Beer removed after MP complaint

Beer removed after MP complaint
A controversial beer has been withdrawn from sale in a Commons bar following complaints from Labour MP Kate Green.

Addressing the House of Commons earlier today, Ms Green said: "Could the Leader of the House arrange a debate on dignity at work in Parliament. I was disturbed last night to learn that the guest beer in the Stranger's Bar is called Top Totty and there is a picture of a nearly naked woman on the tap.

"As well as arranging a debate would the leader of the House join with me in asking that this beer be withdrawn immediately from sale in the bar."

A Commons spokesman later confirmed that the beer has now been withdrawn from sale.

Top Totty is brewed by Slater’s Ale in Stafford and was nominated by the town's MP, Conservative Jeremy Lefroy, who issued a statement: "I invited Slater’s to put forward a guest ale to the bar following a visit to the brewery site in Stafford as I am keen to support local businesses and British beer.... However, I can understand that some people may take offence to the marketing, which I am sorry about."
