Perhaps the wording from the article would be better, rather than "within Parliament", since that sounds a bit like alcohol was consumed within the chambers. Gulbenk (talk) 02:11, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Upon further reading, the referenced text reads "within Parliament", so that is good hook.Gulbenk (talk) 04:49, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article is new enough, long enough, and adequately sourced. No close paraphrasing was found.Gulbenk (talk) 05:11, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
