Cameron loses room to Muslims
By Nigel Nelson

David Cameron has been forced to give up a Parliament room so Muslims can pray in it.

Commons officials took Conference Room H off the Tory leader, who used it for secret MP briefings.

The move angered secretaries in the next-door office. One said: "We work on a lot of confidential material and we don't know who will be going in there."

The room will be used by Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan.

Muslim Labour MP Sadiq Kahn said it was an "excellent" idea, and joked: "David is welcome to pray there - he needs all the help he can get."

In Scotland NHS chiefs caused outrage when they asked staff at Lothian and Greater Glasgow hospital trusts not to eat at their desks during Ramadan.


They feared upsetting Muslims, who should not have food in the day.
