Commons Filming.

Film Suffragette is set to making film history:

"Permission has been granted for a major film to be shot inside the Houses of Parliament for the first time.

"Parts of Suffragette, which is expected to star Meryl Streep as the women's votes campaigner Emmeline Pankhurst, are to be filmed in the building.

"The Administration Select Committee has granted permission.

"Its chairman Sir Alan Haselhurst said he had been persuaded by the film's subject matter and the need to raise money for the upkeep of Parliament."

Other Houses of Parliament are available.
