Supposing that MPs sleep for 6-8 hours and get up to go to the toilet once per night, that means that during the rest of the day they are averaging a trip to the toilet every 3.2 to 3.6 hours. This estimate is somewhat on the high side, but MPs, particularly members of the Lords, do skew older, and older people tend to use the toilet more.{{Citation needed}} |
