Mr Arthur Ponsonby
, Sheffield, Brightside
asked the hon. Member for Cheltenham, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, whether, in view of the fact that an hon. Member who entertains a female guest at dinner has to pay more than twice as much as when he entertains a male guest, he will so adjust the prices of meals as to secure prandial equality for the sexes in the dining rooms of this House?
The House of Commons is one of the houses of parliament. Here, elected MPs (elected by the "commons", i.e. the people) debate. In modern times, nearly all power resides in this house. In the commons are 650 MPs, as well as a speaker and three deputy speakers.
