Lording it up

THE House of Lords is refusing to turn the thermostat below 22c because ‘it’s an environment where most people are sitting’.

As a pensioner, I, too, sit a lot, but I have my thermostat set at 14c and the heating is switched on only six hours a day.

I suggest the Lords and all Government departments turn down the heating and buy some jumpers.

IF THE temperature in the House of Lords is reduced, isn’t there a danger some of the peers may wake up?
