An MP has claimed some Conservatives make lurid hand gestures towards Labour women during debates in the Commons.
Sarah Champion said there was an "insidious" sexist culture in which "some Tories are very good at gesticulating about female assets".
Ms Champion became a Labour MP a year ago after winning a by-election in Rotherham.
She formerly worked as an arts administrator and chief executive of a children's hospice.
Ms Champion did not rule out the possibility that male Labour MPs also engaged in sexist behaviour in the chamber, but said she had not witnessed it.
