Parliament should set the example that other places of employment should aspire to.

[douglas9401]

No, and ironically I work for Thomas Cook.

[Prudie]

I couldn't possibly do my job if I had a baby with me. Most people's jobs don't consist of sitting on a bench and just listening or talking.

[THECORBYLOON]

The Speaker and his Deputies have the authority still to allow Members to have wee ones with them in the Chamber.

[naomi24]

No, they shouldn't take children with them. If they can't make arrangements for their children to be cared for when they're at work, they should resign and do something else.

[youngmafbog]

100% as Naomi says

[davebro]

can't their hubbys look after them?

[davebro]

just a thought - what if Boris turned up at PMQs with a wee one on either arm?

[youngmafbog]

Not enough room in the chamber for all his kids.

[youngmafbog]

I think this is also a problem for those working from home, especially those without a proper office to do it from.

I've had kids screaming, dogs barking and one lady appeared on Teams with her baby in her arms to do a presentation. A complete and utter joke.

My wife had two of our grandchildren round once, in an emergency, and it was a nightmare. And we have a large 6 bed house with two dedicated offices.

[Ken4155]

There's enough childish behaviour in the 'house' without any children present.

[fender62]

erm how much do mp's make, she must be skint if she cannot afford a child minder for the time she is in the chamber, or did she bring her sprog to make a statement...pun

Tin lids can add a lot to your life, if you listen.
