This is Westminster, not Disneyland, an outraged Barry Sheerman MP once complained over plans to pimp out Parliament to let private firms hire Westminster rooms for corporate booze and schmoozefests. Traditionally, big shots from the banking, arms and energy sectors hooked up with a tame politician to sponsor an event. But then privatising the Members Dining Room became the new wheeze. For a miserly £4,500, lobbyists and multinationals could book reception rooms with the Commons banqueting services. The move was initially defended as a means to help offset the £1 billion cost of restoring the Palace of Westminster. But I can reveal that senior cross-party MPs have tired of this Commons for Hire culture and a review is under way. Tory MP Sir Charles Walker, chair of the Commons administration committee, promises tough new controls when Parliament fully reopens. The Commons must not be confused with a Las Vegas wedding factory, he told me.
