Alan Duncan, the shadow business secretary, is the first Tory MP to enter into a civil partnership, the Telegraph reports:
Duncan was also the first Tory MP to come out of the closet. Said Duncan: “I never ever imagined that one day I would be a beneficiary of the legislation. What James and I are entering into is not a marriage, it is a civil partnership. You could not find two more conventional people to enter into a civil partnership.”
