Clegg published list of office staff and calls for spot check audits on MPs' offices

Gordon Brown is to tell Labour MPs to publicly declare any family members they employ as Conservative leader David Cameron admitted that more than 70 Tory MPs employ members of their family on their staff. The move comes after disgraced Tory MP Derek Conway was suspended from parliament for ten days yesterday over excessive payments to his son at taxpayers' expense. Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg has published details of the staff working at his offices, and urged the party's other MPs to do so too.

Lib Dems welcome LGBT History Month

The fourth Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History Month kicks off today. DELGA Chair Jen Yockney said, "It looks like an even bigger and more varied season than before with events all over the country. History Month is great for reminding us all how far we have come in the last few decades, and also thought provoking as you go back further and have to face the question 'what counts?' In the centuries before the invention of words like homosexuality, heterosexuality and bisexuality, there are many figures we can pick out as queer in our modern view - but quite how they would have seen themselves if they lived today is open to some debate."
