Petition · past parliament

Close all the bars at the Houses of Parliament.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There is absolutely no need for bars in a workplace & definitely not when they are subsidised by taxpayers.
Alcohol & drugs contribute to sexual abuse. It’s time to put a stop to this. When these bars are subsidised by taxpayers it is unacceptable. MPs are there to work for us, not to drink on our expense.
