrol engines running, presumably to keep the chauffeurs warm. May I make my annual plea to the Leader of the House for the provision of a warm room in which chauffeurs can wait, to avoid these unnecessary CO2 emissions?
