A “BIG-BUDGET” pornographic movie was shot in a London hospital that hired out one of its wards to a film company, a British MP has revealed.
The X-rated film generated “substantial income” for the hospital, Conservative MP Penny Mordaunt told the House of Commons during a debate on improving transparency in government accounting.
“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,” Ms Mordaunt said.
“To add insult to injury, the movie was a pornographic one.
“Although I cannot claim to have seen the final picture . . . 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 primary care trust.”
The National Health Service authorities in the upmarket London districts of Kensington and Chelsea said the filming occurred before 2002 and before the management of hospitals was taken over by primary care trusts.
