Strangers' Bar to re-open in Parliament after drink-spiking allegation

Parliament's Strangers Bar will reopen on February 24 after being closed due to a drink-spiking allegation. This closure followed a report from a female researcher about her drink being tampered with.
The bar will implement new safety measures, including installing CCTV and providing extra training for staff, according to the House of Commons spokesperson.
The Metropolitan Police are investigating the alleged spiking incident, which reportedly occurred on January 7, and no arrests have been made so far, according to a police spokesperson.
Labour MP Charlotte Nichols emphasized the need for a cultural shift in Parliament, stating that current measures are just 'tinkering around the edges' of the issue.
