"British MPs snort cocaine in Parliament": the scandal in Westminster
After an investigation by the Sunday Times, the intervention of drug dogs is evaluated. Find traces in numerous places. The speaker of the House promises a hard line
Drug dogs could enter the temple of British politics. We are talking about the Palace of Westminster, the seat of Parliament. The Sunday Times reported that traces of cocaine were found in more than ten places accessible only to people with a deputy pass.
And now he would be considering getting the police dog units to intervene to seek confirmation of a phenomenon - that of drug abuse in parliament - which from what is learned is now spreading.
To the point that the speaker of the House, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, has promised an investigation and next week a Commission will deal with the case.
The same speaker, who also harshly stigmatized what was leaked in the tabloids, said he considers the issue as "a priority" and intends to ensure "full and effective application of the law" with also severe penalties for those who dare to break the rules.
