Cool MPs demand creamy treats

Politicians are calling on House of Commons authorities to put an award-winning Welsh ice cream on the menu in the seat of democracy.

Labour Rhondda MP Chris Bryant has tabled the motion to get Mr Creemy snacks served in Commons dining rooms in a bid to help MPs chill out.

A self-confessed ice cream fan congratulated the Rhondda company on winning a series of awards at the National Ice Cream Championships.
