BRITAIN may have the highest number of LGBT MPs in the world but much is still to be done to reach true representation, trade unionists said yesterday.

Delegates at this year’s Trades Union Congress (TUC) LGBT conference called for action on the quotas of gay, lesbian, bi or transexual people in Parliament — currently at just over 5 per cent.

The House of Commons recently welcomed the coming out of two more MPs — SNP business spokeswoman Hannah Bardell and Labour shadow Welsh secretary Nia Griffith — but activists believe Westminster is still lacking in diversity.
