Porn site requests from inside UK’s parliament hit 250,000
Comments
Computers inside Britain’s House of Parliament were used to make 250,000 requests to access pornography sites last year. The figures work out to 700 attempts a day.
The figures, released by the Palace of Westminster’s IT department, were revealed after a Freedom of Information request.
It also emerged that sexymp.co.uk, a site where you can you rate the looks of members of parliament, was the most popular banned site at Britain’s Parliament.”
The figures are down from 800 requests a day when a similar FOI request was made two years ago. But many could be down to unwanted internet pop-ups.
The news will be unwelcome following the allegations facing the deputy speaker of the House of Lords, Lord Sewel, who appeared to be filmed snorting cocaine at a party with prostitutes.
