from www.google.com – A “big budget” porn movie was shot in a London hospital that hired out one of its wards to a film company, an MP claims.

Tory Penny Mordaunt (pictured]) said she made the discovery when working as communications director at Kensington and Chelsea Council.

She did not name the hospital but said it had made “substantial income” from the move.

During Commons debate on improving transparency in government accounting, Ms Mordaunt said: “When I was director of Kensington and Chelsea Council, I discovered that one of our local hospitals was hiring out one of its closed – but fully-equipped wards – to a film company to use as a film set.

“To add insult to injury, the movie was a pornographic one. Although I cannot claim to have seen the final picture – as I understand, these things are no longer claimable on parliamentary expenses – it was a big-budget affair and generated substantial income for the hospital.

“But apart from cheering up a few of the in-patients, it cannot be said to be contributing to the objectives of the PCT (primary care trust).”
