LONDON, ENGLAND, July 28, 2002: Britain’s House of Commons will soon have an authentic, in-house Indian restaurant to the delight of curry fans including: Chancellor Gordon Brown, Leader of the House Robin Cook and Secretary of State for International Development Clare Short. Conservative Members of Parliament have cheekily suggested a name for the restaurant: “Hinduja’s, after the controversial Indian-born industrialists who are said to have incurred favors from Tony Blair’s Labor-led government,” the Sunday Telegraph reported. Until now, Members of Parliament had to leave the House of Commons for Indian restaurants around Westminster, with the worry that they could miss a vital vote. David Hinchliffe, the Labor chairman of the Commons health select committee and a fan of hot Madras curries, told the Telegraph: “It’s a fantastic idea provided it is authentic curry. I don’t want a tame English version.”
