The House of Lords is seizing back control of a Parliamentary bar amid claims it is a haunt for 'obnoxious old perv' MPs who prey on the young staff there.

Alice Bailey, 25, who worked for almost four years at the Sports and Social Bar, said she was hounded for sex by up to 30 politicians.

Miss Bailey, who was 19 when she started working there, said MPs 'fancied their chances' because they thought she was a 'young barmaid' while they were powerful.

She said she was regularly pestered for sex and that one Labour MP followed her home after a boozy night in the bar and was even groped her on a bus.

The move follows an internal inquiry, which began several months ago, commissioned by the Lord Speaker, which is also looking at whether there should be a ban on bringing guests in.

Alice Bailey, 25, said worked for almost four years at Parliament's Sports and Social Bar, where she claimed many MPs behaved like 'obnoxious old pervs'

The former barmaid told the Sun: 'They fancied their chances because I was just a young barmaid and in their minds they were very important people who presumed I would be available.'

'They were such creeps. It was pathetic as they were nearly all married and at least twice my age.'

Miss Bailey claimed that one SNP MP begged her for sex just two hours into her first shift at the bar and that a veteran Labour MP followed her home and groped her on a bus after drinking 12 pints of beer.

She also alleged that ministers often kissed their researches in the corridors of the Commons after heavy drinking sessions in the bar.

The former barmaid, from Walsall, claimed she was propositioned by around 30 MPs before she left the bar, run by a social club and overseen by the House of Lords, in 2015.

She said that many of them were from northern constituencies or Scotland and were staying in London away from their families.

The explosive claims from Miss Bailey come as Parliament continues to be rocked by a string of sex abuse and harassment claims over the past fortnight.

The scandal emerged last month after it was revealed female staff in Westminster were naming and shaming sex pest MPs on a secret WhatsApp group.

Cabinet members are believed to be among a list of politicians branded 'not safe' in taxis and lifts or 'very handsy' by aides and researchers.

While the 'usual suspects' are said to be well-known by those in Westminster, the list was recently drawn up to bring new recruits up to scratch on 'younger names'.

Female aides, belonging to the WhatsApp group then compiled a 'dirty dossier' that included 40 names, encompassing all levels of the Tory party.

It featured six Cabinet-level ministers and 12 lower-ranking ministers.

Some 10 former ministers, including a handful who served in the highest ranks of government, were also on the roll call.

But while a number of the MPs are alleged to have acted inappropriately, around 15 of the claims relate to consensual relationships or personal sexual preferences - without any apparent misconduct.

Both Labour and the Tories have been rocked by the slew of allegations with some MPs resigning or sacked as a result.

On Tuesday, Welsh Labour politician Carl Sargeant, 48, was found dead in an apparent suicide after he was sacked by the Welsh government and suspended by his party over 'shocking' claims of sexual misconduct made by three women.

While deputy Prime Minister Damian Green is under investigation by the Cabinet Office over allegations he made a clumsy pass at a Conservative activist, and sent her a flirty text message.

He has also furiously denied separate claims that police found 'extreme' - but legal - porn on his office computer in 2008.

Chris Pincher quit as a party whip and referred himself to the police over claims he made an unwanted sexual pass at a former Olympic rower Alex Story while wearing a bathrobe.
