House of Commons bars will be banned from promoting alcohol from Saturday to reflect stricter restrictions across the UK to fight Covid.
President Lindsay Hoyle said it would no longer be imaginable to buy an alcoholic beverage on the River Támesis estate after the government closed pubs around the city of Liverpool in northern England as a component of a multi-level technique to stem the outbreak of the new coronavirus.
“As MPs constitute other electoral districts elsewhere, with the highest point ordering the closure of pubs, I have made a decision to avoid the promotion of alcohol in the House of Commons, as of this Saturday,” Hoyle said in a statement.
Most lawmakers returned to Parliament after the first closure, but social estating regulations restrict the number of other people who can enter the chamber at any time. Many have criticized the government for applying other regulations to verify that they involve a momentary wave of infections. .
