Allow women to breastfeed anywhere in the House of Commons

What the petition asks
In the chamber of the House of Commons, women cannot breastfeed. The law allows women to breastfeed anywhere, so the House of Commons should be no exception - it's a bad example when the UK has low breastfeeding rates. It discriminates against MPs who breastfeed and against their constituents.
