Re: No babies allowed in the commons

It's not free, and it can't be put on MP's Expenses

2. The fees charged to MPs for using the nursery
Fees which apply to all users of the nursery are:

Under 2’s Under 2's Over 2’s Over 2's Evenings (all ages) Evenings (all ages)
Days per week Weekly Fees Days per week Weekly Fees Monday 6-10.30pm £49.50
2 Days £135.00 2 Days £120.00 Tuesday 6-10.30pm £49.50
3 Days £202.50 3 Days £180.00 Wednesday 6-7.30pm £16.50
4 Days £270.00 4 Days £240.00 Thursday 6-6.30pm £5.50
5 Days £295.00 5 Days £270.00 Friday n/a

The children have to be 3 months old to attend, so I think the MP's child under discussion is just under that age.

Fair enough, but any MP can afford those prices without blinking, esp for only part of a week.

Apparenly not.

An MP has said it "has to be possible for politics and parenting to mix" after being told she cannot sit in the Commons with her three-month-old son.

They still make breast pumps so her baby can still enjoy the best food and she doesn't have to be present at munching time......

Wouldn't have got nearly half as many if she'd buggered off to work instead of staying home to bring up the family ;)

Wasn't she lucky that she didn't need to.

Thats exactly why nurseries exist, and most people have to pay to use them.
The commons has one (thats free ?) so what makes her so special she cant use whats provided.

Exactly.
It's not like the employer isnt putting any plans in place, there are facilities on site.

Re: No babies allowed in the commons

If enough women take enough babies into parliament both the collective IQ and maturity level will increase but do we really want to expose innocent babies to MP's what have they done to deserve that.

Breast milk from the natural container is by far better. The container is easier to keep clean and sterile and breast milk changes through the feed, it not a single homogenous fluid.
