What one is allowed to eat in foreign parliament? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diet

I believe this is a double definition.

'what one is allowed to eat' is the first definition.
(food making up a person's diet)

'foreign parliament?' is the second definition.
(term for the Japanese parliament)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for diet that I've seen before include "See 19" , "Choice of food" , "Legislative assembly in some countries" , "Attempt to shift a few pounds" , "Restricted cheer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
