Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been addressing the Speaker's Conference this morning. In his opening address he explained that Parliment should be made more accessible to LGBT people.
If 6% of the population is made up of LGBT people, 40 lesbian, gay, bi or trans MPs would be needed to represent the LGBT community in Parliment.
He went to suggest Civil Partnerships could be held in parts of parliament, such as the Westminster Hall chapel, where MPs, peers and their families can get married currently.
The meeting covering MPs who are female, disabled, gay or from ethnic minorities has been made shown on the BBC News channel.
