A British lawmaker has asked for an investigation into the rules around bringing babies into the House of Commons, after a member of Parliament was told she could no longer bring her child into the chamber.
Stella Creasy, an MP for the opposition Labour Party, said she was told by a representative of Parliament's lower house that it was against the rules to bring a child to a debate at Westminster Hall after she attended with her son on Tuesday.
Creasy shared an email sent to her by the private secretary to the chairman of ways and means, which references rules published in September: "You should not take your seat in the Chamber when accompanied by your child," and added that this also applied to Westminster Hall, the oldest building on the Parliamentary estate, used for state occasions and important ceremonies.
