Revealed: Lords complain of ‘poor wine’ and ‘too much salmon’ in Parliament

Members of the House of Lords have complained about the quality of food and wine served in Parliament, despite £25m of taxpayer subsidies.

One peer grumbled: “There are only so many smoked salmon or prawn and crayfish salads one can take week after week.

“Both the Chardonnay and the Sauvignon Blanc are really poor quality... Can something be done?”
