An undercover investigation revealed that Labour member of the House of Lords, Lord David Evans of Watford, offered to facilitate discussions with government ministers on behalf of undercover reporters posing as property developers. He indicated he was willing to bend the rules by providing access to decision-makers in exchange for monetary support related to a commercial event linked to his son. Evans remarked on the current advantageous position of Labour peers and outlined a strategy to influence key government officials, further demonstrating potential breaches of ethical conduct in political lobbying.
Lord David Evans stated, "It's great being a Labour peer at the moment because we've got our mates who now have senior jobs, which is wonderful."
Lord Evans revealed to undercover reporters that to influence Angela Rayner, one should approach a more junior housing minister to gain lower ranks' support.
