Katie Wallis, 41, of Butetown, Cardiff, the MP for Bridgend in South Wales from 2019 to 2024, became the first openly transgender MP in the House of Commons in 2022. She faces two charges relating to the possession of a false passport. The first is possession of an identity document with improper intention, “namely a British passport in the name of Jamie Wallis, that was false and that she knew or believed to be false”. The second charge relates to the possession of a false identity document in the name of Jamie Wallis “that was false”. Wallis was alleged to be in possession of the document in April 2022, while she was still serving as a Conservative MP.
