Parliament binned 318,000kg of food last year – the weight equivalent of a Boeing 737.
On average, 870kg of taxpayer subsidised nosh for MPs, peers and other employees was chucked away every day, more than doubling the amount that was ditched in 2021.
The total food bill at the Houses of Commons and Lords was £10.9million last year – £7.5million of which was covered by subsidy.
