    A limited-edition beer has been brewed to commemorate Yorkshire's first female MP.

    The drink celebrates the legacy of miner's daughter, Alice Bacon, who was elected in Leeds in 1945 and went on to become a high-profile minister in the 1960s.

    Made by a brewery in Wakefield, the special beer will be on tap in the Strangers Bar in Westminster for the next week.
