Bad MPs 'disrupt Commons tours'
25th October 2011
Simon Blackburn, head of visit services for the Houses of Parliament, declined to name any names.
But some MPs should know who he was referring to when he complained that Members taking round large groups of people interfere with paid tour conducted by his guides.
"Large groups get in the way," he told the admin committee yesterday.
"They make it hard for people who have paid."
Blackburn said 'unbooked' groups of up to six are easy for the visitor guides to deal with, but when MPs or their staff are bringing big gangs on the line of route, it can get disruptive.
One MP was heard to grumble the name "Rosindell" at that point. Not sure what that could be a reference to.
Have your say...
