Require random drug & alcohol testing of MPs, Peers, Speaker & Special Advisors.
Law makers and senior advisors should be law makers and not law breakers. They need to be sober to carry out their important parliamentary business.The public needs to be reassured that they are.
Other professions - police, army, railway staff etc - whose jobs can have a huge impact on people's lives, have to submit to random drug and alcohol testing. Our politicians, whose decisions and lawmaking likewise have a massive impact on people's lives, should be held to the same standards.
