💨 Abstract

Britain's parliament is closing a popular bar, Strangers' Bar, due to an ongoing investigation into an alleged drink spiking incident. The incident occurred on the parliamentary estate in early January and is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police. The bar, open to lawmakers, their guests, and some grades of parliamentary staff, is a popular socializing spot for politicians. Drink spiking is a specific crime in Britain and police receive thousands of reports of such incidents annually.
