The cost of food and drinks for MPs in the Commons have gone up for the first time in three years, it has been revealed.
The bars and restaurants at the House of Commons have increased their prices by 3.4% last month, according to a Freedom of Information request by the Mirror. This is the first time the prices of food and beverages at Parliament have increased since 2019.
Even with the hike in prices, the cost of these items still remain very low. The price of a coffee is just 69p, a lager is £3.56 and a bacon butty costs a mere £1.70, while a delicious smoked salmon costs £2.96.
