I have noted that some MSPs are over-weight; indeed, some might be described as obese. (No names, no packdrill, but they know who they are.) Given this threat to the health of our parliamentary representatives, I would like to propose that - on days when parliament is sitting - all of our MSPs should be locked into parliament over lunchtime so that they are forced to eat healthily in the canteen. No more sneaking out to pubs for pies.
This is after all what the Health Minister, Ms Robison, wants to do to our children. Scotland on Sunday has the story. If we can imprison our children over lunchtime, why not our MSPs?
Oh, and the parliamentary canteen should serve chips only once a week.

Excellent idea - for MSPs and schoolkids :) If you worked near a supermarket or chip shop close to a school, you'd also think so!
The Parliament canteen's salad bar should also have fixed prices to encourage uptake of healthy food - and the chips are rank anyway ;)
