Stella Creasy cradles baby in sling as MPs return to Westminster

Babies of the House were welcomed to Parliament as MPs returned to Westminster following the general election.

Labour's Stella Creasy brought her baby daughter Hettie in a sling during her visit to the chamber.

The Walthamstow MP was among the hundreds of MPs who went through the process of making an oath of allegiance to the Crown in order to take their seats in Parliament.

Conservative education minister Kemi Badenoch was sworn in alongside her new baby and held the King James Bible while her daughter was strapped to her body.

And Labour MP Ellie Reeves and her baby boy were ushered to the front of the queue as MPs began a second day of being sworn in.

The MP for Lewisham West and Penge held the King James Bible to read the oath, while her month old-son was strapped to her in a baby carrier.
