Keith Vaz was the MP who raised in the Commons with an Early Day Motion. If I recall correctly, I think he admitted he hasn't seen any of BB himself but is responding to complaints he recieved from his constituents.

Basically it's a vote winner for him to raise it in the Commons, the people who complained to him are also the people who vote him into office. So it's not surprising that he brought it up in parliament. To me it still seems an incredible overreaction from people, but I have no bad feelings towards Vaz as he is only representing the interests of his constituents. It's his overreacting constituents that I have the most pity for
