Weekly Round Up of Parliamentary Nonsense II

The second week of Parliamentary nonsense has managed to uncover more incoherent questioning slotted in between the important issues of the day.

Enjoy these.... your tax money funds them...

Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what discussions he has had with the rail companies to seek agreed policies on the transportation of bikes on trains.

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make representations to the EU to enable him to introduce a zero rate of VAT on sun lotion.

Continuing his crusade - Gregory Barker: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment she has made of the quantity of illegal littering of public areas by chewing gum.

Mr. Gregory Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what percentage of new television sets being sold are estimated to be high definition ready.

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the price of a (a) first class and(b) second class stamp has been in each year since 1976.

Dr. Alasdair McDonnell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many people in Wales speak Welsh, according to the latest census data.


The corridors of power must be humming....
