CASH FOR LAWS IS “DAMNING INDICTMENT” OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.



SNP ANGUS MACNEIL DEMANDS FULL INVESTIGATION.

The MP who instigated the investigation into the Cash for Peerages scandal
has called for a full investigation into allegations members of the House
of Lords have accepted money in order to ensure legislation is changed to
favour business interests.

Commenting on the revelations in the Sunday Times of the hard working SNP MP Angus MacNeil who
represents Na H-Eileanen an Iar said;

“These allegations are a damning indictment of the House of Lords and some
of its members.

“There must be a full investigation into these claims and an end to
political consultancy by members of the Lords.

“It is no surprise to find that members of the House of Lords are more
interested in helping big business than protecting the public interest.

“Members should serve the public not their own pockets.

"Getting someone else to do the dirty work by lodging your clients
amendment is no excuse.

“Today’s revelations confirm what many have long suspected and must be
thoroughly investigated.”
