Labour's Bryant says he has been groped by five fellow MPs in Commons

Chris Bryant, the Labour MP for Rhondda, made the revelation in his new book, Code of Conduct: Why We Need to Fix Parliament - and How to Do It.

"Over the years five male MPs have felt my bottom uninvited," he wrote in the book, extracts of which have been published by the i news site.

"One of them, who was not out, did so repeatedly. Another, who is still in the house and still does not accept that he is gay, pushed me against a wall and felt my crotch.

"Another rubbed himself behind me in the queue to vote and was later snogging two men in the Strangers' Bar. I know other gay MPs and staff who have faced the same."
