star this property answer text <p><del class="ministerial">The House of Commons Commission has agreed a number of actions to promote responsible alcohol consumption on the Parliamentary Estate.</del> <ins class="ministerial">On 19 March 2018, the House of Commons Commission endorsed the recommendations of the Administration Committee to help to promote responsible drinking in Commons catering venues. The Commission also agreed to return to this matter on a six-monthly basis. The Commission did so on 29 October 2018, also giving due weight to the reference to access to alcohol within the Dame Laura Cox report on bullying and harassment. On 17 December 2018 the Commission agreed a number of actions to promote responsible alcohol consumption on the Parliamentary Estate.</ins> These include<ins class="ministerial">d</ins> increasing the range of non-alcoholic drinks and lower strength beers available, training and supporting staff to refuse to serve customers when necessary, expanding and encouraging alcohol-free areas including all six House of Commons cafeterias (Bellamy's, Courtyard Café, Debate, Jubilee Café, Members' Tea Room, Terrace Cafeteria), discouraging Members and staff from drinking in offices after bars are shut, and not running promotional advertisements.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Parliament already has a single wireless network. However, this can appear to be a number of different ones when viewing the WiFi available on estate. This is due to it being segmented into a number of logical virtual networks. This is designed to enable effective cyber security management depending on the end user connecting. For example, guests on the Parliamentary Estate and users of non-Parliamentary devices computers are asked to manually enter an ID and password. However, Members and users of Parliamentary-issued devices automatically connect to the network. PDS plan to rationalise the number of WiFi networks visible on the Parliamentary estate over the course of 2018, the intent being to reduce the number visible to the minimum viable to meet cyber security requirements.</p> more like this

Also, all Parliamentary pass holders have access to the Westminster Holiday Playscheme catering for children between 4 years 9 months and 12 years old.</p><p>The House of Commons recently launched the Work+Family Space website for Members, Members’ staff and staff of the House of Commons.

The website also offers a range of other services providing information and advice on a range of subjects.</p><p>In addition, Parliament is aiming to take part in the Inter-Parliamentary Union Gender Sensitive Parliament audit. As part of this process there will be a focus on how Parliament supports work-life balance and family obligations.</p><p>The Members’ pension scheme has comprehensive cover for partners, spouses and dependants in the event of a Member’s death, and the benevolent fund can support their families financially if necessary as well, after they have left the House or died.</p>
