Staffers today received a message from the Palace Authorities:

“This afternoons evacuation was caused by 2 smoke detectors in the lower ground floor kitchen being activated by a build up of smoke. The alarm system in Portcullis House was working correctly and the evacuation alarm sounded. Thank you for your co-operation.”

Staffers breathed a sigh of relief after the lightning-quick reaction of the Palace Authorities to this dangerous “smoke build-up”. However, Recess Monkey is concerned that staffers have not been told which dish was responsible for the security scare. He has no hard evidence that the Goan Chickpea Soup with l’epi de France bread was to blame - but let’s just say, next time it’s on the menu, Recess Monkey’s going to be in the constituency office just in case.
