The word was used by the Scottish Tory maverick Sir Nicholas Fairbairn when he intervened on Tony Blair during a 1994 debate on equalising the age of consent for homosexual and heterosexual acts. On this occasion, Hansard actually allowed it through rather than placing the word in asterisks, and the full exchange can be read HERE.

Good to see the BBC picking up on this eventually. Well not really - as whilst I tought it an amusing story for my blog (I actually sat in on the debate on Wednesday) it's hardly earth shattering is it.
The surprise is that he only found one target to aim his comments at!
Wish you hadn't written that. Have to go to the toilet now.
