British MPs criticised after only 30 turn up for terrorist drill - Yahoo! News: "LONDON (AFP) - British lawmakers faced criticism from their own number after only 30 -- less than five percent of the total -- turned up for an anti-terrorism drill in parliament.

The exercise took place Tuesday morning, when the chamber and galleries of the House of Commons were cleared after a planned 'interruption' from one of the galleries.

However, of 646 MPs, only 30 decided to attend, with Leader of the House of Commons Geoff Hoon saying 'obviously' he would have liked more people to be at the pre-arranged exercise."
