Whatever Pays the Bills

Why go to the expense of building an expensive set for your "big budget" porn flick when you can just rent out a hospital ward? Of course at the rate we're going U.S. hospitals will be pimped out for just about anything by the time the full effects of ObamaCare are felt.

A "big budget" porn film was filmed inside an NHS hospital which hired out one of its unused wards in return for a substantial sum of money, a Tory MP has revealed.

The unnamed film, described by Conservative MP Penny Mordaunt as a "big budget" porn movie, was shot in a London hospital several years ago.

"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, Mordaunt told the House of Commons on Monday.

"To add insult to injury, the movie was a pornographic one."

Mordaunt added that the racy flick brought in some much-needed funds.

"Although I cannot claim to have seen the final picture, as I understand, these things are no longer claimable on parliamentary expenses," she quipped, "it was a big-budget affair and generated substantial income for the hospital."
