November 8, 2006 5:09 PM

Stephen Williams - Parliamentary Spokesman for Bristol WestStephen Williams Bristol West MP has been nominated for 'Politician of the year' by gay rights equality group Stonewall.

The 2006 Stonewall Awards held last Thursday at London's Royal Academy were designed to celebrate the range of positive contributions being made by individuals and organisations to the lives of gay and lesbian people across Britain.

The event was compered by Sir Ian McKellen a founding member of Stonewall. The Citation said: 'Stephen Williams has proved himself an energetic parliamentarian."

Although Stephen narrowly missed out on the title, speaking after the awards he said: 'I am delighted and honoured to have been nominated for this award. This ceremony highlighted the tremendous achievements made by individuals and groups in opposing discrimination, prejudice and intolerance against the gay community'.

'I hope my nomination will further help the spread of acceptance and equality for all people within 21st century Britain'.

Stephen has highlighted a range of issues important to the gay community most recently helping launch the Liberal Democrat campaign to end homophobic bullying in schools.

    If you are a resident of the Bristol West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
