Labour MP Kate Green has made a bit of a stir in an otherwise quiet day in the Commons by calling for a beer called 'Top Totty', currently on sale in Stranger's Bar in Parliament, to be removed immediately.
In a question to Leader of the House Sir George Young, she asked:
"Could the Leader of the House arrange a debate on dignity at work in Parliament. I was disturbed last night to learn that the guest beer in the Stranger's Bar is called Top Totty and there is a picture of a nearly naked woman on the tap."
She also called for the beer's immediate withdrawal from sale on the parliamentary estate.
With so much business held up in the Lords at the moment, the Commons does have time to fill, so don't be too surprised if a backbench business motion on 'dignity at work in Parliament', inspired by a beer.

Pity she didn't go the whole hog and call for the immediate withdrawal of tax-payer subsidised bars from the Parliamentary estate.
