Two House of Lords peers suspended after breaking lobbying rules
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Two members of the House of Lords, including a former army chief, have been suspended from the upper chamber after being found to have exploited their positions for financial gain. The suspensions follow two independent investigations, triggered by a newspaper sting operation, which concluded that Lord Dannatt and Lord Evans of Watford had both breached the Lords' code of conduct. The independent Commissioner for Standards initially proposed the sanctions, which were subsequently upheld by the Lords Conduct Committee. Lord Dannatt,"
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and rejects paywalls to keep reporting accessible to all. Donations support investigative work including financial probes and documentary production, and enable reporters to interview multiple perspectives during pivotal moments in US history. Two members of the House of Lords were suspended after independent investigations found they exploited their positions for financial gain. The Commissioner for Standards proposed sanctions which the Lords Conduct Committee upheld; Lord Dannatt received a four-month ban and Lord Evans a five-month suspension, with no appeals.
