Any Dream Will Do peer voted for gay adoption

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber will reveal on the Graham Norton Show this evening that he defied the Conservative whip to vote in favour of allowing gay adoption.

The musical impresario, currently starring in BBC1 camp-fest Any Dream Will Do, tells Graham:

"I got into trouble in the House of Lords because I voted in favour of gay adoption of children. I think it's a very serious point."

Lloyd Webber was the last peer to be created by John Major. Considering he has only turned up to vote 1.1% of the time, his positive endorsement of gay parenting is extra special.
