Rejected petition: Ban alcohol at Westminster and at all other government workplaces
Rejected on
Ban all alcohol consumption at Westminster and other government premises. No exceptions.
Recent behaviour of MPs at PMQs shows why a total ban of alcohol is needed at Westminster. Alcohol is a dangerous drug that continues to cause major social harm, domestic violence and strain on the NHS. Dispensing such a drug at any workplace is irresponsible and unacceptable.
