Government Chief Whip Gavin Williamson told the Daily Telegraph he keeps the spider – named Cronus – on his desk.
But how long Cronus will be living in the famous building is not clear.
A Commons spokeswoman said only guide dogs and sniffer dogs were allowed in Parliament – anyone bringing in another animal is “gently reminded of this policy and asked not to do it again”.
The office of the Serjeant at Arms – which is responsible for maintaining order on the Parliamentary estate – would get in touch with anyone breaching the rules, the spokeswoman said.
But she would not comment on a report in The Sun that Mr Williamson had already been told by the Serjeant at Arms to remove the one-year-old spider, saying individual cases would not be discussed.
