It riles ME no end, too!!
Yes ... you received a sympathetic response from Theresa May. But does she intend pulling out all the stops to ensure there's no chance of crass, irresponsible indulgence - of the kind displayed by Nadine Dorries - being repeated? I very much doubt it! Any more than she's likely to back-down on the controversial new Immigration Rules she herself pushed through last July.
Nevertheless, the action you took in highlighting such breach of privilege by an elected Member of Parliament is to be commended.
