The UK House of Commons will review a parliamentary rule forbidding lawmakers to bring babies into the chamber, after a female MP complained she had been told not to take her 3-month-old son with her during debates.

After Labour MP Stella Creasy brought her son Pip into a Westminster Hall debate on Tuesday, she received an email from the private secretary to the chairman of Ways and Means reminding her of the Rules of behaviour and courtesies in the House of Commons, which were updated in early September.
