A woman was able to wander around the Houses of Parliament in the middle of the night after security guards fell asleep on the job, it is claimed. In the latest in a series of embarrassing incidents, the middle-aged visitor evaded detection for several hours by hiding in the toilets after her official tour of the Palace of Westminster ended. She then managed to walk around the corridors of power unchallenged in the early hours of Sunday morning before she was eventually spotted and police were called in to arrest her for trespass.
