Mandate alcohol breathalyser and drug swab tests in House of Commons

MPs should be banned from taking part in proceedings if they are found to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol whilst at work. Mandatory drug and alcohol testing is common in many professions. This is important for MPs as they are making decisions that shape the future of the nation.
