As gay marriage is debated in the Commons, Northamptonshire's Conservative MP's are divided on the issue. Wellingborough's Peter Bone says "no", Michael Ellis (Northampton North) & Chris Heaton-Harris (Daventry) say "yes". The Labour MP for Corby, Andy Sawford, also says "yes" to gay marriage.

As listeners offer their views, Stuart talks to Peter Bone, to
Sean Silver, the chair of the Northamptonshire Rights and Equality Commission, and to Matthew Toreson and his partner Scott Maloney.

Matthew and Scott from Northampton applied for a marriage licence in 2010 but were turned down. They are now taking the issue to the European Court of Human Rights.
