More than 300,000 attempts were made to access pornographic websites at the Houses of Parliament in the past year, official records suggest.

More than 300,000 attempts were made to access pornographic 
websites at the Houses of Parliament in the past year, 
official records suggest.
It is unclear whether MPs, peers or other staff are responsible, 
House of Commons officials said.
The data was released following a Freedom of Information request by Huffington Post UK, which published the story with the 
headline Oh Yes, Minister!
However, the figures vary wildly: in November, there were 
114,844 attempts to access websites classed as pornographic, 
but just 15 in February.
