The Whip Debate

The Racing Post had an article about a certain 'sea captain' MP (South Portsmouth - Isn't that the English Channel?) that isn't too keen on Jockey's using whips. I have no idea whether he has ever ridden a horse, it's only reported that he has bet on them occasionally, but if he hasn't I'm not sure he is qualified to comment. We have a 'regulator' in our business and in my opinion they do a good job.
MPs are put under pressure by a 'Whip' but when you see TV pictures of debates, either very few are there or they are asleep, maybe more 'Whip' is needed? Have the police investigated?
