‘CASH FOR LAWS’ HOUSE OF LORDS SHOULD BE SUSPENDED PENDING INQUIRY.
NO PLACE FOR PEERS ‘IN THE KNOW AND ON THE MAKE’
The MP who instigated the investigation into the Cash for Peerages scandal has called for the Lords named over the ‘cash for laws’ allegations to be suspended pending a full independent investigation into allegations they solicited money in order to ensure legislation is changed to favour business interests.
SNP MP Angus MacNeil said:
”The sleaze allegations levelled at these Labour Lords are as serious as they can be.
”Until there has been a full independent investigation these peers should be suspended from the House of Lords with immediate effect.
”There should be no place in parliament for peers in the know and on the make.
“The House of Lords is unelected, unaccountable and now, with these revelations, it looks completely unsustainable.”
