LIAISON COMMITTEE - 1ST REPORT 2010-12 REVIEW OF COMMITTEE ACTIVITY
1.

Background The Committee has agreed 1 that at the beginning of every Parliament it will meet to review the work of policy select committees before the motions of reappointment are tabled. This is the first time we have conducted such a review. We took the review to cover the European Union, Science and Technology, Constitution, Communications and Economic Affairs committees. We excluded from the review the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee and the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee, the Joint Committee on Human Rights and the technical legislative scrutiny committees. We have also excluded the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy, given that it was first appointed only on 1 February 2010. In conducting the review, we have noted the special position of the European Union Committee as a committee of scrutiny of EU draft legislation and been mindful that the Committee’s appointment should not be unduly delayed; and we have also noted the similar scrutiny role in particular of the Constitution Committee. The overall shape of Lords committee activity In our 3rd report of 2005/06 2, we set out some general criteria which we would apply to decisions about establishment of new committees. An extract from our report is set out below.

1 2
“Criteria for establishing new select committees The Committee reviewed the criteria it applies in determining whether or not to recommend that a new committee be established ad hoc or on a sessional or parliament-long basis. Many of the criteria are the same. For example, the Committee ensures that the subject matter of any new committee will be of significance and of wider interest to the House; that there will be no major overlap with the Commons, nor potential for duplication with the remit of existing Lords committees; and that sufficient members are likely to be available to sit on it. Where the proposal is for a sessional (or parliament-long) committee, it will also be necessary to take into account the extra cost and staffing and accommodation requirements (the Committee Office budget already allows for one ad hoc committee at any one time) and to establish that the committee would be of long term value. The Liaison Committee will also usually satisfy itself that the subject matter is complementary to the work of the Commons and cuts across departmental boundaries (though this matters less for the more specific ad hoc committees).

The Committee will always apply these criteria flexibly and we do not wish to suggest that they in any way constitute an exhaustive checklist. But we think that the House will find it useful to have them set it out in tabular form below:

These criteria apply equally to the continuation of current committees, and we have accordingly revisited them to see if they remain apt. Complementing Commons’ committees The principle that Lords committees should generally seek to complement rather than duplicate the areas of scrutiny of Commons committees was originally enunciated by the Jellicoe Committee in 1992 1. Although it has, from time to time, attracted a certain amount of dissent, we consider that it should remain a core principle underlying House of Lords select committee activity. We continue to endorse the principle that House of Lords committee work should be complementary to that of the Commons. No internal duplication Given the scale of Lords committee activity there was in the past little risk of Lords committees duplicating each others’ activities. The growth in committee activity over the past decade has made the prospect more real, for example in overlap between the Economic Affairs and European Union committees, or when scrutiny committees all report on the same bill. We continue to attach value to the principle that Lords committees should complement each other, in the same way as they should complement the work of Commons committees. Providing each committee remains astute to contain its own scrutiny activity within its remit, this should not preclude committees conducting inquiries on different aspects of the same issue in particular cases. Resources The Committee Office administers all of the committee units which we have included within this review. That Office has doubled in size between 2000— when it simply served the European Union and Science and Technology Committees and any ad hoc committee—and 2010, from 29 to 58 staff. The budget of the Committee Office is £4.2m in 2010–11 (this does not include Report by the Select Committee on the Committee Work of the House, HL Paper 35, 1991–92.

central accommodation, ICT or security costs or costs of Members’ expenses associated with committee work). The additional marginal cost of a new unit of committee activity is estimated at around £225,000 annually. At the same time the number of members involved in committee activity on public business has continued to expand. In 2009–10 142 members sat on the committees we have included in this review and the Joint Committee on Human Rights, and a further 21 sat on the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee and the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee. A number of other members serve on various committees engaged in legislative scrutiny. Though attendance rates at committees are in general quite high, we are conscious that this represents a heavy demand on members, even allowing for the anticipated increase in the membership of the House in the short term. Committee work imposes significant demands on resources. While in this report we do not recommend any change in the scale of committee activity in this Parliament over the last one, we will continue to keep resource requirements closely under review to ensure that committee work provides value for money, and can be supported by members. Value and significance Objective assessments of the impact and effectiveness of committee activity, particularly if it involves scrutiny of public policy, are very difficult to arrive at, as it is often problematic to establish cause and effect in how policy decisions are taken. While a variety of different indicators of effectiveness can be identified, they are difficult to measure and subjective to evaluate. For the present purposes we have accordingly sought to assess whether the committee activity in question represents a productive use of the resources of the House and the administration, and, where there is a need to prioritise between two or more alternatives, whether it represents a more productive use than the others proposed or envisaged. We intend to continue to seek to evaluate potential impact when considering new proposals for committees, or reviewing existing activity. Ad hoc committees and the duration of new committees The Committee is guided by the decision of the House that there should generally be an ad hoc committee to supplement sessional committee activity. The Committee has in the past interpreted this remit as meaning that the number of ad hoc committees should generally not exceed one at any one time, and the administration is staffed to provide that level of support. Decisions whether to appoint ad hoc committees will depend on the strength of the case for an inquiry into the particular issue. However in principle we think that ad hoc committees can be a very effective form of scrutiny, capable in the right cases of harnessing the expertise of the House to bear on issues of public policy in a way which complements the work of the other committees of the House. We will accordingly welcome proposals for ad hoc committees and will consider them carefully. In doing so we note that it should not be presupposed that ad hoc committees need to be of long duration; we think that more ad hoc inquiries should be relatively short and sharp. We also think it important to avoid any presumption that an ad hoc committee might be the forerunner of a more permanent committee. In our report in 2005–06 we stated that we would not in future recommend the appointment of new sessional committees of open-ended duration, unless there

was compelling reason to the contrary. We suggested that we would instead recommend the appointment of such committees for a fixed period, as was the case with the Communications Committee in the last Parliament, which we recommended should be appointed for the remaining term of the Parliament. We remain of the view that new committees should normally be appointed on a time-limited basis. 15.

Proposals for committee activity We invited the chairmen of the policy committees in the previous Parliament to make written submissions to us to inform our review, covering • an indication of the activity of the committee over the Parliament, including number of meetings and attendance rates, • an identification of specific areas of impact of the committee’s work, • an indication of the committee’s planned or potential forward programme of work if re-established, and • the case for any adjustments in the committee’s composition or orders of reference which the committee might wish to draw to the Liaison Committee’s attention. The submissions from the chairmen all argued for the reappointment of their committees in this Parliament, in the same form. All the chairmen pointed to impacts of their work, however measured, and all reported that their members are engaged. None of the committees envisaged any substantial change in their working methods or the nature of their inquiries in the future, though the European Union Committee pointed to the potential impact, at the margins, of the Lisbon Treaty, and this is now reflected in new House procedures, new terms of reference and a new opt-in scrutiny resolution 1. We also received suggestions for a new sessional committee on International Affairs and Security, from Lord Alton of Liverpool, and for a new ad hoc committee on British identity, from Lord Harries of Pentregarth; their letters are appended to this report. In addition, we noted various other suggestions for committee scrutiny which have been floated recently, including suggestions for further joint committees with the Commons, and pre- and post-legislative scrutiny. We also noted the likelihood of a Leader’s Group to consider the House’s working practices and potentially quite significant pre-legislative scrutiny demands on draft bills on House of Lords reform and parliamentary privilege. International Affairs and Security Committee As Lord Alton recognised, we have considered and rejected the suggestion of a committee on foreign affairs on three occasions previously, on the basis that such a committee would duplicate the work of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee. As noted above, we remain strongly of the view that House of Lords committee activity should not duplicate that of the Commons. Lord Alton’s solution is to propose that a new committee should have a broader remit than foreign affairs, to cover international affairs and security. Lord Alton noted that this would mean a committee would have the ability to oversee the work of three government departments, not just one. On the other hand his solution would mean that such a committee would have a remit covering three Commons Procedure Committee, 2nd and 3rd Reports of 2009–10, HL Papers 51 and 82.

departmental committees (Defence, Foreign Affairs, International Development), as well as potential overlap with the European Union Committee. If anything the dangers of duplication are increased. Accordingly we do not recommend this proposal to the House. On the other hand, we note that it is open to any member to suggest that the House might establish an ad hoc committee on a foreign affairs issue, where that might add value to, and avoid duplication with, other scrutiny in this House and in the Commons. We would be happy to consider any such proposal.
20.
Ad hoc committee on British identity Although we considered the issues mentioned by Lord Harries to be of undoubted interest, we did not think that they were specific enough to support a useful ad hoc inquiry, and we do not recommend this proposal to the House.

Sessional committees Given our recommendations on the new proposals made to us, we do not propose major changes at this stage in the terms of reference or activities of the sessional policy committees (European Union, Science and Technology, Economic Affairs and Constitution). Each of these committees continues to have a relevant and useful function, and we recommend their reappointment. So far as the Science and Technology Committee is concerned, we note that the Committee has recently worked through two units of activity (that is, either two sub-committees or the select committee and one sub-committee) rather than three. Given that the House of Commons committee on this subject is now permanently established, we consider these two units of activity should be regarded as an absolute maximum; and in the event of further demands for committee work arising which require redeployment of committee resources we would in the first instance look towards retrenchment of the Science and Technology Committee. We also considered the management of the Finance Bill Sub-Committee of the Economic Affairs Committee, which has always been quite demanding. We understand that in the last session this Sub-Committee was managed within the existing resources of the main Committee, without calling on additional support from other committee activity. In principle, we consider that this arrangement makes better use of the resources of the House, and we recommend that it should become the model for the support of the Sub-Committee in future. Neither of these changes requires an amendment to the Committees’ orders of reference. Communications committee As we have noted above, the Communications Committee is not a sessional committee, and in accordance with our conclusion at paragraph 14 we do not consider that it should now become one. On the other hand we consider that it has been an effective committee and we recommend that it should be reappointed in this session. We recommend that its rather broad orders of reference be amended to clarify its remit “to consider the media and the creative industries”.

APPENDIX 1: LETTER TO LORD BRABAZON OF TARA FROM LORD ALTON OF LIVERPOOL Proposed Select Committee on Foreign Affairs On January 7th, as a supplementary question to Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe’s oral question, I asked the Leader of the House whether it would be possible to create a Foreign Affairs Select Committee in order to harness the considerable expertise and experience in the House (HL Hansard Col 203). It was an issue I had raised on previous occasions. Since then, I have had a very helpful letter from the Leader, Baroness Royall of Blaisdon, suggesting that I pursue the issue with you, as Chairman of the Liaison Committee. I have also had the benefit of conversations with Lord Howell of Guildford (a former distinguished Chairman of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee), Lord Wright, Lord Hylton, the Earl of Sandwich, Baroness Cox, Lord Gilbert and others who have all expressed strong support for the principle. Lady Royall has reminded me that the Liaison Committee has previously recommended against the appointment of a Foreign Affairs Select Committee on the grounds that its remit might overlap with the Foreign Affairs Select Committee of the House of Commons and the European Union Committee of our own House. At some point, and against the backdrop of other reforms which have taken place, it might be worth re-considering this principle (not least because every time we consider legislation we are in a sense duplicating the work of the Commons and it could be argued that this is the whole point of a bicameral legislature). However, in an attempt to find a practical way forward, and following a conversation with Baroness Royall, may I suggest a different approach? If the House were to create a Select Committee on International Affairs and Security (with a specific exclusion of issues more properly remitted to the European Union Committee) this would not duplicate a Commons Committee and would have the advantage of overseeing three major Departments (the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, The Department for International Development and the Ministry of Defence). This would resonate with calls for integrated government as well as catching the spirit of accountability. It would also sit very well with the reform agenda and make much greater use of the rich variety of talent and experience available in the Lords. I would be most grateful if the Liaison Committee would give this matter some further consideration and I will look forward to hearing from you. I will copy this letter to those mentioned in this letter and to Lord Strathclyde, Lord McNally and Baroness D’Souza. 27 JANUARY 2010 LORD ALTON OF LIVERPOOL APPENDIX 2: LETTER FROM LORD HARRIES OF PENTREGARTH Proposed Select Committee on British Identity This is obviously a very important subject from the point of view of the future health of our national life, using the word for the moment to indicate the whole of the United Kingdom. It is now widely accepted that people can have multiple identities, ethnic, religious, national and so on. But what binds us together, in addition to our common humanity, is civic identity, in particular, British identity. What makes for this identity
68
9-10 Jun e APPENDIX : Liaiso in Co mmittee – 1 st Repor t 2010-12
2010
is the subject of keen debate, one which was summarized for example in a useful briefing paper provided by the House of Lords before the debate in the Lords last year. At the moment a number of different bodies and factors feed into both the making of the identity and the debate about how it should be defined. For example, citizenship education, citizenship ceremonies, the teaching of history, the government’s cohesion unit and all bear upon this area. It would be useful to have a group that considered this whole range of this work from the standpoint of its contribution to British identity. A House of Lords Select Committee is in a unique position to be able to do this. Secondly, it seems clear that in some areas, e.g. citizenship education, the original goals are not yet being achieved, and it would be good to have a body outside the organizations who are most directly responsible able to monitor and encourage progress. The committee would focus on the particular role and responsibility of government in relation to civic identity. The coming together of this with other markers of identity, such as ethnicity, language, culture, religion etc, cannot be forced, but in the right environment can grow. A particular feature of the proposed select committee would be to see how far the different participants and factors in this issue are contributing to or hindering this coming together of civic identity with other forms of identity. Only a body like a select committee could do this, not least because it raises some disputed issues. 24 MAY 2010 PROFESSOR LORD HARRIES OF PENTREGARTH

Introductions On 28 May, the Prime Minister published a list of 56 new Peers. In order to allow all the new Peers to be introduced before the summer recess, the Leader of the House has proposed that, between now and the summer recess, up to three introductions should be allowed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. We support this proposal, which makes use of the flexibility allowed, in exceptional circumstances, by paragraph 1.13 of the Companion to the Standing Orders. In addition, the House authorities have agreed that, over the same period, up to two introductions should be allowed each Wednesday, and the first such introductions have been scheduled in House of Lords Business. Although not normal practice, Wednesday introductions are permitted by the Companion. It is intended that these arrangements should run until the House rises for the summer recess, at which point the usual arrangements will resume. On the assumption that his proposal is agreed, and in order to minimise the impact on the business of the House, the Leader has indicated that on days when there are three introductions planned (on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday), the House will sit 15 minutes earlier than the usual sitting time (in other words, at 2.15pm on a Monday or Tuesday, and at 10.45am on a Thursday). There will be no change to Wednesday sitting times. We recommend that, between now and the 2010 summer recess, up to three introductions should be allowed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

PRIVILEGES AND CONDUCT COMMITTEE - 1ST REPORT 2010-12 MR TREVOR PHILLIPS: ALLEGATION OF CONTEMPT
1.

1
Introduction On 10 February 2010 the Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) published its 7th Report of 2009-10, Allegation of Contempt: Mr Trevor Phillips. 1 This report alleged that on 8 February, the day before the JCHR was to consider a draft report directly relevant to the work of Mr Phillips as Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), he had spoken to and sought to influence members of the Joint Committee. The report concluded that Mr Phillips’ actions “could constitute a contempt of both Houses”, and recommended that they “be subject to investigation by the Privileges Committees of both Houses.” On 25 February the House agreed a motion to refer the report to the Committee for Privileges. Two days earlier a similar motion had been agreed in the House of Commons, referring the report to the Standards and Privileges Committee. Background to our inquiry Erskine May states that “joint committees are formally composed of separate select committees appointed by each House to work together”. While they work together as one committee, they are “defined in procedural terms as two committees”. 2 It follows that, in procedural terms, interference with a Lords member of a joint committee is a contempt of the House of Lords, and interference with a Commons member a contempt of the House of Commons. Thus both Privileges Committees had a direct interest in investigating the alleged contempt. However, we did not consider that it would be either efficient or fair to Mr Phillips for two investigations to be taken forward concurrently. As the

Commons committee had already launched its investigation by the time we met on 1 March, we decided to take no action until that committee had completed its work. The Commons committee took written evidence from Mr Phillips himself, from the Chairman of the JCHR, Mr Andrew Dismore, and from staff of the Joint Committee. Mr Dismore’s evidence included memoranda from all members of the Joint Committee who had spoken to Mr Phillips, including the Lords members. These memoranda were published online at the end of the last Parliament. 1 Although it published the memoranda, the Commons committee did not make a report on the allegations. However, the then chairman, Sir Malcolm Rifkind MP, wrote to the Chairman of Committees on 30 March, outlining his committee’s thinking. He noted that one factor dissuading his committee from publishing a substantive report was the “perceived need to avoid pre-empting the outcome of any inquiry that may be undertaken by the Committee for Privileges of the House of Lords.” At the same time he indicated that his committee “was unable to conclude on the basis of the evidence received thus far that there had been any contempt of the kind alleged in the Joint Committee’s Report”. It appears unlikely that the successor Commons committee will take any further action in the matter, unless another complaint is made by the JCHR and referred by the House of Commons. Although the Commons committee has no jurisdiction in respect of interference with a member of the House of Lords, which would be a contempt of this House, in practice the evidence collected by the Commons committee comprises all the relevant and readily available information with regard to both Houses. We have therefore drawn heavily on this published evidence in reaching the conclusions and recommendations set out in this report. Events leading up to the allegation of contempt The evidence shows that from early January 2010 there were concerns within the EHRC about the impending JCHR report, in particular about the way in which oral and written evidence (some of which might be defamatory) would be handled. On 4 February, Mr Phillips discussed these concerns with senior staff, and it was agreed that he would contact members of the committee directly, in particular those whom he “knew personally”, to raise these concerns. Six members of the JCHR were suggested, though in the event Mr Phillips only succeeded in speaking to three of these, Fiona Mactaggart MP, Lord Dubs and Baroness Falkner of Margravine. Then on 6 February 2010, two days before the alleged contempt occurred, Mr Phillips received an email from an un-named member of the EHRC staff. The member of staff reported that they had been “talking to someone who had had sight of the current draft of the JCHR report”.

and was able to convey a sense of the key conclusions—which included criticism of Mr Phillips and of decision making within the EHRC. It appears therefore that a leak occurred between 4 and 6 February. Mr Phillips’ conversations with Fiona Mactaggart, Lord Dubs and Baroness Falkner of Margravine took place on 8 and 9 February (though Fiona Mactaggart’s evidence shows that the call had in fact been booked on 4 February, in other words before the apparent leak of the draft report). The accounts given of these conversations by the members concerned are broadly consistent. In each case Mr Phillips raised the issue of publication of evidence, and the possibility that certain evidence might be redacted. He also touched on the personal criticisms directed against him, and accused the Chairman of the JCHR, either explicitly or by implication, of unfairness. Did Mr Phillips’ actions constitute a contempt? The reactions of the three members to their conversations with Mr Phillips diverged widely, demonstrating the lack of a common understanding of the boundary between, on the one hand, legitimate engagement and persuasion, and, on the other, contempt: • Fiona Mactaggart’s evidence says that “In view of the colossal damage to Mr Phillips’ reputation in this whole process, I frankly would not think him worthy of the well-paid and responsible position he holds if he did not seek to influence, in a wholly proper way, the outcome of this enquiry by drawing attention to evidence and to the importance of due process.” • Lord Dubs’ comments are neutral: “I had no reason to think that he had seen a copy and I assumed that he was simply expressing a general concern based upon the evidence the committee had received from witnesses.” • Baroness Falkner of Margravine got the impression that Mr Phillips had “either seen the report or was familiar with its contents”. She told Mr Phillips in the course of the conversation that she “could not have a discussion about the committee’s work with a ‘concerned’ party”; her evidence also describes the conversation as “deeply inappropriate”. We accept that Mr Phillips’ actions could, in certain circumstances, be judged to constitute a contempt. Erskine May notes that “attempts by improper means to influence Members in their parliamentary conduct may be considered contempts”, before indicating that improper “pressure” may be applied by means of “a positive and conscious effort to shift an existing opinion in one direction or another.” 1 Mr Phillips’ actions could certainly be deemed to have been an attempt by improper means to influence Members in their parliamentary conduct. However, it is clear from the wording of Erskine May that each House enjoys considerable discretion in applying these general principles to individual cases. The House “may” consider particular actions to be contempts, but it is not bound to do so. We therefore sought, before determining whether or not Mr Phillips’ actions should be considered a contempt, to put them into context. First, we note that Mr Phillips met senior staff of the EHRC on 4 February, before the draft report was apparently leaked, to discuss concerns over the Erskine May, p 147.

handling of written and oral evidence. These concerns were entirely legitimate. However, it should have been obvious to Mr Phillips that the proper way to have raised such concerns would have been to call or write to the Chairman or clerk of the JCHR, not to ring up individual members of the JCHR with whom he was personally acquainted. Mr Phillips’ behaviour in ringing individual members of the JCHR, in order to raise his concerns over the handling of evidence, was inappropriate and ill-advised. Having given Mr Phillips an opportunity to comment on this report in draft, we note that he does not consider it reasonable, in the circumstances, that he should be criticised in these terms (see Appendix). However, notwithstanding his comments, we remain of the view that for Mr Phillips to telephone individual members of the JCHR with whom he was personally acquainted was an inappropriate and ill-advised course of action. Between the meeting on 4 February and the conversations on 8-9 February, it appears that the JCHR report was leaked to a member of the EHRC staff. So by 8 February Mr Phillips was aware that the draft report criticised him personally, and his sense of grievance, of being unfairly treated, came out very strongly in the conversations themselves. This compounded Mr Phillips’ mistake in making the calls in the first place. In passing we note that the leak itself, if there was one, may well have constituted a contempt of both Houses, in that, in the words of Erskine May, it tended to “obstruct or impede” 1 the work of the Joint Committee. But the leak was not the responsibility of Mr Phillips or the EHRC, but of the person who divulged that information. Moreover, given that the JCHR report made no complaint regarding a leak, it falls outside the remit of our inquiry. We have therefore not investigated the leak further. However, in considering whether Mr Phillips’ actions constituted a contempt, we have also taken into account other circumstances, which help to explain Mr Phillips’ behaviour. First, we note that the conversations that took place on 8-9 February were, as Mr Phillips’ published memorandum states, part of a series of contacts between EHRC staff and the JCHR in late 2009 (when Mr Phillips and colleagues appeared before the Joint Committee) and early 2010. Most of these contacts were unobjectionable, and no complaint has been made in regard to them. The conclusion drawn from this by Mr Phillips, in his memorandum, is that the dividing line between legitimate engagement with committees and inappropriate interference, amounting in some cases to contempt, is unclear. We have some sympathy with his view. The guidance issued to witnesses does not explain the concept of contempt, or provide any warning of the possible consequences; nor does it provide clear instructions to witnesses as to the appropriate means of communication with committees. Many select committees encourage and thrive on informal contacts with witnesses, as well as on formal evidence sessions. In the absence of guidance as to the appropriate means of communicating with committees, witnesses or other interested parties may err through ignorance rather than design. Although such ignorance does not necessarily excuse inappropriate behaviour, in the present case, and in light of the background described in the published memoranda, we accept it as an important factor.

Another relevant factor is whether or not any harm was caused to the JCHR’s work. The JCHR agreed its report on the EHRC 1 on 2 March, notwithstanding the events of the previous month. The former Chairman of the JCHR, Mr Dismore, states that “the constructive working atmosphere in the committee was undermined”. He further claims that “it was difficult to escape the conclusion that some Members had been influenced in their approach to the draft Report by their private conversations with Mr Phillips.” While we give due weight to the comments of the Chairman, we note that they are subjective, and that no firm factual evidence is presented in their support; nor are they borne out by the submissions by individual members of the JCHR. We therefore conclude that, however inappropriate and ill-advised, Mr Phillips’ actions did not significantly obstruct or impede the work of the JCHR. Therefore, taking all the circumstances into account, we do not consider Mr Phillips’ conduct to amount to a contempt of the House. Having considered the memoranda published by the House of Commons Standards and Privileges Committee, we conclude that Mr Trevor Phillips was not guilty of a contempt of the kind alleged by the Joint Committee on Human Rights. We recommend that the guidance issued to witnesses appearing before Lords select committees should in future state explicitly that any contact between witnesses and the committees should be made through the clerk or Chairman. Procedural fairness The Joint Committee’s report on the EHRC, which appeared in March, contains strong personal criticism of Mr Phillips. We are concerned that current procedure affords individuals who are the subject of such personal criticism in a committee report no formal opportunity to see and comment on a draft ahead of publication. We note that the “Salmon principles”, which derive from the 1966 Royal Commission on Tribunals of Inquiry, chaired by Lord Salmon, afforded extensive rights to witnesses and other persons involved in such tribunals. More recently, the Inquiries Act 2005 created a statutory requirement that the Chairman of any tribunal of inquiry must act with “fairness”, 2 while the Inquiry Rules 2006 set out a procedure whereby any person subject to criticism in an inquiry is sent a “warning letter”, and given a “reasonable opportunity” to respond. 3 Moreover, the House’s own disciplinary procedures reflect, in accordance with the Code of Conduct, the principles of “natural justice and fairness”. Members who are subject to adverse findings by the House of Lords Commissioner for Standards not only have advance sight of such findings, but enjoy a formal right of appeal against these findings to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. We believe that, in the interests of fairness, persons who are subject to criticism of a damaging and personal nature in select committee reports should have similar rights to those afforded to persons who are criticised in inquiries.
JCHR, Equality and Human Rights Commission (13th Report, 2009-10, HL Paper 72/HC 183). Inquiries Act 2005, s 17(3). The Inquiry Rules 2006 (S.I.2006/1838), rule 13.

We acknowledge that this general principle is subject to a number of qualifications. Select committee inquiries are almost always political in character, and therefore very different from both tribunals of inquiry and internal disciplinary proceedings, which are judicial in character. Moreover, the ability of committees to criticise Ministers, when acting in a ministerial rather than a personal capacity, must be protected. The position of senior officials, or those responsible for public bodies (including the EHRC) also requires further consideration. While there are examples from other parliaments (for instance, New Zealand) of procedures analogous to the “warning letter” procedure, further work and consultation is needed before such procedures can be introduced here. The proper body to undertake such work is the Procedure Committee. We recommend to the House that the Procedure Committee be invited to consider the procedure to be followed in a case where a committee intends to make personal criticisms of a named individual (other than a Minister).
APPENDIX Letter from Mr Trevor Phillips to Lord Brabazon of Tara, 2 July 2010 I am very grateful to you and the Committee for the opportunity to comment on the draft report, which Christopher Johnson sent me on 28 June. I welcome the findings of the report, in particular your conclusion that I was not guilty of contempt of the kind alleged by the Joint Committee on Human Rights. I also welcome your recommendations that there should be explicit guidance for witnesses to select committees about contact between witnesses and committees, and that the Procedure Committee should be invited to consider the procedure to be followed in a case where a Committee intends to make personal criticism of a named individual. If I may say so, it seems to me that, if both of these recommendations are followed, it is much less likely that there will be disputes in future about what may, or may not, be properly said to members of Committees, when they are considering draft reports. As I said in my evidence to the House of Commons Standards and Privileges Committee, it is unlikely that there would have been any communications between myself and members of the Joint Committee in this case, if any of us had been aware of a published protocol or established convention on this issue. As your draft report clearly recognises, there is no such guidance in place at present. In that situation, I must ask if it is reasonable that your report should criticise my telephone conversations, made on behalf of the Commission, with members of the Joint Committee as “inappropriate” and “ill-advised”. Indeed, at least one of the members to whom I spoke took a very different view of our conversation. Your report rightly says that the “obvious” procedure was to have contacted either the Chair or officials of the JCHR in relation to our concerns. I agree. As a matter of fact, both the Director-General of the Commission and I (6 January and 18 January respectively) had written to the Chair of the Joint Committee on the question of how the Committee would handle written and oral evidence to it; other officers of the Commission had raised the same issue with the Clerk by email. We had had no response to our questions. Your draft report describes our concerns as “entirely legitimate”. I find it hard to see that my calls to individual members of the Committee can therefore be described as ill-advised or inappropriate in these circumstances.

BY WARRANT UNDER THE QUEEN’S SIGN MANUAL APPENDIX 4 HOUSE COMMITTEE - 1ST REPORT 2010-12 FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS
1
1.
This report invites the House to agree to important changes, put forward by the Leader of the House, to the system for financial support available to Members of the House. It also makes a number of consequential and more detailed recommendations.
2.
In June 2009, the then Prime Minister, at the request of this Committee, asked the Review Body on Senior Salaries (SSRB) to review the financial support available to Members of the House of Lords. The SSRB published its report on 26 November 1, and on 14 December the House accepted the principles and architecture of the system proposed by SSRB and established an ad hoc group of Members (“the group”), chaired by Lord Wakeham, to consider and consult on the SSRB’s proposal and to advise this Committee on their implementation. The ad hoc group reported on 28 June 2.

3.
The Leader of the House made an oral statement on the same day 1, outlining his proposed response to the SSRB’s review of financial support in light of the publication of the ad hoc group’s report. He announced his intention to table Resolutions for agreement by the House before the summer recess to put in place a new scheme. It is intended that the Resolutions should be considered by the House alongside this report.
4.
We take this opportunity to put on record our gratitude for the work of the SSRB. They conducted the review at our request to a tight timetable. Equally the ad hoc group, chaired by Lord Wakeham, has done a very valuable job in consulting Members widely and offering sensible advice to this Committee on how a new scheme, within the principles and architecture of the system proposed by the SSRB, might best be implemented.
Daily allowance 5.
The SSRB recommended “the introduction of a daily fee for attendance by Members” and for this fee to be a combination of the existing allowances for day subsistence, secretarial and office costs. The group accepted these recommendations, but proposed that the “daily fee” be renamed “daily allowance” as, unlike a professional fee, such a payment would be expected to cover the associated costs of attendance, such as secretarial support or meals and taxis in the course of a Member’s Parliamentary duties. The Committee recommends the introduction of a new daily allowance, and this term is used in the Leader’s Resolution.
6.
It is difficult to arrive at specific criteria for measurement of a Member’s contribution to the work of the House. Every review body which has considered the issue has seen attendance at the House or a Select Committee as the best indicator which can be applied fairly to all Members. Much Parliamentary work is by necessity carried out outside the Chamber; and we recognise too that many Members carry out Parliamentary work independently of the House and during recesses and at weekends. We take the view that financial support for Members should continue to be based on attendance as its core criterion.
Level of the daily allowance
1
7.
In addition to the introduction of the daily fee, the SSRB recommended maintaining a separate allowance of up to £140 to cover the costs of overnight accommodation for Members whose principal residence is outside a reasonable commuting distance of Westminster. The group accepted the SSRB’s recommendation but proposed that an optional interim arrangement be put in place whereby Members could choose to claim up to £100 without entering the more complex arrangements proposed by the SSRB for the £140 allowance.
8.
The group also highlighted an alternative option of “a simplified allowance, to replace the daily allowance and the overnight allowance recommended by the SSRB.”
9.
In recommendation 17 of its report, the group suggested that this option might be considered in light of the coalition Government’s plans to reform the House for the next Parliament.

2010
10.
In his oral statement, the Leader of the House expressed his view that such an alternative approach should be adopted. It would, he said, represent the “abolition of the expenses regime as we know it, and in future, payment for staying overnight, taxis, meals, secretaries and research assistants would all come out of that single payment.”
11.
The group and the Leader both suggested that the combined allowance would be a simpler alternative, without the need to install additional and more complex bureaucracy, possibly on a very temporary basis.
12.
There was support for the Leader’s proposal from the Leader of the Opposition and the Convener of the Crossbench peers. Given the Government’s plans for reform of the House of Lords for the next Parliament, the context of financial support to Members has changed; we accept the arguments against introducing more complex or costly arrangements on a temporary basis when a simpler and more comprehensible alternative is available.
13.
The House’s agreement to the Leader’s Resolution would mean that the recommendations of the SSRB and the ad hoc group for overnight subsistence would be redundant. These are recommendations 8-13 of the SSRB’s report and recommendations 11-16 and recommendation 18 of the ad hoc group’s report.
14.
Agreement to the Resolution would also mean that the arrangements which the House, on the advice of this Committee, made at the end of the last Parliament in March for defining and declaring Members’ principal residences would be discontinued. All Members would be eligible for the same financial support regardless of where they lived. We remain strongly of the view that it was right to respond robustly to the weaknesses of the scheme which had been identified over the past year. However, we agree that, given the likelihood of reform, there are advantages in a simpler, less bureaucratic system when residence is not the critical component of the scheme.
15.
We therefore agree with the Leader’s proposal that the day subsistence, overnight subsistence and office costs elements be combined into a single, flat rate of £300, to which Members are entitled on the basis of attendance.
16.
In paragraphs 20-22 below, we recommend that a reduced rate allowance should be put in place, set at £150, to which Members on certain types of official Parliamentary business away from Westminster should be entitled. We also recommend that a Member should be able to elect to receive the reduced rate for attendance at the House, where they consider it appropriate, rather than the full allowance of £300. In addition, we draw attention to the SSRB’s recommendation that “Members who do not wish to receive a fee need not claim it.”
17.
A Member may elect to receive the reduced rate of £150 on a monthly basis.
Recording attendance 18.
The SSRB asked that “the House explore how technology could be used to improve the system of verifying and measuring Members’ attendance at the House.” The group did not believe “that there is any serious difficulty with the current arrangements for recording attendance, and any additional technology is likely to have an associated cost.” We agree with the ad hoc group that there is no fundamental problem with the existing means of recording attendance, which is done manually. However we consider it appropriate to invite the House authorities to consider whether there is a case for greater use of technology in recording attendance, bearing in mind the need to keep any associated costs to a minimum.

Certification 19.
The SSRB and the group agreed that the relevant forms for the daily allowance should require Members to certify that they are receiving the allowance in respect of Parliamentary work. We recommend that the relevant forms be amended accordingly.
Authorised Parliamentary Business Away from Westminster 20.
The SSRB asked the House “to consider and define which activities... should entitle Members to claim a daily fee and any other relevant allowances, subject to approval by the House authorities as authorised parliamentary business.” The group endorsed the principles that “Members of the House should not be placed at any financial disadvantage through official travel away from Westminster”; and that all travel on such authorised Parliamentary business should continue to be administered by the House administration, in conjunction with the Commons House authorities as appropriate.
21.
Over the years, this Committee has agreed that Members should be able to claim certain expenses when participating in some categories of business away from Westminster. There are three categories of such business as follows:
a) travel on behalf of the House on official select committee business and on Parliamentary delegations to certain inter-Parliamentary assemblies. Members may claim expenses in respect of any day on which they take part in such business;
b) travel in connection with certain authorised business, such as CPA and IPU business. Members may only claim expenses for such business in respect of days when the House is sitting; and
c) travel on an individual basis to the UK devolved Assemblies or the EU Institutions or national Parliaments. actual overnight costs for this.
Members may only claim travel and
We see no need to make any substantive change to category c) above. Equally, we do not propose any change at present to the types of business away from Westminster which should be supported. 22.
In deciding what to recommend for the new scheme, we took the view that, as the new daily allowance in part replaces the existing categories of expenses, Members should be entitled to receive the reduced daily allowance of £150 for business away from Westminster in categories a) and b). A table showing the proposed revised entitlements for business away from Westminster is included in Annex A.
23.
So far as class of travel is concerned, we recommend that the Committee Office and the Overseas Office, which are responsible for the travel arrangements for business away from Westminster, should continue to seek to match value for money with the need for travel to meet the legitimate needs of Members, including making efficient use of the time spent on visits. We do not recommend that such arrangements should be limited to a particular class of travel.
Travel expenses 24.
The Committee now make a number of recommendations about Members’ travel
198
13 Ju ly A PPENDIX 4 : House Co mmittee – 1 st Repor t 2010-12
2010
expenses. 25.
The SSRB recommended that “necessary car parking at stations and airports and road tolls should be treated as permissible travelling expenses.” Road tolls for these purposes did not extend to the London Congestion Charge. The group agreed. We accordingly recommend that the House agree to the SSRB’s recommendations on car parking and road tolls. If the House agrees to this recommendation, the Finance Department will draw up an indicative list of the tolls and parking schemes which would be covered.
26.
The SSRB recommended that where a House of Lords travel card is not used to pay for travel by public transport, all claims for travel should be accompanied by receipts or tickets. The group agreed. We accordingly recommend that, where Members do not use a House of Lords’ travel credit card, all travel expenses should be reimbursed on the basis of receipts or tickets.
27.
The SSRB recommended that all claims for vehicle mileage should be accompanied by details of individual journeys; and that only one claim should be made per journey, per vehicle. The group agreed. We accordingly recommend that all claims for vehicle mileage should be accompanied by details of individual journeys; and that only one claim should be made per journey, per vehicle.
28.
The SSRB recommended that travel expenses, excluding taxis, should be paid from a Member’s residence to the entrance of the House of Lords. The group agreed. In light of the Leader’s proposal to introduce a flat-rate allowance, the Committee took the view that this recommendation should be reconsidered in respect of those Members who live inside Greater London because such travel could be considered to be covered by the new allowance.
29.
If travel expenses for Members who live outside Greater London are still to be reimbursed, the Members concerned will need to provide the Finance Department with an address from which travel expenses to and from the House may be claimed. We recommend that only those Members who live outside Greater London should be reimbursed for travel expenses to and from Westminster.
30.
On rail travel, the SSRB recommended that “Members be allowed to claim for first class travel where this is justified by their need to work whilst travelling.” The group had reservations about this, suggesting that it was “problematic given the lack of an obvious definition of what constitutes ‘work’”; and that as a result it could not be verified. Although the group was “prepared to recommend that, in the circumstances, it should be accepted”, it was attracted to the subsequent decision by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) to put the focus on value for money rather than on class of travel for Members of the House of Commons. In practical terms, this would mean enabling Members to travel in any class they choose, and to be reimbursed up to the ceiling cost of a standard class open ticket. We agree that the IPSA proposal has merit. We accordingly recommend that Members be reimbursed for train travel up to the ceiling cost of a standard open ticket, whatever class they choose to travel.
31.
The SSRB recommended that spouses’, civil partners’ and dependants’ travel should only be reimbursed at the cost of standard class travel. The group recommended that the same rules should apply as apply to Members, for a limit of up to six return journeys per year, for days when the House is sitting. We support this recommendation. These journeys should be reimbursed up to the ceiling cost of a standard open ticket.

199
On air travel, the SSRB recommended that only the costs of travel at economy class should be reimbursed for flights within the United Kingdom. The ad hoc group received a number of representations from Members on the need for flexible tickets, in order to cope with the unpredictability of Parliamentary business. Accordingly the group recommended that the current arrangements be maintained. IPSA have indicated that they will reassess the arrangements recently put in place for MPs. For these reasons, we do not recommend a change at this point in time to the current entitlements for the reimbursement of air travel expenses. We will reconsider the entitlements in light of the final decision in the House of Commons.
Support for absence due to illness 33.
Neither the SSRB nor the group could see a way to introduce support for Members who cannot attend the House through illness. The ad hoc group expressed its concern at this position, and asked that the next review of financial support consider the issue again. We agree that at present it is not possible to introduce such a scheme.
Further Review 34.
The SSRB recommended that it carry out a further review three years from the scheme coming into operation. The group recommended a review after one year after this point. In light of the Leader’s oral statement on 28 June and the government’s plans for reform of the House, we propose that the arrangements, if agreed by the House, should be maintained for the duration of the current Parliament. The House would, of course, retain the ability to seek an earlier review, as appropriate, should any difficulties with the new scheme arise. We recommend that any new arrangements are put in place for the duration of the present Parliament.

PRIVILEGES AND CONDUCT COMMITTEE - 2ND REPORT 2010-12 THE CONDUCT OF THE EARL OF CAITHNESS 1.
2.
3.
We have received a report by the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct on the conduct of the Earl of Caithness, following an investigation by the House of Lords Commissioner for Standards. The report by the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct is printed at Appendix 1; the report by the Commissioner for Standards is printed at Appendix 2. The Commissioner has found that Lord Caithness breached the rules of the House governing the use of facilities and refreshment department functions, and has disposed of the complaints by way of agreed remedial action. The SubCommittee has endorsed the Commissioner’s conclusions, and recommends no further action. We make this report to the House for information.
APPENDIX 1: REPORT FROM THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON LORDS’ CONDUCT Code of Conduct: complaint against the Earl of Caithness Report from the House of Lords Commissioner for Standards 1. The Sub-Committee has received a report from the Commissioner for Standards about the conduct of the Earl of Caithness. The Commissioner’s report is printed as an appendix to this report. 2. The Commissioner has found that Lord Caithness breached the rules of the House governing the use of facilities and refreshment department functions. The Commissioner has disposed of the complaints by way of agreed remedial action, as provided for in paragraph 123 of the Guide to the Code of Conduct. We consider that to be appropriate and recommend only that a report be made to the House for information. “Remedial action” 3. The Commissioner has drawn the attention of the Sub-Committee to the usefulness of remedial action in dealing with breaches that are minor and fully acknowledged by the member concerned. We agree. In cases such as this, it would be disproportionate for the Sub-Committee to have to recommend a sanction. 4. The Guide to the Code of Conduct does not however make clear provision for remedial action beyond amendment of the Register. We will consider this matter in more detail when we start our review of the Guide after the summer recess. In the short term, we consider that future letters of apology agreed between the Commissioner and a member should be addressed to the Chairman of this SubCommittee and included with the Commissioner’s report. In such cases, it would also be desirable if the Commissioner exercised his duty to inform the complainant of the action taken at the time at which any report from the Committee for Privileges and Conduct is published.

APPENDIX 2: REPORT FROM THE HOUSE OF LORDS COMMISSIONER FOR STANDARDS ON COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE EARL OF CAITHNESS Complaints 1.1 On 14 April 2010 Mr Niven Sinclair wrote to the Registrar of Lords’ Interests to complain about the Earl of Caithness and specifically alleged that the Earl had breached the Code of Conduct for Members of the House of Lords (see Annex A). He included a copy of a website advertisement for a commercially organised trip to the United Kingdom which included a ‘private tour of Parliament with Lord Caithness.’ 1.2 On 24 May 2010, Ms Rhoda Grant MSP wrote to the Clerk of Parliaments citing the same website as mentioned by Mr Sinclair and asked the Clerk to investigate a potential breach of the relevant rules to which peers must adhere (see Annex B) 1.3 The House approved my appointment to the post of Lords’ Commissioner for Standards on 2 June 2010 and I took up my appointment on 3 June 2010 when both complaints were forwarded to me. I wrote to both complainants advising them that I was now responsible for assessing their individual complaints. In compliance with the Guide to the Code of Conduct, I conducted a preliminary assessment and determined that both complaints justified investigation. For investigative purposes I treated them as a single complaint as both complainants referred to the one set of facts. On 10 June 2010, I advised the complainants of my decision. I also wrote to the Earl of Caithness, inviting him to respond in writing with a full and accurate account of the matters in question (see Annex C). Investigation 2.1 The current Code came into force on 18 May 2010 but is not retrospective in scope. However, the enforcement process set out in the Guide to the Code of Conduct is retrospective, in that the Commissioner may investigate allegations made within four years of the conduct complained of. Both complaints refer to conduct in 2009. 2.2 Both complainants refer to a website advertisement for a commercially organised trip to the United Kingdom which included a ‘private tour of Parliament with Lord Caithness.’ The advertisement constituted prima facie evidence that there may have been breaches of the following rules: Functions are not to be used for purposes of direct or indirect financial or material gain by a sponsoring Member, political party, or any other person or outside organisation; 16and Members may raise money for charity by offering private tours of the Palace but not for any other cause 17. 2.3 Research revealed that the Earl of Caithness had made a booking for the Attlee Room on 14 October 2009 and subsequently cancelled his booking reservation on 19 January 2010. The date reserved was 17 May 2010 when a party of between 16 and 32 was expected for lunch. The website advertisement envisaged the tour party departing America on 15 May 2010 and gathering in London for a ‘private tour of Parliament.’

2.4 On 27 June 2010 the Earl of Caithness wrote to me (see Annex D) and provided an explanation in response to the complaints and supporting material supplied to him. Consideration and response 3.1 In my view the website advertisement could, not unreasonably, give rise to the impression that the Earl of Caithness was associated with a commercial venture which involved the use of House of Lords facilities. However, his response is comprehensive and frank. A venture initially based on friendship with the potential for charitable giving, changed character with the involvement of travel agents and the open advertisement for additional paying participants. The Earl of Caithness is quite clear that this change took place without his knowledge. He then explicitly recognises that the website advertisement could be construed as suggesting that he had a financial interest in showing paying guests around the House of Lords. The trip and visit to Parliament never took place and he cancelled his booking with the Refreshments Department. 3.2 I have carefully considered the behaviour complained of and the Earl of Caithness’ response. I believe that he breached the rules governing the use of facilities and refreshment department functions agreed by the House. However, he was extremely open in his response and sets out an account which I have no reason to challenge. He specifically and explicitly apologises for not being more alert to the danger that third party action could transform what he intended as a bona fide booking into one which could create a false impression. He acknowledges the need to uphold the highest standards of probity as a Member of the House of Lords. I am satisfied that his letter of response is genuine and heartfelt and enables me to dispose of this matter by way of ‘remedial action’ as set out at Paragraph 123 of the Guide to the Code of Conduct. The Earl of Caithness has “put the record straight” and apologised for his actions which gave rise to the concern reported by the two complainants. Thus, no further action is required or appropriate. 3.3 I wrote to the complainants on 8 July 2010 advising them that I had upheld their complaints and agreed ‘remedial action’, namely a full explanation from the Earl of Caithness, an apology for not being more alert to how third party action could project a false impression and a commitment to ensuring no actions of his will give rise to similar concern in the future. 3.4 I consider that remedial action in the form of an apology is a valuable tool to conclude breaches such as this, but the Guide to the Code of Conduct does not say much about its operation. I would welcome the Sub-Committee’s guidance as to whether such apologies are better directed to the House or Sub-Committee rather than to me. Paul Kernaghan House of Lords Commissioner for Standards 8 July 2010 Annex A: Letter from Niven Sinclair to Brendan Keith, Registrar of Lords’ Interests, 14 April 2010 The Earl of Caithness You may recall that I wrote to you on 6th March drawing your attention the apparent connivance of Lord Caithness in a purchase which was aimed at the avoidance of

19 Ju ly APPENDIX 4 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 2nd Report 2010 -12
227
Capital Gains Tax which I considered fell within the seven principles which are set out in the Code of Conduct expected from members of the House of Lords. Your reply of the 16th March intimated that my complaint fell outside that Code of Conduct and, in consequence, the relevant Sub-Committee on Lord’s Interests and Conduct had no jurisdiction to receive my complaint. As my complaint was clearly in the public interest, I found your decision to be surprising but, perhaps, the following information and attachments will fall within the Code of Conduct for which your subCommittee is responsible for monitoring: “Relevant financial interests 12. The following financial interests are always relevant and therefore must be registered: (a) any consultancy agreement under which Members of the House provide parliamentary advice or services. A copy of any such agreement, and the remuneration received by Members for advice in relation to parliamentary matters, must be deposited with the Registrar of Lords’ Interests, so that details are available for public inspection. (b) employment or any other financial interest in businesses involved in parliamentary lobbying on behalf of clients, including public relations and law firms but Members of the House involved with organisations that offer commercial lobbying services are not obliged to refrain from participating in parliamentary business in connection with all clients of that organisation but only their personal clients; (c) any remunerated service which Members of the House provide by virtue of their position as members of Parliament, and the clients of any such service. (d) employment as a non-parliamentary consultant; (e) remunerated directorships; (f) regular remunerated employment (excluding occasional income from speeches, lecturing, broadcasting and journalism); (g) shareholdings amounting to a controlling interest; (h) provision by an outside body of secretarial and research assistance; (i) visits with costs paid in the United Kingdom and overseas, made as a Member of Parliament, except any visits paid for from public funds”. (http://www.publications.parliament.uklpa/ld/ldcond/ldcond.htm) It now appears that Lord Caithness has been hired to conduct luxury ‘castle tours’ of the United Kingdom and of Parliament. http://rcrusoe.com/jomneyCastleHoppingScotlandHosted.aspx?refPage=c7 Part of the ‘castle tours’ includes the following itinerary items: “Meet the 20th Earl of Caithness, Malcolm Ian Sinclair: Member of Parliament, Chief of Clan Sinclair, founder of the Clan Sinclair Trust, and overseer of the restoration of an incredible ancestral castle on the north Scottish coast.

“Then we’re off to Scotland. Edinburgh, first, for a visit to the Scottish Parliament accompanied by the Member* who represents Caithness and Sutherland, Lord Caithness’s ancestral turf. From our home base at The Balmoral Hotel, we day-trip outside the city limits to Hopetoun House, where —after a tour of their home— we take lunch with Lord and Lady Hopetoun...” Departures: 15 May 2010 Prices: Per person sharing room from $10,980 Internal air per person $260 The member who represents Caithness and Sutherland (and Easter Ross) is Viscount Thurso who was also a Member of the House of Lords until he stood for Parliament and is now known as John Thurso, M.P. He was also involved in the evasion of Capital Gains Tax as he, too, is a Trustee of the Clan Sinclair Charitable Trust which is under investigation by the OSCR (Organisation of Scottish Charity Regulators). It is clear from the foregoing that the Earl of Caithness is being employed by R. Crusoe solely because he is a member of the House of Lords and that he, Malcolm Caithness, is using that position to show his clients around the Houses of Parliament and to introduce them to such people as Lady Hayman and Lord Strathclyde. Last year Lord Caithness made claims on the public purse which came to £64,924. See attachment. Now he is aiming to add to that sum by showing well-heeled clients around the House of Lords privately and to give them lunch there. It is interesting to note from the Lords’ Hansard text for the 14th December, 2009 that Lord Caithness’s principal contribution to the debate was on the subject of expenses for (a) travelling and (b) for accommodation in London. See attachment. Until comparatively recently, his only accommodation was in London at which is less than 15 minutes from Westminster. Finally, by any criterion (whether written or otherwise) Lord Caithness’s arrangement with R. Crusoe & Son is a clear abuse of his privileged position. I trust action will now be taken to stop this further erosion of the parliamentary Code of Conduct for which your sub-Committee is responsible and which has become the subject of much public debate and concern in recent months.

founder of the Clan Sinclair Trust, and overseer of the restoration of an incredible ancestral castle on the north Scottish coast. The man does have a full plate.
Local Flavor Roman emperors who conquered much of Europe found the ancestors of the Scottish people too fiercely independent to be subdued. Today, in this land of rugged beauty, wind-swept mountains, and deep green valleys, aincent castles bring to mind legends of honor and passionate heroes. In the company of one such Scotsman, a Member of Parliament who traces his lineage back many centuries, we explore the north of Scotland in all her glory. Don’t miss this truly unique insider’s tour of London and Scotland.

The Lord Speaker, Lady Hayman, or the Leader of the Conservative Party, Lord Strathclyde, joins us for a chat. One simply cannot miss the recently renovated Churchill Museum and War Rooms. We take a private, before-hours tour in the company of the museum’s senior curator. On a specially arranged private visit, step inside the U.S. Embassy for a discussion of current British-American relations with embassy staffers.

we day-trip outside the city limits to Hopetoun House, where—after a tour of their home—we take lunch with Lord and Lady Hopetoun.
Then north to Perth, where Scone Palace has long played an important role in Scottish history. Scottish kings came here for their coronations, seated upon the Stone of Scone (now on display in Edinburgh Castle). During our visit, we take morning coffee with Lady Stormont, daughter-in-law of the present Earl and overseer of the residence.
Blair Castle, next, home of the dukes of Atholl. Once again, history runs deep at Blair. Hear stories of the castle's families, the Stewarts and the Murrays, whose 19 generations have just about done it all. At the end of our tour, sit down to lunch at the castle.
On to Inverness, capital of the Scottish Highlands. Nearby, on the very site of the Battle of Culloden, hear the story of the decisive showdown in 1746 between the Jacobites and the royalists.
Cawdor Castle was built as the private fortress of the Thanes of Cawdor (consider rereading Macbeth). A massive exterior belies the cozy rooms of this 600-yearold beauty. We hope to spend time with the Countess of Cawdor, while we're here.
No visit to the Highlands is complete without a lesson on uisgebeatha, the "water of life," Scotch whisky. Have a taste, and see how it's made, at Glenmorangie Distillery.
Ackergill Tower is our 15th-century home-away-fromhome for the remainder of the journey. Have dinner here with Lord Caithness's cousin, the Viscount Thurso, and his wife. The Viscount, a Member of Parliament, is the driving force behind northern Scotland's push for renewable energy.

Contrast the life of the farmer with that of Scottish royalty on a visit to a croft cottage and then to Castle Mey, ancient seat of the Sinclairs of Mey and, more recently, beloved home of the Queen Mother.
Finally, to Castle Sinclair Girnigoe, where Lord Caithness spends much of his time directly involved in the rescue of this castle complex from the ravages of time. Accompanied by Lord Caithness and Jonathon Clark, we take in views of the castle from a boat on Bay Sinclair, then tour the site itself. During our examination of the site, we hear about the archaeological discoveries already made as well as the preservation work currently being carried out.
Join Lord Caithness for a formal farewell dinner at Ackergill Tower. Don't bother packing your tux—the hotel supplies our kilts and sashes.
Post-Tour Possibilities in Scotland
Not quite done with Scotland yet? Who could blame you. We suggest that, following this once-in-a-lifetime tour, you continue on in one of two directions.
Love to golf? If so, play some of the world's finest courses. Gleneagles. Aberlady. St. Andrews. If one golfs, and other doesn't, don't despair. If touring is your thing, there is plenty to do and see in the local countryside.
Another possibility is a few utterly indulgent days aboard The Royal Scotsman, a 35-passenger OrientExpress train that winds through the Highlands. The onboard luxury is Edwardian through and through. We offer a two-night and a five-night departure, both leaving Edinburgh on Wednesday, 26 May 2010. All aboard!

Annex B: Letter from Rhoda Grant MSP to Michael Pownall, Clerk of the Parliaments, 24 May 2010 The Earl of Caithness Conservative Benches It has come to my attention that the Earl of Caithness, a member of the House of Lords and a working peer sitting on the Conservative benches, is allegedly involved in offering tours of the House of Lords in return for an exchange of money. Prospective purchasers are invited to pay over $10,000 for a tour of the UK hosted by the Earl, organised by R Crusoe & Sons, a well-known US firm. The tour includes: “a private tour of Parliament with Lord Caithness, who introduces us to several colleagues over lunch” and “a visit to the Scottish Parliament accompanied by the Member who represents Caithness and Sutherland, Lord Caithness’s ancestral turf.” I would be grateful if you could investigate this matter as a potential breach of the relevant rules to which peers must adhere.

Annex C: Letter from Paul Kernaghan, House of Lords Commissioner for Standards, to the Earl of Caithness, 10 June 2010 Allegation of a breach of the rules of the House I am writing to you in my capacity as the newly appointed Commissioner for Standards. I have to advise you that I have received two separate complaints against you but which both involve the same allegation. Namely, that you have breached the rules of the House by reason of your involvement in tours organised by R Crusoe & Sons, a travel company based in Chicago. One complainant [Rhoda Grant MSP] simply highlighted your connection with R Crusoe & Sons, whilst the other [Niven Sinclair] provided documentation supporting that contention. I attach copies of both complaints for your information. I am conscious that whilst my appointment is linked to the introduction of the current Code of Conduct which came into force on 18/5/10, I also have a specific remit to investigate complaints of misconduct going back four years. However, in investigating matters which predate 18/5/10, I must apply the relevant rules of the House and associated guidance available to Members at the time of the alleged breach. It appears on the basis of the complaints that you may have breached the following rules: Functions are not to be used for the purposes of direct or indirect financial or material gain by a sponsoring Member, political party, or any other person or outside organisation. (House Committee, 3rd Report of Session 2008-09, agreed by the House on 20th October 2009 with immediate effect); and Members may raise money for charity by offering private tours of the Palace but not for any other cause. (House Committee, 2nd Report, Session 2009-2010, agreed by the House on 16 March 2010 with immediate effect). In addition to the material provided by Niven Sinclair, I attach for your information and ease of reference copies of the following documents (not printed):

Therefore, I now invite you to respond in writing with a full and accurate account of the matters in question. A response by 1/7/10 would greatly assist me in investigating this matter in a timely fashion.
Annex D: Letter from the Earl of Caithness to Paul Kernaghan, House of Lords Commissioner for Standards, 27 June 2010 Allegation of a breach of the rules of the House Thank you for your letter of 10 June and I will co-operate fully in your investigation as it is very important to get this accurate. You doubtless saw the article in a recent Sunday Herald in which Rhoda Grant (whom I don’t know) said she would refer the matter to you. I do know Niven Sinclair well and for nearly two years he has done all he can to denigrate me. In June last summer I was invited to open the Scottish Highland Games in Chicago. Whilst there, I addressed the Chicago Council on Global Affairs about Parliament and UK/USA relations. At the small dinner afterwards I also talked about the heritage project I run for the charity, The Clan Sinclair Trust, in the north of Scotland and for which I have done a lot of fundraising in the USA. In August some friends raised the possibility of coming over here in mid May this year, specifically to see the heritage project and parts of Scotland. Naturally I encouraged them to do so as this would potentially be a good way to raise more money for the project. As it would be more convenient to fly to London and some might want to spend some time there, it was included in the trip and I offered to give them lunch in Parliament to reciprocate the kindness they had shown me when I was in Chicago. Without my knowledge they then appointed a travel agent in Chicago, as Americans so often do, who also used travel agents in London and Edinburgh to organise the itinerary. In order to make it a viable trip they wanted to expand the group to about twenty people which is why a brochure was produced by the travel agent. I wanted to help make the visit as interesting as possible for them so I arranged for a tour of Parliament through the Tours Office and a lunch was booked by the agent in London as your information from the Banqueting Office confirms. I also arranged for Jamie Stone, my MSP to meet them in the Parliament in Scotland and John Thurso, my MP, agreed to speak to them when they

2010
were in Caithness. I confirmed this to the main travel agents in Chicago. The rest of the programme was arranged by them. Given my friends’ interest in UK and international affairs I was asked whether I could arrange for a Peer to talk to them at the lunch here. My reply was that it would be almost impossible for anyone to commit themselves because I felt that it was likely to be just after the election. I explained that could happen at any time before June this year and if it was earlier then it might be possible. Some names were discussed but I did not approach anyone about this and I did not invite any other peers to attend the lunch. There was discussion about how much time I would spend with the group and I agreed to be with them most of the time. As a result it was agreed my accommodation outside of London would be paid and I would receive £500 per day for any day missed in Parliament. I have never asked for nor received any financial gain for taking guests to Parliament nor would I. No part of the cost of the trip was to be paid to the charity. If anyone wanted to donate to the charity, and there was no obligation to do so, that would be a separate matter at a later stage. I returned to Chicago in November, at my own expense, to talk more about the heritage project. The proposed visit was cancelled in January this year and no money was paid either to me or the charity. However two of my friends who wanted to come on the trip are coming over here shortly specifically to see the project but are not coming to Parliament. I recognise that the website of the travel agency could be construed by a reasonable person as suggesting that I had a financial interest linked to showing paying guests around the House of Lords. That was not the situation as I have explained and I never received, or anticipated receiving, any payment arising out of my use of Parliamentary facilities. The visit as advertised by the travel agency never took place and I reiterate my regret that its actions raised concerns about the proper use of House of Lords facilities. I apologise for not being more alert to the danger that third party action could project a false impression. I am very conscious of the need to uphold the highest standards of probity as a Member of the House of Lords and will take every possible step to ensure that no actions of mine in future give rise to similar concerns. I am happy and ready to discuss any of this with you.

PRIVILEGES AND CONDUCT COMMITTEE - 3RD REPORT 2010-12 THE CONDUCT OF BARONESS MORGAN OF HUYTON 1.
2.
The Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct has investigated allegations against Baroness Morgan of Huyton, which were originally made in a Channel 4 Television documentary, broadcast in March 2010. Following the allegations, Lady Morgan referred herself to the Sub-Committee; a complaint was subsequently received from a member of the public. The Sub-Committee’s report, and accompanying evidence, are printed with this Report. The Sub-Committee has dismissed the allegations against Baroness Morgan of Huyton, and we endorse this conclusion.
APPENDIX 1: REPORT FROM THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON LORDS’ CONDUCT The conduct of Baroness Morgan of Huyton: allegations by Channel 4 Television Summary 1. Channel 4 Television alleged that Baroness Morgan of Huyton had breached the 2001 Code of Conduct; the material with which they provided us raised a further issue of providing parliamentary services for reward which we felt important to investigate. After investigation, we find that Lady Morgan did not breach the Code of Conduct in any of these respects. The 2001 Code of Conduct 2. The Code of Conduct in force at the time of the alleged breaches was that adopted by resolution on 2 July 2001 (p1A). 1 Paragraph 4 of that Code reads (p1E): Personal conduct 4. Members of the House: (a) must comply with the Code of Conduct; (b) should act always on their personal honour;

27 Ju ly 2010 APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e – 3rd Report 2010 -12 (c) must never accept any financial inducement as an incentive or reward for exercising parliamentary influence;
(d) must not vote on any bill or motion, or ask any question in the House or a committee, or promote any matter, in return for payment or any other material benefit (the “no paid advocacy” rule).
The allegations 3. On 22 March 2010, Channel 4 Television broadcast an edition of Dispatches entitled Politicians for Hire. The programme, in collaboration with the Sunday Times newspaper’s Insight team, had pretended to establish a public relations consultancy which sought to recruit members of the two Houses to an advisory board. The only member of the House of Lords who appeared in the programme was Lady Morgan of Huyton. Channel 4 made two allegations about Lady Morgan’s conduct. 4. In the language of the Code of Conduct, the first allegation was that Lady Morgan was prepared to accept financial inducement as an incentive or reward for exercising parliamentary influence (paragraph 4(c) of the Code) and so failed to act always on her personal honour (paragraph 4(b) of the Code). 5. The second allegation was that Lady Morgan a) may have asked a question in the House in return for financial inducement; and b) that she failed to declare a relevant interest when taking part in that debate. On 2 April 2009, Lady Morgan intervened during an oral question about diabetes tabled by Lord Harrison to ask “My Lords, are there any specific plans for dealing with diabetes in children, which is a growing problem and one that the health service at the moment sometimes overlooks?” 1 without declaring her interest as a member of an advisory panel for Lloydspharmacy, a subsidiary of Celesio AG. Lady Morgan had registered that interest as regular remunerated employment (category 12(f)). 6. The second allegation, together with the transcript related to the first allegation, raised in our mind a further and more serious question (not raised by Channel 4), namely whether Lady Morgan had provided prohibited parliamentary services to Lloydspharmacy and potentially other interests; and whether she had breached the Code in other respects in relation to that or other interests. 7. Lady Morgan referred her own conduct to the Sub-Committee in advance of the initial broadcast (p18B). A member of the public also complained about Lady Morgan’s conduct in the light of the broadcast programme (p18J). Evidence 8. After a little delay, Channel 4 Television provided the Sub-Committee with the records on which their broadcast was based: covert recordings of a telephone conversation and an interview with Lady Morgan together with a transcript. The conversation and interview were conducted by a journalist, Claire Newell, pretending to be “Claire Webster”, the London agent of an (fictitious) American public relations firm called Anderson Perry. A vertical line in the margin of the transcript indicates a passage which was broadcast in the Dispatches programme (e.g. p6F). The officers of the Sub-Committee corresponded with Lady Morgan. We recommend that the transcript and correspondence be published.

Interpretation of the Code: precedent 9. The Report from the Committee for Privileges on the conduct of Lord Moonie, Lord Snape, Lord Truscott and Lord Taylor of Blackburn 1 (referred to hereafter as “the conduct report”) provides much precedent on the interpretation of the relevant passages of the 2001 Code of Conduct. It is necessary to set out the most relevant passages 2: Report from the Committee for Privileges Summary 35. In summary, we invite the House to endorse the following conclusions on the meaning of the Code of Conduct: •
Paragraph 4(c) of the Code of Conduct describes one of the overarching principles governing Members’ conduct—that they must not exercise parliamentary influence, directly or indirectly, in return for financial inducement. Paragraph 4(d), the “no paid advocacy” rule, describes a specific application of this overarching principle; any breach of paragraph 4(d) is by definition also a breach of paragraph 4(c).
•
An agreement to act in breach of either paragraph 4(c) or 4(d) of the Code, is in itself a breach of paragraph 4(c), regardless of whether money changes hands or services are actually provided.
•
Members who express a clear willingness to breach the Code of Conduct thereby demonstrate a failure of “personal honour”, and are thus in breach of paragraph 4(b) of the Code.
•
Members who have interests falling under paragraph 12 (a) or (c) of the Code should not seek in any way to exercise parliamentary influence so as to benefit these interests. To do so would constitute a breach of paragraph 4(c). Entrapment 14. Despite these concerns, we conclude that it would not be appropriate to disregard any of the evidence by reason only of the manner in which it was obtained. We consider that the Sub-Committee were right to reject suggestions that they should not rely on some of the evidence, on the ground that it had been obtained by agents provocateurs. In our judgment, the integrity of the proceedings themselves—either before us or before the Sub-Committee—has in no sense been compromised by the conduct of the journalists in obtaining the evidence, which in our view did not amount to incitement to or instigation of a breach of the Code. It is the strength of the evidence itself which we regard as important for the purposes of our proceedings. Financial inducement and personal honour 23. We agree with the Sub-Committee’s interpretation: paragraph 4(c) refers to “financial inducement”, and an “inducement” can exert a powerful influence without money having to change hands. It follows that if an agreement is reached, to provide certain services in return for a fee, that agreement is in itself an “acceptance of financial inducement”. Given the relationship between paragraphs 4(c) and 4(d), it must also follow that an agreement to engage in paid advocacy, contrary to paragraph 4(d), would also constitute a breach of paragraph 4(c), even if the Member concerned never actually, by voting, speaking or otherwise fulfilling this agreement, breached paragraph 4(d) itself. 24. However, we acknowledge that this reasoning leaves open the question of exactly how formal such an “agreement” must be for a breach of paragraph 4(c) to occur. In the event, neither the Sub-Committee nor we ourselves have found it necessary to resolve this question in the current cases.

Committee for Privileges, 2nd Report, session 2008-09 (HL Paper 88), agreed to by the House on 20 May 2009. 2 Several of the headings are our own.
274
27 Ju ly 2010 APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e – 3rd Report 2010 -12 25. The other limb of paragraph 65 is the Sub-Committee’s statement that “in negotiating or attempting to negotiate” such an agreement, even if no such agreement is finally reached, a Member would “have failed to act on his personal honour”, so breaching paragraph 4(b) of the Code. 26. This is a crucial point, particularly in the context of the current cases, where no money changed hands, no services were provided, and no contracts were signed. Here too we are in complete agreement with the Sub-Committee. 30. The purpose of the Code of Conduct, which was agreed by the House by Resolution in July 2001, is set out in paragraph 1: “to provide guidance for Members of the House of Lords on the standards of conduct expected of them in the discharge of their parliamentary and public duties”. It follows, in our view, that any Member who demonstrated a clear willingness to breach the rules contained in the Code (for instance, by attempting to negotiate an agreement to promote an amendment in return for a fee) would have failed to act upon his or her personal honour, and would have thereby breached paragraph 4(b) of the Code. Provision of parliamentary advice and services (categories 12(a) and 12(b)) 32. The Sub-Committee state that where Members have interests falling under one of these categories, they are “restricted in their parliamentary activities to providing advice”; any attempt to exercise parliamentary influence would necessarily be perceived to be a breach of the no paid advocacy rule, as “it is impossible to prove that [the Member] is not being paid specifically to exercise his parliamentary influence for the benefit of those paying him” (paragraph 56). [33.] We fully endorse this interpretation, which is consistent with the longstanding practice of the House. Report from the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Interests Parliamentary influence 49. We understand “exercising parliamentary influence” to mean exercising influence in and over Parliament by virtue of membership of Parliament. It is not necessary for the purposes of determining these complaints to decide whether the expression has any wider meaning. Parliamentary influence should only be exercised in the public interest, which paragraph 6 of the Code insists must come first. Members of the House of Lords should never accept financial inducements, incentives or rewards from any individual or body to exercise parliamentary influence in the interests of that individual or body alone (for example, a particular retailer in the retail industry), or in the interests of a wider group which includes that individual or body (for example, the retail industry generally), even if they believe such action to be in the public interest. A Member who did so would breach the no-paid-advocacy rule. 50. The distinction between receiving a financial inducement to influence the parliamentary process and having a financial interest as a result of employment or otherwise in a particular area is essential to understanding the no-paid-advocacy rule. Parliamentary advice and services 56. Where a Member of the House of Lords has a financial interest that arises from his membership of the House, as is the case with interests under paragraphs 12(a) and 12(c), it is impossible to prove that he is not being paid specifically to exercise his parliamentary influence for the benefit of those paying him, thereby breaching the nopaid-advocacy rule. Members who hold an arrangement under paragraph 12(a) or 12(c) are therefore restricted in their parliamentary activities to providing advice and never advocacy. 57. Where a Member has an interest in a firm that offers commercial lobbying, paragraph 12(b) of the Code prevents him from participating in parliamentary business relating to his personal clients. This is for the reason set out in paragraph 56, namely, that it would be impossible to prove that he was not exercising his parliamentary influence on behalf of those clients. But a Member involved with such a firm is not disqualified from taking part in parliamentary business relating to the firm’s other clients, with whom he has no direct connection, because there can be no suggestion of paid advocacy. 60. Examples of what is permitted and what is prohibited were given to the Committee
2010
27 Ju ly APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e – 3rd Report 2010 -12 on Standards in Public Life by a previous Clerk of the Parliaments. Although the Clerk was speaking in the context of the House’s rules of November 1995, what he said remains in our view applicable to the present Code. He said: “A parliamentary consultancy is an arrangement reflecting a two-way relationship. On the one hand the client/firm receives information from the employee/peer (A below); and on the other hand, the peer is given instructions to undertake certain activities in Parliament in the interests of the client (B below). (A) The information which the client might expect to receive would include:
275
•
information about the progress of legislation
•
information about debates and opinions expressed in the House which might be of interest to the client
•
information as to which members of the House might be sympathetic to the interests of the client
•
indications as to which are the appropriate Ministers to approach for purposes of furthering the interests of the client and how such approaches might be made. (B) The services which the peer might be expected to perform on behalf of the clients might include: •
speaking in debates
•
tabling, supporting and moving amendments
•
asking Parliamentary Questions
•
lobbying Ministers and other members of the House
• acting as host at functions in the Palace of Westminster.” 61. The Clerk of the Parliaments said that a Member of the House was entitled to give advice as set out at (A); but was debarred from carrying out the services set out at (B). 62. A helpful rule of thumb was given by Lord Griffiths to the Committee on Standards in Public Life in the same inquiry: “There is no reason why you should not have a consultancy. However, if you have taken a position as a consultant, you cannot speak for your clients; you cannot lobby on behalf of your clients, nor can you act politically for your clients ... You can say, ‘Well, I think we might get that amendment through’. But, what you cannot do is take any part in helping to get the amendment through.” 63. We have concluded that it is consistent with the Code for Members of the House, in return for payment, to approach other Members, MPs, Ministers, officials and civil servants to gain information. But it is not consistent with the Code for Members to seek to influence such people themselves in return for payment, including to ‘soften up’ such individuals for a later approach by a client or his representatives, or to make introductions. 64. The distinction between advocacy and advice is crucial. Inevitably, however, there are borderline issues. These may place too great a burden on the judgment of the individual Member and may lead him to cross the boundary between what is legitimate and what is not. Members willing to take money in return for parliamentary services place themselves in great danger of crossing the boundary, knowingly or inadvertently. Even when a Member’s intention is limited to obtaining information, the very fact of approaching, on behalf of paying clients, MPs, other Lords, Ministers and civil servants, may give rise to a perception of advocacy and lobbying. The impression can easily be given that not only advice but also advocacy has been bought by the client. Whether or not a Member has indeed crossed the boundary from the permissible depends on the facts of each case.

Commentary Entrapment 10. In the conduct report, the Committee for Privileges took the view that “it would not be appropriate to disregard any of the evidence by reason only of the manner in which it was obtained” 1. The covert recordings of a telephone conversation and an interview with Lady Morgan are admissible. The Code of Conduct and its provisions 11. The first question is whether Lady Morgan breached the Code of Conduct in her interview with “Anderson Perry”. 12. At several points in the transcript, Lady Morgan makes clear that there is a Code of Conduct and that it restricts what she is allowed to do (p10J; p12K; p17A): Ms Webster: Yes, and is that something you would be able to help us with, get, be able to, I don’t know, touch base with, either ministers or civil servants? Baroness Morgan of Huyton: Yeah I mean obviously in the, you need to be careful, I mean you’ll get the same answer from anybody who’s, who’s in the Lords or in the Commons, but I don’t, I mean I presume it’s only, you don’t want to use MPs I would think on the whole. Ms Webster: No. Baroness Morgan of Huyton: No, it’s too close you know. As a peer you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to be careful that you’re not lobbying, so there’s a kind of, there’s codes . Ms Webster: Oh right. Baroness Morgan of Huyton: that you have to, you know, so in a sense it’s, you can make, what I, I mean how do I describe it? I mean I can have conversations with people without pushing my client necessarily, but I can push a direction of travel on policy, I can find out what’s happening, I can, I can, I can, I certainly with Lloyds, for example, I remember saying, I mean I got Lloyds round the table in terms of policy discussions, but only by, but in a sense being very clear, by being completely upfront that I’m on their advisory committee, and I think this guy’s good, but you may want somebody from Boots instead, but it’s really important pharmacies are represented round your table for these discussions. So I’m, I’m, I mean I am very careful you know, in a sense, because I mean some people are less careful, if you like, than I am, but I think in the end that’s foolish, because actually that can be damaging to clients as well as anything else. ... Ms Webster: And would you be willing to speak to people on our behalf, though I know you said you had to be careful about doing that? Baroness Morgan of Huyton: Yes, yes, I, I would, I mean, you know, look I would, what I would do, I mean if, and as I say, I think, if you want any politician, any peers involved I would guess everybody would say the same to you, or if they don’t they’re foolish. You know, in a sense I would give you the code and say this is what I can do and this is what I can’t do and then we all know where we are. And in a sense my view is, I do anything as long as I’m transparent, reasonably transparent about it. ... Baroness Morgan of Huyton: ... you may come to the view that you want somebody who can lobby in a more traditional sense, and I suppose I’m just anxious that you, that you’re clear that I can’t do that.
13. In the light of the Committee for Privileges’ view in the conduct report that: 1

2010
27 Ju ly APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e – 3rd Report 2010 -12 32.

[33.] We fully endorse this interpretation, which is consistent with the longstanding practice of the House.
277
and the Sub-Committee’s view that: [57.] Where a Member has an interest in a firm that offers commercial lobbying, paragraph 12(b) of the Code prevents him from participating in parliamentary business relating to his personal clients. This is for the reason ... that it would be impossible to prove that he was not exercising his parliamentary influence on behalf of those clients. 1
we find that Lady Morgan was correct that the provision of parliamentary advice was acceptable, but influencing Parliament was not (p14D; p14H): Ms Webster: And also which, what piece of legislation’s coming up. Baroness Morgan of Huyton: Oh that’s, I mean that’s, that’s very straightforward, yeah, that’s very straightforward. Ms Webster: Because if you know this piece of legislation is coming up, then it’s much easier for you to be able to start trying to influence it, bluntly. Baroness Morgan of Huyton: Absolutely, absolutely, and there’s very little, I mean I don’t think, there is no reason to presume that any of the sort of leading civil servants will change ... Baroness Morgan of Huyton: ... what I categorically could never do, and, you know, nor could anybody else, is suggest that we would influence, that I could influence, that I could influence legislation on behalf of a client, because that’s, you know, absolutely a no. But in terms of saying to your clients, this is the legislation that’s coming down.
14. We also find however that Lady Morgan was wrong that she could speak in debates related to her clients’ interests if she had been providing those clients with parliamentary advice (p14K): Baroness Morgan of Huyton: ... But there’s no problems speaking, you know, there’s no problem speaking, I mean basically, you know, there’s an accepted view, that you, unlike the House of Commons, being in the House of Lords is obviously a part time job, therefore there’s an expectation you’re bringing knowledge from outside in
15. In the light of our view that: [63.] it is consistent with the Code for Members of the House, in return for payment, to approach other Members, MPs, Ministers, officials and civil servants to gain information. But it is not consistent with the Code for Members to seek to influence such people themselves in return for payment, including to ‘soften up’ such individuals for a later approach by a client or his representatives, or to make introductions
we find that Lady Morgan was also wrong that she could in any circumstances approach ministers, special advisers or civil servants on behalf of an outside interest (p13A): Ms Webster: So what things, I’m not really familiar with the code, but what things would you be able to do? Would you, for instance, be able to, I don’t know, if we said, oh, we need to be speak to this minister, would you be able to contact them and say, look these guys would like to meet you to discuss this? Is that something you’d feel comfortable with that, or? Baroness Morgan of Huyton: I think you can, I think you can do that. I mean I think you have to choose your time and not do it very often, I mean for me or anybody else 1
Note: a different principle from this is set out in paragraphs 23 to 30 of the new Guide to the Code of Conduct (the “exclusive benefit” principle).
278
27 Ju ly 2010 APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e – 3rd Report 2010 -12 actually, so in a sense you need to. Ms Webster: Can’t be always on the phone. Baroness Morgan of Huyton: You get, you almost get one chance to really pitch your stuff and very often the better person to talk to is a special advisor Ms Webster: Right Baroness Morgan of Huyton: and have some initial meetings and get some feedback. Ms Webster: Right. So you’d be able to contact them? Baroness Morgan of Huyton: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Agreement 16. The Committee for Privileges found that: [35.] An agreement to act in breach of either paragraph 4(c) or 4(d) of the Code, is in itself a breach of paragraph 4(c), regardless of whether money changes hands or services are actually provided.
17. We find that Lady Morgan’s interview, while indicative of the areas and ways in which she would be prepared to work, did not amount to an agreement to provide services. Indeed her statement that (p12L): Baroness Morgan of Huyton: ... I would give you the code and say this is what I can do and this is what I can’t do and then we all know where we are.
suggests that Lady Morgan would have studied the Code before entering into any contract with Anderson Perry. Lady Morgan’s conduct was that of a person keen not to deter a new and possibly lucrative client but also conscious of the Code and the need to ensure that her client was also aware of the Code. Conclusion 18. In relation to her interview with “Claire Webster” of “Anderson Perry”, Lady Morgan’s understanding of the Code of Conduct was imperfect. She was wrong to suggest that she could speak in debates related to her clients’ interests if she had been providing those clients with parliamentary advice; and wrong to suggest that she could in any circumstances approach ministers, special advisers or civil servants for anything other than information. All members should have a better understanding of the rules than that which Lady Morgan exhibited in this transcript. 19. We find however that Lady Morgan did not breach the 2001 Code of Conduct in her interview with “Claire Webster”. First, it did not amount to an agreement to breach the 2001 Code of Conduct; and secondly, despite her imperfect understanding of its provision, she made clear that the Code of Conduct existed and that she would be bound by its provision in any agreement. The second allegation: Lloydspharmacy: parliamentary services and declaration of interest 20. The second allegation made by Channel 4 was that Lady Morgan a) asked a question in the House in return for financial inducement; and b) that she failed to declare a relevant interest when taking part in that debate. On 2 April 2009, Lady Morgan intervened during an oral question about diabetes tabled by Lord Harrison. She asked “My Lords, are there any specific plans for dealing with diabetes in children, which is a growing problem and one that the health service at the moment sometimes overlooks?”1 without declaring her interest as a member of an advisory panel for Lloydspharmacy, a

subsidiary of Celesio AG 1. Lady Morgan had registered that interest as regular remunerated employment (then category 12(f)). 21. In correspondence, Lady Morgan says that a) Lloydspharmacy did not ask her to ask the question and indeed had no interest in it; Lady Thornton, then a Government Whip, had invited her to intervene in the debate and Lady Morgan had agreed to do so because the topic interested her (p27K); and b) she had no interest to declare because the question did not relate to pharmacies and Lloydspharmacy does not offer diabetes testing to under 18s (p28C). 22. Lady Morgan did not breach the 2001 Code of Conduct in her intervention in this oral question. A third issue: parliamentary services 23. Lady Morgan’s comments in the transcript raised in our minds a further issue, not mentioned by Channel 4 Television, namely whether she had provided parliamentary services to the bodies in which she had financial interests, something prohibited by the Code of Conduct. Lady Morgan’s registered interests 24. At the end of the last Parliament, Lady Morgan’s registered interests were as follows: 12(d) Non-parliamentary consultant Four days’ consultancy work for Acorn Care 4 Limited (invoiced February 2010) 12(e) Remunerated directorships Non-executive Director of Carphone Warehouse Non-executive Director of Southern Cross Healthcare Group plc 12(f) Regular remunerated employment Member of Advisory Panel for Lloyds pharmacy which is a subsidiary of Celesio AG Member of Advisory Panel for Humana Europe 2 Advisor to the Board of the charity ARK (Absolute Return for Kids) 15(a) Membership of public bodies Board, Olympic Delivery Authority 15(d) Office-holder in voluntary organisations Chair, “Future Leaders” charity (headteacher training) Member, Advisory Board of Centre for Human Rights, Institute of Education Trustee of Mayor’s Fund for London Board Member, ‘Teaching Leaders’ 16(b) Voluntary organisations Membership of Labour Party and GMB Trade Union
25. The Sub-Committee, in interpreting the 2001 Code in the conduct report, said: [63.] it is consistent with the Code for Members of the House, in return for payment, to approach other Members, MPs, Ministers, officials and civil servants to gain information. But it is not consistent with the Code for Members to seek to influence such people themselves in return for payment, including to ‘soften up’ such individuals for a later approach by a client or his representatives, or to make introductions.
26. In her interview with “Claire Webster”, Lady Morgan said (p8B): 1
Lady Morgan has spoken about healthcare on one other occasion: in a debate on a European Union Committee report on increasing the supply of donor organs (HL Deb 14 November 2008 col 836). She did not declare an interest on that occasion either. 2 Humana Europe is a company which provides healthcare commissioning services to the NHS.

27. This would appear to be a breach of paragraph 4(c) of the Code as interpreted by paragraph 63 of the Sub-Committee’s report. 28. However, in correspondence Lady Morgan explained her position as follows (p25H): The background to this comment was this: Two or three years ago I was invited by a senior civil servant to have a confidential and wide-ranging conversation about health service reform and other issues. The invitation was certainly not prompted by my membership of the House of Lords. Nor did the invitation have any connection to my role in LP. LP was unaware of the fact of my meeting, either before or after the meeting took place. In the course of the discussion with the official I observed that I thought community pharmacies could play a useful role in the provision of a reformed and cost-effective system of primary care. I also mentioned that it could be sensible to have a community pharmacist involved in the Heath Service review such as the Chief Pharmacist at LP or Alliance Boots. I know that the official concerned knew of my involvement in LP. Nevertheless, having made this comment specifically I reminded the official of my involvement with LPHAP to ensure that there could be no suggestion that my remarks were prompted by an undisclosed improper motive. I was aware that I was under an obligation to declare my interest pursuant to paragraph 8(b) of the Code of Conduct, (31st March 2002). It is important to stress that I had not instigated the conversation with the civil servant. I had not been asked by LP to have a conversation or to raise this issue with government. I was not asked by the company to make any representations to government. Nor did LP apply any pressure or encouragement, whether subtly or impliedly, to make any representations to government on their behalf or on behalf of the industry. My advice was intended solely to help strengthen the government’s health reforms. I was not seeking to assist LP or the pharmacy industry.
29. We considered it important to know the identity of the senior civil servant, to add credibility to Lady Morgan’s account. In further correspondence, she identified him by name and position. We are not responsible for civil service conduct but we see no reason for criticism of his conduct. 30. Lady Morgan did not breach the 2001 Code of Conduct in her conversation with the senior civil servant. 31. We also invited Lady Morgan to set out what advice and services she had provided to the other organisations in which she held a financial interest. Lady Morgan set out the nature of her interests without mentioning parliamentary services (p26B) and confirmed that she had not provided any of the prohibited services in return for reward (p26K). We accept her account. Conclusion 32. Lady Morgan did not breach the 2001 Code of Conduct in relation to any of the current allegations. In the light of the publicity surrounding the allegations, we recommend that this report be made to the House for information.

Law Commission Bills On 3 April 2008 the House agreed, on a trial basis, to proposals from the then Leader of the House, Baroness Ashton of Upholland, for new procedures for handling Law Commission bills. 1 These procedures, set out in full in our earlier report, and summarised in the recent revision of the Companion to the Standing Orders, 2 were to be followed initially in respect of not more than two such bills. This Committee was then to review the procedures, before making final recommendations on whether or not they should be made permanent. The new procedures have now been trialled in respect of two bills, both of which duly received Royal Assent: the Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 2009 and the Third Parties (Rights Against Insurers) Act 2010. In accordance with the House’s decision in 2008, the Leader of the House has therefore invited us to review the procedure. The Chief Executive of the Law Commission, Mr Mark Ormerod has confirmed that the Law Commission fully supports making the procedures permanent. Moreover, the former Chairman of the Constitution Committee, Lord Goodlad, wrote to the Chairman of Committees on 18 December 2009, reporting the Constitution Committee’s view that the new procedures had worked well and had helped to clear the backlog of Law Commission bills. The Leader of the House has therefore invited us to recommend to the House that the procedures for scrutinising Law Commission bills set out in our earlier report should be adopted permanently. He has also invited us to confirm that Law Commission bills originating in the work of the Scottish Law Commission are in principle also eligible for the new procedure, on the same terms and subject to the same safeguards—a point not covered in our earlier report. We recommend that the procedure for scrutinising Law Commission bills, adopted on a trial basis in April 2008, should be adopted permanently. If this recommendation is accepted, we further confirm that Law Commission bills originating in the work of the Scottish Law Commission will also be eligible for the new procedure.

PRIVILEGES AND CONDUCT COMMITTEE - 4TH REPORT 2010-12 THE CONDUCT OF LORD PAUL
1. 2.

Introduction The Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct has investigated the conduct of Lord Paul. The Sub-Committee’s report is printed as an Appendix to this Report. The Sub-Committee’s investigation into the conduct of Lord Paul should be read in parallel with its investigations in the conduct of Lord Bhatia and Baroness Uddin. All three cases arise out of articles originally appearing in The Sunday Times, and each raises similar issues. Each of the Sub-Committee’s reports contains similar background analysis (for instance, of the rules governing the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme 1). But, however similar the issues, the facts of each case are wholly distinct and have required separate consideration. The Sub-Committee, and we ourselves, have therefore prepared three separate reports. Process The process followed in this case is summarised in paragraphs 5–6 of the SubCommittee’s report. The original allegations against Lord Paul appeared on 11 October 2009; a complaint was made the same day by Angus Robertson MP. The initial investigation was conducted by the Clerk of the Parliaments as Accounting Officer, but was then suspended while a separate investigation was conducted by the Metropolitan Police Service. On 3 March 2010 the Metropolitan Police Service notified the Clerk of the Parliaments that a decision had been made “to not proceed with the investigation at this time”. The Clerk of the Parliaments resumed his own investigation, and on 5 March asked the SubCommittee “to investigate and determine the facts of the case”.
All references in this Report to the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme refer to the Scheme that applied up until 30 September 2010. As a result of a motion agreed by the House on 20 July 2010, the day subsistence, night subsistence and office costs elements within the Scheme were combined in a new daily allowance, with effect from 1 October 2010.

The procedure in these cases follows that agreed by the House in December 2008 1, whereby the Clerk of the Parliaments can request the assistance of the Sub-Committee in investigating complaints which he considers “complex or serious”. As a Sub-Committee of the Committee for Privileges and Conduct, the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct normally reports to the parent Committee. But, as this case was referred to the Sub-Committee by the Clerk of the Parliaments, the Sub-Committee reported to the Clerk of the Parliaments. He, given the nature of the sanctions recommended by the Sub-Committee, forwarded the report in turn to this Committee. The Sub-Committee, following an investigation which had been interrupted by the dissolution of Parliament, sent its report to the Clerk of the Parliaments on 28 July. The Sub-Committee also recommended that, in order to preserve confidentiality, the Clerk of the Parliaments should not disclose the report to any other person until late in the summer recess. He accordingly forwarded the report to the staff of this Committee in late September, and a copy was at once sent to Lord Paul, on 21 September. He was at the same time notified of his right to appeal against the Sub-Committee’s findings to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. He submitted his appeal on 29 September, also indicating his wish to appear in person before the Select Committee at its meeting on 11 October. Although the Sub-Committee’s report was forwarded to this Committee in its entirety, certain matters covered in it relate to the administration of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme (for instance, the changes which the SubCommittee indicates were made to the Scheme in April 2009, referred to in paragraphs 20 and 42–43 of the Sub-Committee’s report), rather than to the privileges of the House or the Code of Conduct. It is for the House Committee, as the body responsible for the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme, to take forward these matters, on which we make no recommendations. Our responsibility is to address the conduct of Members who are alleged to have breached rules agreed by the House, and, where appropriate, to recommend sanctions to the House as a whole. The House has previously resolved that it “possesses the same disciplinary powers in respect of breaches of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme as in respect of breaches of the Code of Conduct or of other rules of conduct adopted by the House”. 2 It is a Member’s responsibility to ensure that claims for expenses are properly made, which includes an obligation to take reasonable steps to ensure that amounts being claimed are properly payable under the Scheme and that information provided in connection with claims is complete and accurate. A Member who makes a claim without taking such steps may be found to be liable to sanction by the House. The Sub-Committee’s findings The focus of the investigation has been Lord Paul’s use of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme from late 2005 onwards. In particular, the SubCommittee considered whether during this period Lord Paul correctly designated two successive properties (until the end of July 2006, The Cottage, Bignell Park Hotel, Chesterton, Oxfordshire, and from August 2006 The Grange,

Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire) as his “main residence” for the purposes of the Scheme. Notwithstanding its name, the Oxfordshire property is a one-bedroom flat in the Bignell Park Hotel, which is owned by Lord Paul’s company, Caparo Holdings. The minimum requirement endorsed by the House Committee for determining whether a property could be designated as a Member’s “main residence” under the Scheme is the requirement that it be visited for a minimum of one weekend per month over the year when the House was sitting and for periods during recesses. The Sub-Committee interpreted the term “visit” in this context as requiring an overnight stay. Lord Paul has freely admitted that he never spent a night at The Cottage. The Sub-Committee therefore concluded that Lord Paul wrongly designated The Cottage as his main residence. The Grange in Buckinghamshire is a family home, which Lord Paul contracted to buy in March 2006, designating it as his main residence in August of that year. Since that time Lord Paul has regularly spent weekends at The Grange, and the Sub-Committee accepted that Lord Paul’s designation of The Grange as his main residence through the period in question met the minimum requirement endorsed by the House Committee. As a result of his designation of the Oxfordshire property as his “main residence”, Lord Paul was able to claim sums under two separate headings within the Scheme. He claimed night subsistence in respect of overnight accommodation in London while away from his “main residence”; he also claimed travel expenses in respect of journeys between his “main residence” and Westminster. Immediately after the original allegations appeared, Lord Paul referred himself to the Clerk of the Parliaments for investigation, and at an early stage in this investigation he offered to repay any money wrongly claimed. With the assistance of the Finance Department, Lord Paul calculated that he had claimed £41,982 in night subsistence and travel expenses over the period from January 2005 (when he first designated The Cottage as his main residence) to July 2006. He repaid this sum (a greater sum than the House could have required him to repay, given that the investigation was only able to go back four years, to 11 October 2005) to the House in late 2009; there is no further money owing to the House. As the Sub-Committee acknowledged, as well as repaying the money Lord Paul has also apologised, in his oral evidence, for his mistake in wrongly designating the Oxfordshire property and claiming money on that basis (Q 150, p 103). At no stage since he was first contacted by The Sunday Times has Lord Paul claimed that he ever spent a night in The Cottage. Thus far there is broad agreement between the Sub-Committee and Lord Paul. The difficulties in this case arise in determining the third issue addressed by the Sub-Committee, namely whether, given that the Oxfordshire property was wrongly designated, Lord Paul acted in good faith in making his designation and claims. The Sub-Committee’s view was that Lord Paul did not act in good faith. The Sub-Committee stated that “no reasonable person could hold Lord Paul’s understanding of ‘main residence’ in relation to the scheme”. The SubCommittee therefore concluded “that Lord Paul’s designation of the Oxfordshire property was a deliberate misrepresentation of his domestic arrangements made with the intention of enabling Lord Paul to make use of the night subsistence

2010
element of the members’ reimbursement scheme” (paragraphs 57-58). With respect to travel expenses, the Sub-Committee concluded that “Lord Paul made the claims for the mileage allowance for journeys by car from and to the Oxfordshire property with the intention of adding verisimilitude to his designation of that property as his main residence” (paragraph 60). On the basis of these conclusions, the Sub-Committee’s recommendation was “that the House sanction Lord Paul by requiring him to make a personal statement of apology to the House and thereafter suspending him from the service of the House for six months.” (paragraph 63). Lord Paul’s appeal Lord Paul has appealed against the Sub-Committee’s findings only on the third issue, namely that he acted in bad faith. He states that, given his apology, his cooperation with the investigation, and his prompt repayment of the money, the Sub-Committee’s sanction is based solely upon the finding that he acted in bad faith. Lord Paul points to the absence of guidance during the period in question as to the meaning of “main residence”; to his prompt and voluntary repayment of the amount wrongly claimed and subsequent co-operation with the investigation; and to his apology. He maintains that in the absence of an agreed definition of “main residence”, and given his cultural background, his interpretation was at the time a reasonable one; he further states that even if his interpretation were to be found to be “unreasonable”, this would be a “wholly inadequate basis” for the Sub-Committee’s finding that he acted in bad faith, or engaged in “deliberate misrepresentation”. Finally, he compares his case with that of Lord Clarke of Hampstead (as indeed does the Sub-Committee at paragraph 62), from whom only an apology was required, and argues that he is being treated harshly in comparison. He asserts that “there are a number of [other cases], involving in some cases much greater amounts of money, which have I believe not even been investigated”. Lord Paul appeared before the Select Committee on 11 October 2010. A full transcript of his evidence is printed in this volume (see p 110). The essence of his appeal is set out in his opening statement: “The basic facts are not in dispute. I made claims which, with the benefit of hindsight, I should not have made. For that I apologise. As soon as I appreciated my error, I volunteered and made repayments. I never pretended to anyone that, in the event, I spent nights at the property in question. It was, however, a residential property of mine that was available to me. It is all a matter of interpretation as to what constitutes a main home—a matter of interpretation that may differ between persons with, for example, different cultural backgrounds. I am now one of those who disagrees with my interpretation at the time both in relation to the main residence and in relation to the journeys. But I most steadfastly maintain that these were entirely honest interpretations on my part.” (Q 2) The views of the Committee We agree with Lord Paul that the Sub-Committee’s finding that he acted in bad faith is the key issue in the appeal and in the Sub-Committee’s report. There is no question that Lord Paul should not have designated The Cottage as his main

333
residence, and that he was wrong to claim night subsistence and mileage allowances in respect of that property. Thus Lord Paul’s motivation lies at the heart of the case and his Appeal. The Sub-Committee’s analysis of his motivation is set out in paragraphs 54–58 of the report. The key conclusions are as follows: 57. Even if Lord Paul’s definition of “residence” were reasonable, his lack of regard to “main” is unreasonable. We consider that no reasonable person could hold Lord Paul’s understanding of “main residence” in relation to the scheme. 58. We find that Lord Paul’s designation of the Oxfordshire property was a deliberate misrepresentation of his domestic arrangements made with the intention of enabling Lord Paul to make use of the night subsistence element of the members’ reimbursement scheme. In oral evidence before us, Lord Paul repeated his claim that “I genuinely believe that a place that is available to me for living is my residence” (Q 7). Such an understanding essentially empties the term of meaning. Nevertheless, Lord Paul went so far as to apply this understanding even to his current “main residence” in Buckinghamshire, which the Sub-Committee, and we, accept satisfies the minimum criteria for designation: “I still do not consider in real terms that my house in Beaconsfield is a main residence. To me, it is a place where I love to go whenever I can and I like to spend time with my children and grandchildren, but I do not differentiate between my London home and that residence.” (Q 7) If this were true, it would seem that Lord Paul’s designation of one or other residence as his “main residence”, properly or improperly, is a matter largely of chance. Lord Paul explained his interpretation of the term “main residence” by reference to his cultural background. He insisted that “anyone coming out of India would not understand what main residence means” (Q 8). He accepted that he had “not once” looked at the guidance on the back of the claim forms (Q 22). Yet he clearly had a good understanding of domiciliary status (QQ 11–17). In summary, Lord Paul’s understanding of the term “main residence” is barely an understanding at all; it demonstrates rather a continuing failure to understand that the term has any specific meaning that may be applied to his personal circumstances. We therefore endorse the Sub-Committee’s conclusion that “no reasonable person could hold Lord Paul’s understanding of ‘main residence’ in relation to the scheme”. The Sub-Committee’s further conclusion that Lord Paul’s designation of the Oxfordshire property as his main residence must have been done in bad faith is entirely understandable. We therefore dismiss his appeal, except to the extent indicated below. It is our responsibility, in reviewing the Sub-Committee’s findings, not only to consider specific grounds of appeal, but to “decide whether, on the balance of probabilities, we endorse the conclusions of the Sub-Committee”.1 On this occasion we have borne in mind, on the one hand, the fact that Lord Paul’s definition of “main residence” was and is inherently unreasonable, and that, as a Member of the House and a successful businessman, he must be presumed to act as a reasonable person. On the other hand, we are aware that he has at no stage since the allegations first appeared sought to misrepresent his connection with Report on procedure, paragraph 35.

the Oxfordshire property, for instance to pretend that he ever stayed there. It is a matter of fact that he immediately referred his case to the Clerk of the Parliaments and has co-operated with the investigation throughout; that he has repaid all money wrongly claimed (a larger sum than that covered by the SubCommittee’s investigation); that he has repeatedly apologised for his mistake; and that he persists in applying the term “main residence” in ways that could be interpreted unfavourably to himself. Lord Paul’s actions throughout the investigation have been consistent and, so far as we can tell, honestly meant. We do not feel justified in finding, on the balance of probabilities, that Lord Paul acted dishonestly or in bad faith. However, his actions were utterly unreasonable, and demonstrated gross irresponsibility and negligence. They therefore render him liable to sanction by the House. In mitigation, Lord Paul has apologised and repaid the money wrongly claimed. We recommend that Lord Paul be suspended from the service of the House for four months, starting on the date on which any suspension motion is agreed by the House.
APPENDIX: REPORT FROM THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON LORDS’ CONDUCT Members’ reimbursement scheme: the conduct of Lord Paul Introduction and summary 1. This report replies to a letter from the Clerk of the Parliaments dated 5 March 2010 which, following the Report from the Committee for Privileges on the procedure for considering complaints against members 1 (“the report on procedure”), invited the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Interests 2 to help him investigate a complaint about Lord Paul’s use of the members’ reimbursement scheme. 2. We find on the facts that the Oxfordshire property designated by Lord Paul as his main residence for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme from 11 October 2005 to the end of July 2006 did not meet the criteria endorsed by the House Committee on 26 January 2009 (p16E 3); and that Lord Paul did not make his designation and claims for night subsistence away from that property and for the mileage allowance in good faith. We recommend that, despite Lord Paul’s swift repayment of the whole amount wrongly claimed (£41,982), the House sanction Lord Paul by requiring him to make a personal statement of apology to the House and thereafter suspending him from the service of the House for six months.

The allegation, complaint and process of investigation Allegation and complaint 3. On 11 October 2009, the Sunday Times newspaper alleged that Lord Paul had designated as his main residence a flat in which he had never spent the night (p38): “A multi-millionaire ally of Gordon Brown pretended that a small flat occupied by one of his employees was his main home so he could claim £38,000 in expenses from the Lords. Lord Paul, one of Labour’s biggest donors and a friend of the prime minister, has admitted he never even slept in the flat, despite stating it was his main residence. The one-bedroom flat was occupied by a manager from one of Paul’s hotels who confirmed last week that the peer had never lived there while claiming the expenses. Paul, who has a family fortune of £500m, was actually based in London, where he has lived for more than 40 years.” 4. Mr Angus Robertson MP complained about Lord Paul’s alleged conduct the same day (p39); and Lord Paul referred himself to the Clerk of the Parliaments for investigation on 12 October (p40B). Procedure for investigation of allegations about expenses 5. The House Committee is the principal domestic committee of the House and is responsible for the members’ reimbursement scheme (p5B). On 20 October 2009, the Committee endorsed a procedure for dealing with complaints relating to the scheme (p15H). It involved investigation by the Clerk of the Parliaments as Accounting Officer; reference to the Sub-Committee in “complex or serious” 1 cases; report by the Clerk of the Parliaments to the House Committee; and sanctioning by the Committee for Privileges if appropriate (p16B). On 6 July 2010, the Clerk of the Parliaments and House Committee agreed to stand aside in this and two other cases where this SubCommittee had been involved: thus this report goes via the Clerk of the Parliaments to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct, to whom lies Lord Paul’s right of appeal 2. Procedure in this investigation 6. After 11 October 2009, Lord Paul met and corresponded with the Clerk of the Parliaments, correspondence which concluded with his repaying £41,982 to the House (p41D 3).The Metropolitan Police had meanwhile decided to investigate whether Lord Paul had committed an offence under section 17 of the Theft Act 1968 or the Fraud Act 2006. The Clerk of the Parliaments suspended his own investigation into Lord Paul until the criminal process had concluded. On 3 March 2010 a joint Crown Prosecution Service / Metropolitan Police Service panel decided not to prosecute Lord Paul and the Clerk of the Parliaments resumed his own investigation. On 5 March 2010, he asked the Sub-Committee “to investigate and determine the facts of the case” (p41E).

Report on procedure, paragraph 11 bullet 2: “Matters relating to the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme are the responsibility of the Clerk of the Parliaments, as Accounting Officer for the House of Lords. In exceptional circumstances he may request the Sub-Committee to assist him in investigating a complex or serious complaint”. 2 House of Lords Code of Conduct, 2 July 2001, paragraph 19(e): “If after the investigation the SubCommittee finds the allegation proved, the Member complained against has a right of appeal to the Committee for Privileges”; the report on procedure paragraphs 32-37 sets out the appeal procedure. 3 The Clerk of the Parliaments’ letter to Lord Paul of 23 October 2009 refers only to the repayment of night subsistence. Lord Paul then volunteered a further payment of £2,535 for the repayment of travel expenses; the amount calculated by him and confirmed by the Finance Department. We have no correspondence relating to this latter payment though the Finance Department assures us that the full amount has been paid.

Investigation by the Sub-Committee 7. The report on procedure says that we may not accept for investigation a complaint going back more than four years 1: we may thus examine conduct in this case from 11 October 2005. We have not limited our investigation to the allegation made by the Sunday Times newspaper but have instead generally investigated Lord Paul’s use of the members’ reimbursement scheme. We have focused on Lord Paul’s claims for night subsistence and travel. Lord Paul’s claims for day subsistence, office costs, and Select Committee expenses are not at issue. 8. Our investigation was interrupted by the dissolution of Parliament on 12 April 2010. The new House met on 18 May and appointed the Committee for Privileges and Conduct on 2 June. The Committee appointed this Sub-Committee on 7 June. We reported to the Clerk of the Parliaments on 28 July with the recommendation that, to retain confidentiality during the summer recess without affecting the timetable for any appeal, he should forward the report to the Chairman of the Committee for Privileges and Conduct only towards the end of the summer recess. Evidence 9. The Sub-Committee had as written evidence the amounts claimed by Lord Paul since April 2003 2 (p24) and his claim forms since March 2006 3 (pp29-37); correspondence between the House authorities and Lord Paul (pp40-4); a letter from the Sunday Times and transcripts 4 of telephone conversations and interviews on which their article was based (pp45F-56); and witness statements taken by the Metropolitan Police Service in the course of their investigation of Lord Paul (pp58-93). We welcome the constructive approach of the police in taking the difficult decision to release to us the material they gathered. The officers of the Sub-Committee corresponded with Lord Paul. We took oral evidence in private from Lord Paul (pp94-105), to whom we had earlier disclosed the written evidence. The report on procedure says 5: “Procedural safeguards 25. The Code of Conduct states that “in the investigation and adjudication of complaints against them, Members of the House have the right to safeguards as rigorous as those applied in the courts and professional disciplinary bodies.” They may be accompanied to any meeting by a colleague, friend or legal adviser, but every effort is made to keep proceedings informal, and there is no expectation that they should be so accompanied. If they do choose to bring a friend or adviser, they will nevertheless be expected to answer for themselves (and not through their friend or adviser) any questions put to them.” 10. Lord Paul co-operated fully with the investigation. He brought with him to the evidence session his secretary, Ms Elizabeth Allan.

Report on procedure, paragraph 11 bullet 4. Printed in evidence are the amounts from January 2005, when Lord Paul first designated a property outside London as his main residence. 3 The House of Lords Finance Department has retained the amounts claimed each month by members under each head since 2003 but has retained claim forms only from March 2006; all members’ earlier claim forms have been disposed of in accordance with the department’s disposal policy. 4 The Sunday Times also supplied the Committee with the recordings on which their transcripts were based. We did not rely on the newspaper’s transcripts but commissioned our own. Those published as evidence were either corrected or created by the clerks. 5 Report on procedure, paragraph 25. 2

11. We recommend that all of this evidence be published, subject only to giving the police sufficient time to allow them to inform those from whom they took statements. The facts 12. The report on procedure says 1: “Assessing the evidence 26. When its investigation is concluded, the Sub-Committee assesses the evidence. In order to find against a Member, the Sub-Committee requires at least that the allegation is proved on the balance of probabilities. 27. If the investigation has uncovered material evidence that is at variance with the Member’s version of events, this will be put to the Member, who will have a chance to challenge it. Before reaching its conclusions, the SubCommittee will also share with the Member a draft of those parts of its report dealing with issues of fact, so that the Member has an opportunity to comment on them. 28. If there remain significant contested issues of fact, the Sub-Committee will agree its own account of the facts of the case, while drawing to the attention of the Committee for Privileges and the House any challenge to this account made by the Member concerned.” 13. To fulfil these paragraphs, we showed Lord Paul a draft of our account of the facts set out in paragraphs 14 to 37 below. He accepted the account of the facts but made a further point to which we draw attention (p106). 14. The facts of the case are as follows. The members’ reimbursement scheme 15. The members’ reimbursement scheme is founded on resolutions of the House and is explained in a General Guide published by the Finance Department and in a Quick Guide set out on the reverse of the claim form. The Clerk of the Parliaments is responsible for administering the scheme, subject to direction by the House Committee on points of difficulty or doubt (p5B). The relevant resolutions and guidance are set out in full at pp1-15 of the printed evidence but we must here quote some relevant passages. The resolutions of the House and published guidance 16. The principal resolution of the House in relation to day and night subsistence is that of 25 July 1991 (p1D). It reads: “(1) Members of this House, except any Lord who receives a salary under the Ministerial and other Salaries Act 1975 and the Chairman and Principal Deputy Chairman of Committees, shall be entitled to recover (in addition to the costs of travel for which other provision is made) expenses certified by them as— (a) expenses incurred (otherwise than as mentioned in sub-paragraph (b) below) for the purpose of attendance at sittings of this House or of Committees of this House, or (b) expenses incurred in staying overnight away from their only or main residence where it is necessary to do so for that purpose.”
17. The principle that a member may claim a separate allowance towards the recovery of the cost of travel by car for the purpose of parliamentary duties was established by a 1
Report on procedure, paragraphs 26 to 28.
338
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 4 th Report 2010 -12
2010
resolution of the House of 17 May 1961 (p1A). The current resolution relating to travel by car is that of 10 November 2004 (p2C). It reads: “That this House approves the following proposals with respect to payments of car, bicycle and motorcycle allowances to Lords for journeys which they have commenced on or after 10 November 2004— (1) The maximum allowance payable in respect of a journey by car, motorcycle or bicycle should be payable at the rate which is applicable to that kind of vehicle under subsection (2) of section 230 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, as amended from time to time. (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the reference in that subsection to “the first 10,000 miles” is to the total number of miles of travel by car by the Lord claiming the allowance, which is either— (a) undertaken for the purpose of attending this House for the purposes of his parliamentary duties, or (b) undertaken while on parliamentary duties within the United Kingdom.”
18. It is clear from the resolutions that the purpose of the scheme is the recovery of expenses necessarily incurred in attending the House. 19. As to the guidance, the 2005 edition of the General Guide read (pp2-14): “1.2.1 Members of the House of Lords do not, in general, receive a salary in respect of their parliamentary duties. However, Members may be reimbursed actual expenses arising out of these duties, in accordance with the rules of the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme. The Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme is governed by Resolutions of the House. Rules for the recovery of Members’ expenses are administered by the Clerk of the Parliaments who also has limited discretion to deal with matters that arise on claims. Points of particular difficulty or doubt may be referred to the House Committee, which supervises the arrangements for the reimbursement of expenses ... 1.3 Taxable status 1.3.1 All amounts paid in settlement of claims as detailed in this guide represent reimbursement of actual expenses arising out of unpaid parliamentary duty, rather than income from employment. Consequently, they are not subject to income tax, and need not be included on a tax return ... 4 ATTENDANCE AT SITTINGS AT WESTMINSTER 4.1 General - Expenses Related to Attendance 4.1.1 The basic principle underlying the scheme is that the entitlement to recover expenses arises only in respect of attendance at sittings of the House or its committees at Westminster … 4.1.3 Members who wish to claim attendance expenses must complete and sign the attendance expenses claim form and forward it as soon as convenient after the end of each month, or period of claim, to the Members’ Expenses Section. A Member’s signature effectively certifies that the amount claimed has been spent for the purposes of parliamentary duties as set out above. Receipts are not required ... 4.2 Travelling Expenses General 4.2.1 Claims may be made only for journeys over five miles between a Member’s main place of residence in the United Kingdom and Westminster. Claims for
2010
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e – 4 th Report 2010 -12
339
incidental travel costs (e.g. those arising from short distance journeys within a five mile radius of Westminster, tolls and car parking charges) are covered by the day subsistence allowance (4.5). 4.2.2 Members seeking to receive travel costs must register their main place of residence with the Members’ Expenses Section. Members with more than one main place of residence may register an alternative main residence with the Members’ Expenses Section for the purpose of claiming travelling expenses. Registration is subject to the approval of the Clerk of the Parliaments ... 4.2.4 Members may recover the cost of fares incurred by them for travel by any public railway, sea, and air or bus service, or the costs of journey made by private car ... Road 4.2.8 Claims in respect of journeys by private car are payable at: • 40p per mile up to 10,000 miles in the year ending 31 March; and • 25p per mile for mileage in excess of 10,000 miles in the same year. No other claims in respect of motoring expenses are reimbursable under the travelling expenses heading. Incidental travel costs such as tolls, congestion charges and car-parking charges can be claimed against the daily limit of the day subsistence allowance (4.5). 4.4 Night Subsistence 4.4.1 Members whose main residence is outside Greater London may claim for expenses of overnight accommodation in London while away from their only or main residence. The maximum daily limit is £154.50. 4.4.2 A Member whose main residence is outside Greater London and who maintains a residence in London for the purpose of attending sittings of the House may claim this allowance towards the cost of maintaining such a residence. 4.4.3 Claims for night subsistence are only permissible in respect of nights actually spent in London either immediately preceding or following attendance at a sitting or meeting described in paragraph 4.1.1 above. For example, a Member who necessarily travels to London on a Sunday and attends sittings of the House on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and then returns home on Friday or later may claim night subsistence for a maximum of 5 nights at up to a maximum of £154.50 per night (i.e. a maximum of £772.50 for the week). However, if the Member returned home on the Thursday evening, the maximum claim for night subsistence would be 4 nights at up to a maximum of £154.50 per night (i.e. a maximum of £618 for the week). 4.4.4 Members who choose to travel home each night or whose main residence is within Greater London cannot claim the night subsistence allowance.”
20. The General Guide was updated in January 2007, October 2008 and April 2009. The language used to describe the scheme was materially the same in each edition until 2009, which left out the word “allowance” in several places, including in the title of the guide 1 and in paragraph 4.4.2 in relation to night subsistence.
1
Until April 2009, the guide was entitled “Members’ reimbursement allowance scheme general guide”.
340
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 4 th Report 2010 -12
2010
21. The claim form used until October 2008 read (p29): “I certify that during the month of .......... I have attended a sitting of the House or of a Committee of the House on the under-mentioned dates and claim reimbursement of: (a) Night subsistence incurred in such attendance or in respect of the maintenance of a London residence (other than a main residence) used for the purpose of attending the House (see note (i)) ... (d) Travelling Expenses (please ensure all travel dates are entered) (see note (v))”
Thereafter paragraph (d) read (p35F): “(d) Travelling Expenses see note (v)”
22. At the bottom of the form, the claimant has to print his name, sign, date the claim and enter his main place of residence. 23. Notes (i) and (v) refer to the Quick Guide printed on the reverse of the claim form which in 2005 read (pp14-15): “(i) Night Subsistence – Members whose main residence is outside Greater London may claim expenses, within a daily limit of £154.50 (from 1 August 2005 to 31 July 2006), for nights spent away from their only or main residence for the purpose of attending sittings of the House a) where they have incurred expenses of overnight accommodation in London or; b) as a contribution towards the costs of maintaining a London residence in connection with their parliamentary duties. Claims can only be made in respect of days of attendance ... (v) Travelling Expenses - These may be claimed for journeys between main place of residence in the United Kingdom and London by any public railway, sea, air or bus service. Claims in respect of journeys by private car are restricted to an allowance of 40p per mile up to 10,000 miles then 25p thereafter. Claims in respect of journeys undertaken by motorcycle are paid at the rate of 24p per mile and by bicycle at the rate of 20p per mile.”
24. The rates changed over the period. In August 2006 paragraph (v) read: “(v) Travelling Expenses - Claims may be made only for journeys over five miles between a Member’s main place of residence in the United Kingdom and Westminster by any public railway, sea, air or bus service. Claims in respect of journeys by private car are restricted to an allowance of 40p per mile up to 10,000 miles then 25p thereafter. Claims in respect of journeys undertaken by motorcycle are paid at the rate or 24p per mile and by bicycle at the rate of 20p per mile. Claims for incidental travel costs are covered by the day subsistence allowance (see section (ii)).”
25. In August 2009 paragraph (i) had a sentence added to the end: “When claiming Night Subsistence dates of travel must be shown on the claim form.” As did paragraph (v): “Members are required to provide receipts or vouchers when submitting claims for ticketed travel in excess of £50 per return journey (£25 per single journey).” 26. Although the Quick Guide says “Members are encouraged to contact the Finance Department, House of Lords for general assistance, or to discuss any particular points that arise from their claims”, in practice the onus on interpreting the scheme has fallen on the individual member. Save for the Lord President (Lord Soames) speaking of the member’s “usual residence” 1 when moving the motion which first set up the night subsistence regime in 1979, there was no guidance on the meaning of “main residence” other than the two words themselves until March 2010 2. 1

Lord Paul’s designated main residences 27. Lord Paul successively designated two main residences in the period from 11 October 2005 to the end of the last Parliament on 12 April 2010. Until the end of July 2006, it was The Cottage, Bignell Park Hotel, Chesterton, Oxfordshire. Since October 2006 it has been The Grange, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. Facts relating to the Oxfordshire property 28. Lord Paul’s company, Caparo Holdings, bought the Bignell Park Hotel, Chesterton, Oxfordshire in July 2001 (p40J). In January 2005, Lord Paul designated The Cottage, Bignell Park Hotel as his main residence (p40L). We may examine conduct back to 11 October 2005, four years before the complaint of 11 October 2009. 29. The House of Lords Finance Department has retained the amounts claimed each month by members under each head since 2003 but has retained claim forms only from March 2006; members’ earlier claim forms have been disposed of in accordance with the department’s disposal policy. Lord Paul’s claims for the short period March to July 2006 show claims for night subsistence away from his designated main residence for every day’s attendance at the House and the mileage allowance for journeys by car from and to the main residence every weekend when the House was sitting with the exception of 29-30 April 2006 (p24H). The amounts claimed indicate a similar pattern of claims since designation of the Oxfordshire property as his main residence in January 2005 (p24D), a position confirmed by Lord Paul (Q114). He claimed £39,447 in night subsistence and £2,535 in travel expenses throughout the period that the Oxfordshire property was his designated main residence (i.e. January 2005 to July 2006), a total of £41,982. 30. The Oxfordshire property is a one bedroom flat within the hotel, with a separate entrance (p73D) but without a separate postal address (p73E). It was occupied throughout the period by the manager of the hotel (p73J; p47D). Lord Paul was financially responsible for the hotel in so far as he owns the company which owns the hotel. The running costs, including utilities, were subsumed into those of the hotel (QQ111-12). 31. The manager of the hotel recalls Lord Paul visiting the hotel for board meetings (p47F); the assistant manager recalls him visiting 6-7 times a year for a day at a time (p73H). Lord Paul did not confirm how often he visited the hotel (Q76 et seq). We do not need to find how often Lord Paul visited the Oxfordshire property because he admits that he never spent a night at the property (Q35) or at the hotel (p73L; Q35). Nor did he stay overnight in the area (QQ101-3). This is despite claiming for journeys to the main residence usually on a Friday or Saturday and a return journey to London on a Sunday (pp25-8). 32. In relation to the journeys, Lord Paul admits that he did not make the journeys on the days stated on his claim forms (QQ36, 90-1; 171-2) though he says that he did travel to the hotel and/or surrounding area most weekends when the House was sitting (p44C; QQ37; 98-9). Indeed, he may have made more journeys than those for which he claimed, but he only claimed for one return journey a week (Q93). 33. Defending the designation, Lord Paul says that having bought the hotel in 2001 he wanted first to test whether he wished to live in the country or remain in London (Q79); then considered developing part of the hotel as a residence for his family, making use of the hotel amenities (p40K; QQ80-1; 145). Having decided in favour of the country but against such a development, he used the hotel as a base for looking for a country house closer to London (QQ83-4; 106).
342
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 4 th Report 2010 -12

34. He found the desired country house on 28 February 2005, namely The Grange, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. He contracted to buy the Buckinghamshire property in March 2006; and designated it as his main residence in August 2006 (p41B). Having contracted to buy the Buckinghamshire property, he stopped house hunting but continued to travel to and from that property (not the Oxfordshire property) each weekend (QQ128-9; 166-7). The Buckinghamshire property is 30 miles closer to London than the Oxfordshire property. The Oxfordshire property remained his designated main residence and subject to claims for night subsistence and travel until August 2006. Facts relating to the Buckinghamshire property 35. In August 2006, Lord Paul designated the Buckinghamshire property as his main residence and claimed night subsistence away from that main residence for his attendance at the House from when it resumed in October. His claim forms show claims for every day’s attendance and the mileage allowance for journeys by car from and to the main residence every weekend when the House was sitting with the exception of 4-5 November 2006, 17-18 March 2007 and 2-3 November 2007. The property is a 250 acre estate in Buckinghamshire (p44E). 36. In correspondence with the Registrar, Lord Paul says that “I spend a lot of time at the Grange (almost every weekend) with my wife and family” (p44E). He owns the Buckinghamshire property personally and no one other than his family uses it. He says that he spent part of the Easter, Whitsun and summer recesses of 2007-09 at the property but cannot confirm the exact periods (p44F). As far as he can recall, he travelled as indicated by his claim forms and stayed overnight at the property. Lord Paul’s residence in London 37. When in London, Lord Paul lives in a flat in a block of flats on Portland Place in which he and his wife have lived since 1966 (Q11); he owns the building (Q15); other members of his family live in other of the flats (Q14) but about half of the flats are rented by private tenants (Q21). We have not asked and he has not volunteered what expense he incurs in maintaining that residence. The issues 38. The case raises three issues: 1) whether Lord Paul’s two designated main residences in the period under investigation meet the criteria endorsed by the House Committee for these investigations; 2) whether Lord Paul correctly claimed for travel from and to those main residences; and 3) if the facts identify one or more wrongly designated main residences, whether Lord Paul acted in good faith in making his designations and claims for night subsistence and travel. Issue 1: whether Lord Paul’s designated main residences in the period under investigation met the criteria endorsed by the House Committee 39. On 26 January 2010, the House Committee endorsed the Clerk of the Parliaments’ approach to determining allegations about the members’ reimbursement scheme, as recorded in the published extract of the minutes of that meeting (p16E): “He [the Clerk of the Parliaments] emphasised that he was operating under the current scheme, one of the weaknesses of which was that there was no clear definition of a main residence. He had however taken the view, within the context of the individual assessment of each case, that there needed to be a minimum threshold beyond which it would be inappropriate for a Member to designate a property as a main or only residence, and consequently claim overnight subsistence when staying in London.
2010
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e – 4 th Report 2010 -12
343
He sought the endorsement of the Committee of the criteria which he was incorporating into his assessment of cases where frequency of visits was an issue: i.e. that the main residence had to be visited for a minimum of one weekend per month over the year when the House was sitting and for periods during recesses. These factors would be taken into account, along with other evidence, when assessing the validity of the designation of a main residence. He drew the attention of the Committee to the fact that it was probable that more stringent requirements would be a feature of the new scheme for Members’ expenses. He also raised the issue of whether a property that was occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner could in any circumstances be designated as a main residence under the current scheme. It was felt that this could in very specific circumstances be appropriate, subject to the thresholds established and depending on the detail of the Member’s connection with the property, including relevant financial responsibilities.” 40. We consider the criteria endorsed by the House Committee to be binding on us: it is the principal domestic committee of the House and explicitly responsible for the members’ reimbursement scheme (p5B). 41. “Visit” is used in the context of “weekend”. We consider that “visit” must include an overnight stay. We also consider that “one weekend per month” is not a minimum threshold set by the House Committee, but the minimum frequency of occupation when the House was sitting subject to “other evidence”: it is a necessary but not sufficient criterion. 42. The Committee for Privileges’ and our own report on Lord Clarke of Hampstead’s use of the members’ reimbursement scheme, agreed to by the House on 6 April 2010, is also relevant 1. In that report, we found that: “17. It is clear to us that a member may only claim under the scheme i) if they have stayed overnight away from their main residence; and ii) they have attended the House. There is no ambiguity about these conditions ... 23. Our interpretation of the resolution, General Guide and Quick Guide taken together is that a member who maintained a residence in London for the purpose of attending the House could reasonably claim that the night subsistence provision was a flat rate allowance intended to reimburse the member for the costs of maintaining such a residence (General Guide paragraph 4.4.2). A member who did not maintain a residence in London was however entitled only to claim for the recovery of actual expenses (General Guide paragraph 4.4.1). The former is no longer the case as the word “allowance” was removed from the guidance in April 2009.” 43. The report from the Committee for Privileges was agreed to by the House and is binding. Recent cases 44. In the period since the House Committee endorsed the criteria for determining a main residence for the purpose of these investigations, the Clerk of the Parliaments has determined a number of complaints raising similar questions (pp17-23) and a further number of media allegations against members who were not subsequently complained about. 1

Opinion of the Sub-Committee Oxfordshire 45. The fact that Lord Paul admits that he never stayed overnight at the Oxfordshire property is sufficient for us to find that his designation did not meet the criteria endorsed by the House Committee. Lord Paul wrongly designated the Oxfordshire property as his main residence. 46. With the assistance of the Finance Department, Lord Paul calculated that he claimed £39,447 in night subsistence in respect of nights away from the Oxfordshire property from January 2005 to July 2006. He has voluntarily repaid this sum to the House. This is a greater sum than the House could have required him to repay, as we may only investigate the four years of conduct back to 11 October 2005. Buckinghamshire 47. The Buckinghamshire property is a home owned by Lord Paul and regularly used by Lord Paul and his wife when the House was sitting and in the recess. Lord Paul’s designation meets the criteria endorsed by the House Committee. London 48. In terms of the amount of night subsistence claimed by Lord Paul for his accommodation in London, our report on Lord Clarke of Hampstead (agreed to by the House on 6 April 2010) made clear that the scheme provided a flat rate allowance intended to reimburse the member for the costs of maintaining a residence in London until April 2009 when the word “allowance” was removed from the guidance (General Guide paragraph 4.4.2); since then it has been a reimbursement scheme. Lord Paul legitimately claimed the full amount of available night subsistence as an allowance when away from the Buckinghamshire property until 6 April 2010. Since that date, Lord Paul should only have claimed reimbursement of the actual cost of maintaining his London residence. Lord Paul claimed the full amount of night subsistence in April 2010 but has not yet submitted a claim in the new Parliament. Issue 2: whether Lord Paul should have claimed for travel from and to his main residence Oxfordshire 49. Lord Paul should not have designated the Oxfordshire property as his main residence. Claims for travel may only be made for journeys made between a main residence and Westminster in respect of parliamentary duties (pp6K; 15B). As the Oxfordshire property was not his main residence, Lord Paul was not eligible to claim for travel from and to Oxfordshire. We do not need to find whether he made the journeys for which he claimed, though he admits that he did not make them either from or to his designated main residence or on the dates for which he claimed. 50. Lord Paul calculated that he had claimed £2,535 under the mileage allowance for journeys by car from and to Oxfordshire from January 2005 to July 2006 1 and he has voluntarily repaid this sum to the House. Again, this is a greater sum than the House could have required him to repay, as we may only investigate the four years of conduct back to 11 October 2005. 1
The Finance Department confirmed his calculation.

345
Buckinghamshire 51. Lord Paul confirmed that he travelled from and to the Buckinghamshire property as indicated by his claims for the mileage allowance for journeys by car (p44F). He was entitled to make those claims. Issue 3: if the facts identify one or more wrongly designated main residences, whether Lord Paul acted in good faith in making his designation and claims 52. Having found that Lord Paul wrongly designated the Oxfordshire property as his main residence and that he made claims for night subsistence and travel to which he was not entitled, we now turn to the issue of good faith. If Lord Paul did not act in good faith when making his designation and claims for night subsistence and travel, then he is liable to sanction. If however Lord Paul had good reason to believe that his designation and claims were valid, sanction might be inappropriate. 53. In correspondence with the Clerk of the Parliaments, Lord Paul says (p41B): “I recognise that claiming during the Bignall interlude has been perceived as having been on the wrong side of the line. I acted on entire good faith throughout.” Understanding of the scheme, designations and claims for night subsistence 54. In testing Lord Paul’s good faith, we are not assessing his conduct against the criteria endorsed by the House Committee but against any natural understanding of the scheme and “main residence” that might be held by a reasonable person. This is because the criteria endorsed by the House Committee were not designed retrospectively to define “main residence” for the purpose of the scheme but were designed only as criteria to be applied to the retrospective examination of certain members’ claims. 55. Lord Paul makes his assertion of good faith on the basis of his understanding of the rules. In relation to “main residence”, Lord Paul says (p43L): “At the time there was no definition of “main” or “principle” [sic] residence and it was my understanding (which prevailed in the House from 2004 to 2009) that if one owned a second home outside of London a claim could be made for overnight subsistence in London when the House was sitting and also for travel to and from the second home. I accept now, that due to the lack of guidance at the time, my understanding may have been mistaken.” In Lord Paul’s account, it was ownership not residence that was essential (QQ 61 to 65; 69; 147); indeed there was no need to reside (Q155). The word “main” in “only or main residence” had no effect on the definition (Q161). 56. Such a misconception might still be justified if Lord Paul had studied the guidance and come to such a conclusion, but he had not. He never read the Quick Guide on the reverse of the claim form, telling us that he often signed forms without reading the detail (Q141). He did not consider his obligation when he himself completed his claim form each month (Q113) and signed his name above the address he had filled in as his “main place of residence” (Q153). Nor did he seek anything other than very general advice from colleagues (QQ70; 107-10; 143). He did not even read the rules when certain of his claims were rejected (QQ148-9). We find this attitude to the making of a claim upon public funds to be inexcusable.
346
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 4 th Report 2010 -12

57. Even if Lord Paul’s definition of “residence” were reasonable, his lack of regard to “main” is unreasonable. We consider that no reasonable person could hold Lord Paul’s understanding of “main residence” in relation to the scheme. 58. We find that Lord Paul’s designation of the Oxfordshire property was a deliberate misrepresentation of his domestic arrangements made with the intention of enabling Lord Paul to make use of the night subsistence element of the members’ reimbursement scheme. Claims for the mileage allowance for journeys by car 59. In relation to travel, Lord Paul suggested that he was entitled to the mileage allowance for a return journey from and to his main residence irrespective of whether he had made the journey (QQ91-3). The wording of the Quick Guide is clear: “Members of the House of Lords... are entitled to recover the costs of travel... incurred in connection with their parliamentary duties... Travelling Expenses - These may be claimed for journeys between main place of residence in the United Kingdom and London” (p15B). The members’ reimbursement scheme did not exist to subsidise Lord Paul’s weekend house-hunting (Q106) but to facilitate his attendance in the House if that involved him being away from his main residence. We consider that no reasonable person could believe that the scheme enabled a member to claim for journeys he did not make and for purposes unconnected with attendance at the House. 60. On the balance of probabilities, we consider that Lord Paul did not truly hold the understanding of the provision for the mileage allowance for journeys by car with which he presented us. Not only could no reasonable person hold such an understanding, but the fact that he claimed for journeys to the main residence usually on a Friday or Saturday and a return journey to London on a Sunday, when he admits that (a) the journeys were not made on the days stated; and (b) he never stayed overnight in the Oxfordshire property, the hotel or in the surrounding area, indicates to us that Lord Paul made the claims for the mileage allowance for journeys by car from and to the Oxfordshire property with the intention of adding verisimilitude to his designation of that property as his main residence. Conclusion 61. We find that Lord Paul did not act in good faith in designating the Oxfordshire property as his main residence and in claiming night subsistence and travel expenses from and to that property. Sanction 62. We are conscious that this case is similar to that of Lord Clarke of Hampstead (in which an apology was sufficient) in that both members deliberately made false claims over a sustained period of time; referred their own conduct for investigation; quickly repaid the wrongly-claimed money; cooperated with the investigation; and apologised. Lord Paul’s case is however different from that of Lord Clarke. Lord Clarke wrongly claimed for 61 days’ night subsistence when he had in fact returned to his main residence, but his (only) residence was genuinely in Hertfordshire. Lord Paul’s wrong is greater in scale: he did not have a main residence outside London; none of his claims for night subsistence away from that residence was valid; he did not make the journeys for which he claimed on the days claimed; and the quantum wrongly claimed is greater. In addition, despite his apology to the Sub-Committee, Lord Paul has continued to present his case as a reasonable interpretation of the scheme honestly held. It was not. Not only did he make false claims but he presented the Sub-

Committee with an understanding of the scheme which no reasonable person could hold in an attempt to disguise the deliberate nature of his deception. 63. We recommend that the House sanction Lord Paul by requiring him to make a personal statement of apology to the House and thereafter suspending him from the service of the House for six months. His apology must be unconditional, and agreed in advance with the Chairman of the SubCommittee, to be sufficient.

PRIVILEGES AND CONDUCT COMMITTEE - 5TH REPORT 2010-12 THE CONDUCT OF LORD BHATIA

Introduction The Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct has investigated the conduct of Lord Bhatia. The Sub-Committee’s report is printed as an Appendix to this Report. The Sub-Committee’s investigation into the conduct of Lord Bhatia should be read in parallel with its investigations in the conduct of Lord Paul and Baroness Uddin. All three cases arise out of articles originally appearing in The Sunday Times, and each raises similar issues. Each of the Sub-Committee’s reports contains similar background analysis (for instance, of the rules governing the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme 1). But, however similar the issues, the facts of each case are wholly distinct and have required separate consideration. The Sub-Committee, and we ourselves, have therefore prepared three separate reports. Process The process followed in this case is summarised in paragraphs 5–6 of the SubCommittee’s report. The original allegations against Lord Bhatia appeared on 26 July 2009; a complaint was made the same day by Angus Robertson MP. Between 31 July 2009 and 25 March 2010, the Clerk of the Parliaments met and corresponded with Lord Bhatia, but ultimately he felt unable to reach a conclusion on the basis of the information with which Lord Bhatia had provided him. On 25 March 2010, he therefore asked the Sub-Committee “to investigate and determine the facts of the case”. The procedure in these cases follows that agreed by the House in December 2008 2, whereby the Clerk of the Parliaments can request the assistance of the Sub-Committee in investigating complaints which he considers “complex or serious”. As a Sub-Committee of the Committee for Privileges and Conduct, the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct normally reports to the parent Committee.
All references in this Report to the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme refer to the Scheme that applied up until 30 September 2010. As a result of a motion agreed by the House on 20 July 2010, the day subsistence, night subsistence and office costs elements within the Scheme were combined in a new daily allowance, with effect from 1 October 2010. 2 The Code of Conduct: procedure for considering complaints against Members, Committee for Privileges, 4th Report, session 2007–08 (HL Paper 205). Hereafter referred to as the “Report on procedure”.

But, as this case was referred to the Sub-Committee by the Clerk of the Parliaments, the Sub-Committee reported to the Clerk of the Parliaments. He, given the nature of the sanctions recommended by the Sub-Committee, forwarded the report in turn to this Committee. The Sub-Committee, following an investigation which had been interrupted by the dissolution of Parliament, sent its report to the Clerk of the Parliaments on 28 July. The Sub-Committee also recommended that, in order to preserve confidentiality, the Clerk of the Parliaments should not disclose the report to any other person until late in the summer recess. He accordingly forwarded the report to the staff of the Select Committee in late September, and a copy was at once sent to Lord Bhatia, on 21 September. He was at the same time notified of his right to appeal against the Sub-Committee’s findings to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. The deadline given for submitting an appeal was noon on 5 October. On 29 September Lord Bhatia’s solicitor applied for an extension of the time allowed to prepare his appeal, until 15 November 2010. In reply, he was informed that a decision on such an application could only be taken by this Committee at its meeting on 11 October. On 4 October Lord Bhatia submitted a further application for an extension of time, this time under his own name. At the same time he submitted a paper outlining the grounds for his appeal, and indicated his wish to appear in person before the Select Committee at its meeting on 11 October. At the meeting on 11 October, before considering the appeals submitted by the three Members, we considered Lord Bhatia’s application for an extension of time. We concluded that the time allowed to him to prepare his appeal was sufficient, and therefore rejected his application. In so deciding, we took into account that: •
The Sub-Committee’s report is short (just under 8,500 words);
•
A large section of the report (paragraphs 15–45, almost half of the total) was shown to Lord Bhatia in draft in July;
•
All the written evidence was disclosed to Lord Bhatia before his appearance before the Sub-Committee;
•
The extension requested (until 15 November 2010) was wholly unreasonable;
•
The two other Members whose cases we have considered, Lord Paul and Baroness Uddin, submitted full appeals within the two-week deadline, without applying for more time;
•
The outline grounds of appeal submitted by Lord Bhatia, supplemented by his oral evidence, were sufficiently comprehensive to enable us to reach a fair and balanced view on the merits of his appeal.
Although the Sub-Committee’s report was forwarded to this Committee in its entirety, certain matters covered in it relate to the administration of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme (for instance, the changes which the SubCommittee indicates were made to the Scheme in April 2009, referred to in paragraphs 21 and 51–52 of the Sub-Committee’s report), rather than to the privileges of the House or the Code of Conduct. It is for the House Committee, as the body responsible for the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme, to take forward these matters, on which we make no recommendations.

Our responsibility is to address the conduct of Members who are alleged to have breached rules agreed by the House, and, where appropriate, to recommend sanctions to the House as a whole. The House has previously resolved that it “possesses the same disciplinary powers in respect of breaches of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme as in respect of breaches of the Code of Conduct or of other rules of conduct adopted by the House”. 1 The Sub-Committee’s findings The focus of the investigation has been Lord Bhatia’s use of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme between 1 October 2007 and 1 January 2009. In particular, the Sub-Committee considered whether during this period Lord Bhatia correctly designated a two-bedroom flat in Reigate as his “main residence” for the purposes of the Scheme. Lord Bhatia first leased the Reigate property in March 2006, through a company he owns. Under the tenancy agreement, there are three permitted occupants: Mr Sultan Bhatia (Lord Bhatia’s younger brother), Lord Bhatia himself, and Lord Bhatia’s wife. As well as leasing the property through his company, Lord Bhatia also paid council tax on the property and paid its utility bills. Lord Bhatia has owned a family home in Hampton (just inside Greater London) for almost 20 years. He says that from March 2006 onwards he experimented with the Reigate property, with a view to moving there permanently. He says he was motivated by a desire to “downsize”, in view of his age and health. However, he retained the Hampton property throughout the period in question, and in January 2009 he again designated that property as his main residence. He also acknowledges that throughout the period he stayed in Hampton during the week. The pattern of Lord Bhatia’s visits to Reigate is unclear—his answers to the questions put to him variously by the Clerk of the Parliaments and the SubCommittee are summarised in paragraphs 41–43 of the Sub-Committee’s report. Lord Bhatia’s claims for travel expenses shed little light on the frequency of his visits: for the first five months of the period he claimed mileage allowance for regular travel to and from Reigate at weekends, while for the remaining 10 months he claimed nothing, describing the system as too cumbersome and inflexible. In conclusion, the Sub-Committee accepted, on the balance of probabilities, that Lord Bhatia visited the Reigate property on 30 percent of weekends when the House was sitting, and to some extent during recesses. He therefore exceeded the minimum threshold for frequency of visits to a “main residence”, which the Clerk of the Parliaments, with the agreement of the House Committee, has incorporated in his assessment of cases where frequency of visits is an issue (paragraph 48 of the Sub-Committee’s report). The Sub-Committee therefore accepted that, taken together with his financial responsibility for the property, the frequency of Lord Bhatia’s visits would be sufficient, other things being equal, to determine the case in his favour (paragraph 55). However, the House Committee agreed that there should be different and more stringent requirements in cases where a property is occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner:

“[designation of a property occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner] could in very specific circumstances be appropriate, subject to the thresholds established and depending on the detail of the Member’s connection with the property, including relevant financial responsibilities”. The Sub-Committee’s interpretation of this paragraph, and its application to Lord Bhatia’s case, are outlined in paragraphs 55–58 of the report. The SubCommittee considered that “the strength of the member’s connection with the designated property must be such as to find that, irrespective of occupation by a relative ... the property remained Lord Bhatia’s ‘main residence’ within any natural meaning of those two words taken together” (paragraph 56). On the basis of various relevant factors (frequency of visits and/or overnight stays either by Lord Bhatia or his wife, financial responsibility, his continuing ownership of the house in Hampton, whether he made friends in Reigate, and so on), the SubCommittee concluded that “Lord Bhatia’s connection with the Reigate property was insufficient for it to meet any natural meaning of ‘main residence’ for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme”. It follows from the Sub-Committee’s conclusion regarding the designation of the Reigate property, that Lord Bhatia was not entitled to claim travel expenses to and from Reigate. The Sub-Committee, with the assistance of the Finance Department, calculated the total amount wrongly claimed by Lord Bhatia by way of night subsistence and travel expenses to be £27,446. The Sub-Committee then considered whether or not Lord Bhatia acted in good faith in making the designation and the related claims. Lord Bhatia’s stated purpose in acquiring the Reigate property was to downsize from the house in Hampton. The Sub-Committee’s view was that Lord Bhatia leased the property “for the benefit of his brother” rather than with a view to downsizing. It found that his designation of the Reigate property was a “deliberate misrepresentation of his domestic arrangements made with the intention of enabling Lord Bhatia to make use of the night subsistence element of the members’ reimbursement scheme” (paragraph 71). The Sub-Committee concluded that his claims for mileage allowance were made “with the intention of adding verisimilitude to his designation” of the Reigate property (paragraph 77). In summary, the SubCommittee’s view was that Lord Bhatia “did not act in good faith” in designating the Reigate property and claiming night subsistence and mileage allowance. Finally, the Sub-Committee recommended that “the House sanction Lord Bhatia by requiring him to make a personal statement of apology to the House and thereafter suspending him from the service of the House for one year or until he has repaid the sum of £27,446 wrongly claimed, whichever is the later.” Lord Bhatia’s appeal Lord Bhatia’s appeal may be summarised under five broad headings. Burden of proof Lord Bhatia points out that the Sub-Committee’s findings were reached “on the balance of probabilities”. He asserts that this was an error, in that the allegations “were tantamount to an allegation of criminal conduct”—in such a case, he argues, the Sub-Committee should have been satisfied “beyond reasonable doubt”. He also refers to the “heightened civil standard” of proof—that is to say, a point between the civil (on the balance of probabilities) and criminal (beyond reasonable doubt) standards.

Procedural inadequacies Lord Bhatia alleges procedural failures in the Sub-Committee’s examination of him, in that he was at one point refused permission to consult his solicitor. He also asserts that the questioning was “extremely hostile”, so that he was disadvantaged by not being able to consult his solicitor. The House Committee criteria Lord Bhatia then refers to the House Committee criteria, describing them as an “objective test”, rendering his “individual motivation” irrelevant. He further alleges that, in judging his motivation, the Sub-Committee took insufficient account of his financial contribution to the property, and to evidence pre-dating his acquisition of the property that demonstrated his wish to downsize. Facts of the case Lord Bhatia notes the Sub-Committee’s acknowledgement that the frequency of his visits to the Reigate flat (around 30 percent of weekends while the House was sitting) would have satisfied the criteria agreed by the House Committee, were it not for the fact that his brother also occupied the flat. He says that the SubCommittee were wrong in fact to state that his brother had separated from his wife shortly before he acquired the property. He further states that his brother’s residence in the flat “reflected the cultural attitude of people of my ethnic background”, and that this cultural attitude should have been accepted as one of the “very specific circumstances” referred to in the House Committee criteria. Disproportionality Finally, Lord Bhatia asserts that the recommended sanction is “disproportionate and excessive”, particularly given the Sub-Committee’s acknowledgement that, were it not for his brother’s occupancy of the Reigate property, he would have met the criteria set by the House Committee. Evidence taken before the Committee for Privileges and Conduct Lord Bhatia appeared before the Select Committee on 11 October 2010. He read out what is, in effect, a more fully developed version of his written appeal. A full transcript of his evidence is printed in this volume (see p 129). Repayment and apology As indicated above, the Sub-Committee recommended that Lord Bhatia be required to repay the sum of £27,466 to the House, and that he be suspended either for one year, or until the sum is repaid, whichever is longer. The day after submitting his appeal, on 5 October, Lord Bhatia transferred that sum to the House of Lords. The Sub-Committee’s recommendation regarding repayment therefore falls. The Sub-Committee also recommended that Lord Bhatia be required “to make a personal statement of apology to the House”. Lord Bhatia, in his appeal, states that as well as repaying the money wrongly claimed, “nor would I seek to avoid making a statement to the House”.

The standard of proof Lord Bhatia’s appeal argues that the Sub-Committee should have applied (and, by implication, this Committee should apply) either the criminal standard of proof (“beyond reasonable doubt”), or a “heightened civil standard” (somewhere between “balance of probabilities” and “beyond reasonable doubt”) to this case. Instead, the Sub-Committee applied the test set out in the Report on procedure: “in order to find against a Member, the Sub-Committee requires at least that the allegation is proved on the balance of probabilities”. That Report, and the procedure it describes, was agreed by the House on 18 December 2008. The words “at least”, in the passage just quoted, indicate that there is an element of flexibility inherent within this standard of proof. This was confirmed in our Report on the conduct of Lords Moonie, Snape, Truscott and Taylor of Blackburn: 11. The standard of proof we have adopted in deciding whether to uphold or reject the Sub-Committee’s findings has been the same as that applied by the Sub-Committee: in other words, while taking the civil standard of proof, the balance of probabilities, as the appropriate standard, we have, in the light of the seriousness of the allegations, taken the view that particularly strong evidence should be required before we may be satisfied that the allegations are proved. 1 This Report was agreed by the House on 20 May 2009. Finally, the Guide to the new Code of Conduct, which came into force at the start of the present Parliament (and which will apply to any future investigations), states: 119. The civil standard of proof is adopted at all stages in the enforcement process, not only by the Commissioner, but by the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct and the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. Thus, in order to find against a Member, the Commissioner will require at least that the allegation is proved on the balance of probabilities. 2 This Report was agreed by the House on 16 March 2010. In other words, the House has three times explicitly endorsed the principle that the civil standard of proof should be adopted in such investigations, while acknowledging that within the civil standard a degree of flexibility is allowed in judging the strength of evidence required to justify a finding against a Member. This is entirely appropriate: these are internal disciplinary proceedings, and the sanctions to which Members may be subject (including suspension from the House for a period not exceeding the lifetime of the current Parliament) are also internal in character. No criminal liability follows from such a finding. Our approach to the question of the appropriate standard of proof is also entirely consistent with the approach taken in the courts. 3

We reiterate the principle that the standard of proof adopted in investigations should be that set out in the Guide to the Code of Conduct, namely that the allegation should be proved at least on the balance of probabilities. We have therefore dismissed this element of Lord Bhatia’s appeal. Procedural inadequacies Lord Bhatia’s asserted that the questioning to which he was subjected by the Sub-Committee was “extremely hostile”, and that he was disadvantaged by being refused permission to consult his solicitor. The questioning by the Sub-Committee appears to us to have been thorough, but entirely fair. Lord Bhatia is correct that at one point in the transcript of his evidence before the Sub-Committee (Q 94), a Member of the Sub-Committee told him that he could not ask his solicitor for help. This was a mistake, but it is clear from the transcript that this was an isolated occasion, reflecting what was, in our view, natural frustration at the difficulty encountered in getting clear answers to legitimate questions. We have no reason to believe that Lord Bhatia was significantly disadvantaged. In his evidence before this Committee, Lord Bhatia expressed his concerns still more forcefully. He claimed that the Sub-Committee had “predetermined” or “pre-formed” conclusions, and that he had been “ambushed”. There is nothing in the transcript to bear out these claims. In fact they are contradicted by his own remarks, towards the end of the meeting with the Sub-Committee: “Thank you for giving me this opportunity. It has not been trying. You have been very fair and straightforward in asking the questions in an appropriate manner”. (Q 269) In summary, we consider that Lord Bhatia was subjected to fair, rigorous questioning, and was given every opportunity to explain his actions. We dismiss this element of Lord Bhatia’s appeal. The House Committee criteria Lord Bhatia asserts in his written appeal that “designation of main residence is something noble peers were entitled to do under the rules if the criteria for designation was met”. This interpretation of the House Committee criteria as an “objective test” is wholly misconceived. The minimum requirement agreed by the House Committee in January 2010, and applied by the Clerk of the Parliaments in his investigations, was that “the main residence had to be visited for a minimum of one weekend per month over the year when the House was sitting and for periods during recesses” (see paragraph 48 of the Sub-Committee report). But that minimum requirement is not, and was clearly never intended to be, a definition of “main residence”, to be applied retrospectively to decisions taken in 2007 or 2008. It was intended to be incorporated “into [the Clerk of the Parliaments’] assessment of cases where frequency of visit was an issue” 1. Frequency of visit is not an issue in a case where no reasonable or defensible interpretation of the term “main residence” has been advanced.

We are therefore satisfied that the Sub-Committee’s application of the House Committee criteria was correct, and dismiss this element of Lord Bhatia’s appeal. Facts of the case The crux of the case is the Sub-Committee’s interpretation of Lord Bhatia’s decision to designate the Reigate flat as his “main residence” between October 2007 and January 2009. The question is whether or not Lord Bhatia’s designation of this flat as his “main residence” was based on a tenable and genuinely held understanding of the meaning of that term. The underlying purpose of night subsistence payments was clear. They were intended to enable Members who lived outside London, but who, in order to attend sittings of the House, were required to stay within London (whether by staying in temporary accommodation or by acquiring a permanent residence), to recover some of the costs incurred in so doing: 4.4.1 Members whose main residence is outside Greater London may claim for expenses of overnight accommodation in London while away from their only or main residence ... 4.4.2 A Member whose main residence is outside Greater London and who maintains a residence in London for the purpose of attending sittings of the House may claim this allowance towards the cost of maintaining such a residence.
45.
46.
47.
These payments were not intended to enable Members who lived inside London to acquire properties outside London and designate these as their “main residences”, thereby establishing an entitlement to claim additional money from the House, while continuing to live inside London. It is a common element in the three cases we have been considering that in each case the Member concerned had a long-established London residence, in which they spent the bulk of their time, before acquiring a “main residence” outside London, in which they spent a much smaller portion of their time. Lord Bhatia has lived in a four bedroom detached house in Hampton, on the edge of Greater London, for nearly 20 years. His daughter lives in an adjoining property. There is no doubt that throughout this period the house has been, and remains, his main family home. In March 2006 Lord Bhatia leased a two bedroom flat in Reigate, some 15 miles away from Hampton, but outside Greater London. The permitted tenants of the flat were his brother, Mr Sultan Bhatia, himself and his wife. Sultan Bhatia has lived in the flat continuously since March 2006. However, Lord Bhatia is financially responsible for the flat, including the lease, utility bills and council tax. Lord Bhatia claims that he acquired the Reigate flat with a view to “down-sizing” from his house in Hampton, and that the period in which the flat was designated as his main residence coincided with an experiment in down-sizing. The SubCommittee acknowledged that such down-sizing could constitute “a legitimate reason to change one’s designated main residence”. The Sub-Committee’s reasons for rejecting Lord Bhatia’s account are set out in paragraphs 68–70 of its report, and are persuasive. We place particular weight on the fact that Lord Bhatia at no point put his house in Hampton on the market; that he continued to spend most of his time in Hampton throughout the period in question; that on 1 January 2009 he re-designated the house in Hampton as his “main residence”.

no point does he appear to have spent more than occasional days or weekends in Reigate; his wife was there less often than himself. The Sub-Committee’s interpretation of Lord Bhatia’s decision to acquire the flat in Reigate was as follows: We find that Lord Bhatia leased the property for the benefit of his brother: Mr Sultan Bhatia is the first-named permitted occupant on the tenancy agreement; he was the sole person on the electoral roll for the property; it is his sole residence; and shortly before Lord Bhatia leased the Reigate property Mr Sultan Bhatia separated from his wife and is now divorced. (paragraph 60) Lord Bhatia has told us that the Sub-Committee was wrong to claim that his brother separated from his wife “shortly before” he acquired the flat. In his evidence before this Committee, he stated that the separation in fact occurred on 3 July 2004. We accept that the term “shortly before” is slightly inaccurate. However, we can draw no conclusions in Lord Bhatia’s favour from this inaccuracy. The fact that Lord Bhatia’s brother separated from his wife 20 months earlier does not invalidate the Sub-Committee’s judgement that the flat was leased “for the benefit of his brother”—the other factors mentioned, in particular the undoubted facts that Mr Sultan Bhatia is the first-named permitted occupant, that the flat is his sole residence, that he is the sole person on the electoral roll for the property, are in our view conclusive. Lord Bhatia further argues that his brother’s residence in the flat “reflected the cultural attitude of people of my ethnic background”, and that the SubCommittee should therefore have accepted his designation of the Reigate flat. However, the issue in this case is whether the Reigate flat could, within any natural meaning of the term, be regarded as Lord Bhatia’s “main residence”. If, as the Sub-Committee and we ourselves believe, Lord Bhatia acquired the flat for the benefit of his brother, that testifies to the strength of his sense of his cultural and family obligations; it does not justify him in designating that flat as his own “main residence”, and thereby claiming over £27,000 in expenses payments from the House. We therefore endorse the Sub-Committee’s conclusion that Lord Bhatia’s connection with the Reigate property was insufficient for it to meet any natural meaning of “main residence” for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme, and we dismiss this element of his appeal. Good faith Having concluded that Lord Bhatia wrongly designated the Reigate flat, the SubCommittee then considered whether or not, in so doing, and in claiming money under the night subsistence and mileage allowances, he acted in good faith. The Sub-Committee’s analysis is set out in paragraphs 63–78; the Sub-Committee’s conclusion was that he did not act in good faith.

Lord Bhatia’s appeal against this finding is based in part on his interpretation of the House Committee criteria. For reasons set out above, we consider this element of his appeal misconceived. He further argued, in his evidence before this Committee, that “the Sub-Committee’s so-called ‘tests of good faith’ appear to be highly subjective and inappropriate” (Q 2, p 132E). The factors taken into account by the Sub-Committee in assessing whether or not Lord Bhatia acted in good faith are set out fully and fairly in paragraphs 69–70 of the SubCommittee’s report. They are not “tests”, and were not put forward by the SubCommittee as tests. They are factors which, taken together, enabled the SubCommittee to make a judgement, on at least the balance of probabilities, as to whether or not Lord Bhatia acted in good faith. We reject Lord Bhatia’s assertion that they are “subjective and inappropriate”; on the contrary, they are all highly relevant to his case and to his motivation, which is the key issue. Our responsibility, in reviewing the Sub-Committee’s findings, is to “decide whether, on the balance of probabilities, we endorse the conclusions of the SubCommittee”. 1 We note that Lord Bhatia has a reasonable understanding of the term “main residence”, describing it in evidence to the Sub-Committee as his “principal home” (Q263), “where I live” (Q262). It is clear to us that his Reigate flat never acquired such a character. Lord Bhatia continues to assert that he acted properly in designating the flat as his main residence. On 5 October 2010 he transferred £27,446, the sum calculated by the Sub-Committee as having been wrongly claimed, to the House. Yet he rejects any suggestion that in so doing he has implicitly acknowledged that he wrongly claimed the money in the first place. He told us that he had “repaid the sum on the advice of my legal advisers. I do not accept the three allegations or the sanctions against me. I have done this simply because I was advised to do so.” (Q 7) We therefore endorse the Sub-Committee’s finding that “Lord Bhatia did not act in good faith in designating the Reigate property as his main residence and in claiming night subsistence and the mileage allowance for journeys by car from and to that property”. Sanction The Sub-Committee recommended that the House sanction Lord Bhatia by requiring him to make a personal statement of apology to the House and thereafter suspending him from the service of the House for one year or until he has repaid the amount wrongly claimed, whichever is the later. Lord Bhatia has now repaid the money wrongly claimed, so this element of the recommended sanction falls. With regard to apology and suspension, we consider that the greater penalty, suspension, renders the lesser, apology, unnecesary. Nor would it be fair, in a case where the Member concerned has maintained his or her innocence, to require an apology immediately prior to suspension. Lord Bhatia told us that “even though I have grave misgivings about the case against me, [I] would if required be prepared to make a statement to the House”. He has not offered to apologise, and we do not believe that he should be required at this late stage to do so.

We therefore confine our recommended sanction to suspension. In reviewing the Sub-Committee’s recommendation that Lord Bhatia be suspended for one year, we have taken into account the fact that he has now repaid the money wrongly claimed. We therefore recommend that Lord Bhatia be suspended from the service of the House for eight months, starting on the date on which any suspension motion is agreed by the House.
APPENDIX: REPORT FROM THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON LORDS’ CONDUCT Members’ reimbursement scheme: the conduct of Lord Bhatia Introduction and summary 1. This report replies to a letter from the Clerk of the Parliaments dated 25 March 2010 which, following the Report from the Committee for Privileges on the procedure for considering complaints against members 1 (“the report on procedure”), invited the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Interests 2 to help him investigate a complaint about Lord Bhatia’s use of the members’ reimbursement scheme. 2. We find on the facts that the property in Reigate which Lord Bhatia designated as his main residence for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme met the criteria endorsed by the House Committee on 26 January 2010 (p16E 3) in terms of frequency of visit, but that it did not meet the additional criterion for a main residence “occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner” (which it was; his brother lived there) in terms of his “connection with the property”. This is because, in our opinion, the connection must establish that the designated property remained the member’s “main residence” within any natural meaning of those words. He wrongly claimed £27,446 and should be required to repay this amount. We further find that Lord Bhatia did not make his designation and claims for night subsistence away from that property and for the mileage allowance in good faith. We recommend that the House sanction Lord Bhatia by requiring him to make a personal statement of apology to the House and thereafter suspending him from the service of the House for one year or until he has repaid the amount wrongly claimed, whichever is the later. The allegation, complaint and process of investigation Allegation and complaint 3. On 26 July 2009, the Sunday Times newspaper alleged that Lord Bhatia had designated as his main residence a flat occupied by his brother but in which he himself had not lived (p41):

“A millionaire peer has claimed more than £20,000 in allowances from the House of Lords by saying that a small rented flat occupied by his brother is his main home. Last week he could not even remember its address ... Bhatia could not remember the address of the flat when repeatedly asked last week. He had to look it up and even then misspelt the name of the block. A neighbour could not recall him living there, but Bhatia insisted he had spent many weekends at the flat and said he intended to move there with his wife when he sells his family home.” 4. Mr Angus Robertson MP complained about Lord Bhatia’s alleged conduct on 26 July 2009 (p43). Procedure for investigation of allegations about expenses 5. The House Committee is the principal domestic committee of the House and is responsible for the members’ reimbursement scheme (p5B). On 20 October 2009, the Committee endorsed a procedure for dealing with complaints relating to the scheme (p15H). It involved investigation by the Clerk of the Parliaments as Accounting Officer; reference to the Sub-Committee in “complex or serious” 1 cases; report by the Clerk of the Parliaments to the House Committee; and sanctioning by the Committee for Privileges if appropriate (p16B). On 6 July 2010, the Clerk of the Parliaments and House Committee agreed to stand aside in this and two other cases where this SubCommittee had been involved: thus this report goes via the Clerk of the Parliaments to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct, to whom lies Lord Bhatia’s right of appeal 2. Procedure in this investigation 6. Between 31 July 2009 and 25 March 2010, the Clerk of the Parliaments met and corresponded with Lord Bhatia (pp45-71). The Clerk felt unable to reach a conclusion on the basis of the information with which Lord Bhatia had provided him. On 25 March 2010, he asked the Sub-Committee “to investigate and determine the facts of the case” (p71E). Investigation by the Sub-Committee 7. The report on procedure says that we may not accept for investigation a complaint going back more than four years 3: we may thus examine conduct in this case from 26 July 2005. We have not limited our investigation to the allegation made by the Sunday Times newspaper but have instead generally investigated Lord Bhatia’s use of the members’ reimbursement scheme. We have focused on Lord Bhatia’s claims for night subsistence and travel. Lord Bhatia’s claims for day subsistence, office costs, and Select Committee expenses are not at issue.

Report on procedure, paragraph 11 bullet 2: “Matters relating to the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme are the responsibility of the Clerk of the Parliaments, as Accounting Officer for the House of Lords. In exceptional circumstances he may request the Sub-Committee to assist him in investigating a complex or serious complaint”. 2 House of Lords Code of Conduct, 2 July 2001, paragraph 19(e): “If after the investigation the SubCommittee finds the allegation proved, the Member complained against has a right of appeal to the Committee for Privileges”; the report on procedure paragraphs 32-37 sets out the appeal procedure. 3 Report on procedure, paragraph 11 bullet 4.

8. Our investigation was interrupted by the dissolution of Parliament on 12 April 2010. The new House met on 18 May and appointed the Committee for Privileges and Conduct on 2 June. The Committee appointed this Sub-Committee on 7 June. We reported to the Clerk of the Parliaments on 28 July with the recommendation that, to retain confidentiality during the summer recess without affecting the timetable for any appeal, he should forward the report to the Chairman of the Committee for Privileges and Conduct only towards the end of the summer recess. Evidence 9. The Sub-Committee had as written evidence the amounts claimed by Lord Bhatia since April 2003 and his claim forms since March 2006 1 (pp27-40); correspondence between the House authorities and Lord Bhatia (pp44-71); a letter from the Sunday Times and transcripts 2 of telephone conversations and interviews on which their article was based (pp79E-96). The officers of the Sub-Committee corresponded with Lord Bhatia (pp72-8). We took oral evidence in private from Lord Bhatia (pp97-118), to whom we had earlier disclosed the written evidence. The report on procedure says 3: “Procedural safeguards 25. The Code of Conduct states that “in the investigation and adjudication of complaints against them, Members of the House have the right to safeguards as rigorous as those applied in the courts and professional disciplinary bodies.” They may be accompanied to any meeting by a colleague, friend or legal adviser, but every effort is made to keep proceedings informal, and there is no expectation that they should be so accompanied. If they do choose to bring a friend or adviser, they will nevertheless be expected to answer for themselves (and not through their friend or adviser) any questions put to them.” 10. Lord Bhatia brought with him to the evidence session his solicitor, Mr Matthew Bosworth of Mssrs Russell Cooke. 11. We recommend that all of this evidence be published. 12. Unlike two other cases on which the Sub-Committee has recently reported, the Metropolitan Police Service did not investigate Lord Bhatia’s conduct so, in this case, there are no third-party witness statements on which we can draw. The facts 13. The report on procedure says 4: “Assessing the evidence 26. When its investigation is concluded, the Sub-Committee assesses the evidence. In order to find against a Member, the Sub-Committee requires at least that the allegation is proved on the balance of probabilities. 27. If the investigation has uncovered material evidence that is at variance with the Member’s version of events, this will be put to the Member, who 1
The House of Lords Finance Department has retained the amounts claimed each month by members under each head since 2003 but has retained claim forms only from March 2006; all members’ earlier claim forms have been disposed of in accordance with the department’s disposal policy. 2 The Sunday Times also supplied the Committee with the recordings on which their transcripts were based. We did not rely on the newspaper’s transcripts but commissioned our own. Those published as evidence were either corrected or created by the clerks. 3 Report on procedure, paragraph 25. 4 Report on procedure, paragraphs 26 to 28.

will have a chance to challenge it. Before reaching its conclusions, the SubCommittee will also share with the Member a draft of those parts of its report dealing with issues of fact, so that the Member has an opportunity to comment on them. 28. If there remain significant contested issues of fact, the Sub-Committee will agree its own account of the facts of the case, while drawing to the attention of the Committee for Privileges and the House any challenge to this account made by the Member concerned.” 14. To fulfil these paragraphs, we showed Lord Bhatia a draft of our account of the facts set out in paragraphs 15 to 45. He challenged a number of points in our draft. We have taken account of some but not all of his points in the version below and we draw attention to the memoranda by Lord Bhatia printed at (pp118H; 119A). 15. The facts of the case are as follows. The members’ reimbursement scheme 16. The members’ reimbursement scheme is founded on resolutions of the House and is explained in a General Guide published by the Finance Department and in a Quick Guide set out on the reverse of the claim form. The Clerk of the Parliaments is responsible for administering the scheme, subject to direction by the House Committee on points of difficulty or doubt (p5B). The relevant resolutions and guidance are set out in full at pp1-15 of the printed evidence but we must here quote some relevant passages. The resolutions of the House and published guidance 17. The principal resolution of the House in relation to day and night subsistence is that of 25 July 1991 (p1D). It reads: “(1) Members of this House, except any Lord who receives a salary under the Ministerial and other Salaries Act 1975 and the Chairman and Principal Deputy Chairman of Committees, shall be entitled to recover (in addition to the costs of travel for which other provision is made) expenses certified by them as— (a) expenses incurred (otherwise than as mentioned in sub-paragraph (b) below) for the purpose of attendance at sittings of this House or of Committees of this House, or (b) expenses incurred in staying overnight away from their only or main residence where it is necessary to do so for that purpose.”
18. The principle that a member may claim an allowance towards the recovery of the cost of travel by car for the purpose of parliamentary duties was established by a resolution of the House of 17 May 1961 (p1A). The current resolution relating to travel by car is that of 10 November 2004 (p2C). It reads: “That this House approves the following proposals with respect to payments of car, bicycle and motorcycle allowances to Lords for journeys which they have commenced on or after 10 November 2004— (1) The maximum allowance payable in respect of a journey by car, motorcycle or bicycle should be payable at the rate which is applicable to that kind of vehicle under subsection (2) of section 230 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, as amended from time to time.
2010
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e – 5 th Report 2010 -12
361
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the reference in that subsection to “the first 10,000 miles” is to the total number of miles of travel by car by the Lord claiming the allowance, which is either— (a) undertaken for the purpose of attending this House for the purposes of his parliamentary duties, or (b) undertaken while on parliamentary duties within the United Kingdom.”
19. It is clear from the resolutions that the purpose of the scheme is the recovery of expenses necessarily incurred in attending the House. 20. As to the guidance, the 2005 edition of the General Guide read (pp2-14): “1.2.1 Members of the House of Lords do not, in general, receive a salary in respect of their parliamentary duties. However, Members may be reimbursed actual expenses arising out of these duties, in accordance with the rules of the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme. The Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme is governed by Resolutions of the House. Rules for the recovery of Members’ expenses are administered by the Clerk of the Parliaments who also has limited discretion to deal with matters that arise on claims. Points of particular difficulty or doubt may be referred to the House Committee, which supervises the arrangements for the reimbursement of expenses ... 1.3 Taxable status 1.3.1 All amounts paid in settlement of claims as detailed in this guide represent reimbursement of actual expenses arising out of unpaid parliamentary duty, rather than income from employment. Consequently, they are not subject to income tax, and need not be included on a tax return ... 4 ATTENDANCE AT SITTINGS AT WESTMINSTER 4.1 General - Expenses Related to Attendance 4.1.1 The basic principle underlying the scheme is that the entitlement to recover expenses arises only in respect of attendance at sittings of the House or its committees at Westminster … 4.1.3 Members who wish to claim attendance expenses must complete and sign the attendance expenses claim form and forward it as soon as convenient after the end of each month, or period of claim, to the Members’ Expenses Section. A Member’s signature effectively certifies that the amount claimed has been spent for the purposes of parliamentary duties as set out above. Receipts are not required ... 4.2 Travelling Expenses General 4.2.1 Claims may be made only for journeys over five miles between a Member’s main place of residence in the United Kingdom and Westminster. Claims for incidental travel costs (e.g. those arising from short distance journeys within a five mile radius of Westminster, tolls and car parking charges) are covered by the day subsistence allowance (4.5). 4.2.2 Members seeking to receive travel costs must register their main place of residence with the Members’ Expenses Section. Members with more than one main place of residence may register an alternative main residence with the Members’ Expenses Section for the purpose of claiming travelling expenses. Registration is subject to the approval of the Clerk of the Parliaments ...
362
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 5 th Report 2010 -12
2010
4.2.4 Members may recover the cost of fares incurred by them for travel by any public railway, sea, and air or bus service, or the costs of journey made by private car ... Road 4.2.8 Claims in respect of journeys by private car are payable at: • 40p per mile up to 10,000 miles in the year ending 31 March; and • 25p per mile for mileage in excess of 10,000 miles in the same year. No other claims in respect of motoring expenses are reimbursable under the travelling expenses heading. Incidental travel costs such as tolls, congestion charges and car-parking charges can be claimed against the daily limit of the day subsistence allowance (4.5). 4.4 Night Subsistence 4.4.1 Members whose main residence is outside Greater London may claim for expenses of overnight accommodation in London while away from their only or main residence. The maximum daily limit is £154.50. 4.4.2 A Member whose main residence is outside Greater London and who maintains a residence in London for the purpose of attending sittings of the House may claim this allowance towards the cost of maintaining such a residence. 4.4.3 Claims for night subsistence are only permissible in respect of nights actually spent in London either immediately preceding or following attendance at a sitting or meeting described in paragraph 4.1.1 above. For example, a Member who necessarily travels to London on a Sunday and attends sittings of the House on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and then returns home on Friday or later may claim night subsistence for a maximum of 5 nights at up to a maximum of £154.50 per night (i.e. a maximum of £772.50 for the week). However, if the Member returned home on the Thursday evening, the maximum claim for night subsistence would be 4 nights at up to a maximum of £154.50 per night (i.e. a maximum of £618 for the week). 4.4.4 Members who choose to travel home each night or whose main residence is within Greater London cannot claim the night subsistence allowance.”
21. The General Guide was updated in January 2007, October 2008 and April 2009. The language used to describe the scheme was materially the same in each edition until 2009, which left out the word “allowance” in several places, including in the title of the guide 1 and in paragraph 4.4.2 in relation to night subsistence. 22. The claim form used until October 2008 read (p27): “I certify that during the month of ............ I have attended a sitting of the House or of a Committee of the House on the under-mentioned dates and claim reimbursement of: (a) Night subsistence incurred in such attendance or in respect of the maintenance of a London residence (other than a main residence) used for the purpose of attending the House (see note (i)) ... (d) Travelling Expenses (please ensure all travel dates are entered) (see note (v))”
Thereafter paragraph (d) read (p37F): “(d) Travelling Expenses see note (v)” 1
Until April 2009, the guide was entitled “Members’ reimbursement allowance scheme general guide”.

363
23. At the bottom of the form, the claimant has to print his name, sign, date the claim and enter his main place of residence. 24. Notes (i) and (v) refer to the Quick Guide printed on the reverse of the claim form which in 2005 read (pp14-15): “(i) Night Subsistence – Members whose main residence is outside Greater London may claim expenses, within a daily limit of £154.50 (from 1 August 2005 to 31 July 2006), for nights spent away from their only or main residence for the purpose of attending sittings of the House a) where they have incurred expenses of overnight accommodation in London or; b) as a contribution towards the costs of maintaining a London residence in connection with their parliamentary duties. Claims can only be made in respect of days of attendance ... (v) Travelling Expenses - These may be claimed for journeys between main place of residence in the United Kingdom and London by any public railway, sea, air or bus service. Claims in respect of journeys by private car are restricted to an allowance of 40p per mile up to 10,000 miles then 25p thereafter. Claims in respect of journeys undertaken by motorcycle are paid at the rate of 24p per mile and by bicycle at the rate of 20p per mile.”
25. The rates changed over the period. In August 2006 paragraph (v) read: “(v) Travelling Expenses - Claims may be made only for journeys over five miles between a Member’s main place of residence in the United Kingdom and Westminster by any public railway, sea, air or bus service. Claims in respect of journeys by private car are restricted to an allowance of 40p per mile up to 10,000 miles then 25p thereafter. Claims in respect of journeys undertaken by motorcycle are paid at the rate or 24p per mile and by bicycle at the rate of 20p per mile. Claims for incidental travel costs are covered by the day subsistence allowance (see section (ii)).”
26. In August 2009 paragraph (i) had a sentence added to the end: “When claiming Night Subsistence dates of travel must be shown on the claim form.” As did paragraph (v): “Members are required to provide receipts or vouchers when submitting claims for ticketed travel in excess of £50 per return journey (£25 per single journey).” 27. Although each edition of the Quick Guide said “Members are encouraged to contact the Finance Department, House of Lords for general assistance, or to discuss any particular points that arise from their claims”, in practice the onus on interpreting the scheme has fallen on the individual member. Save for the Lord President (Lord Soames) speaking of the member’s “usual residence”1 when moving the motion which first set up the night subsistence regime in 1979, there was no guidance on the meaning of “main residence” other than the two words themselves until March 2010 2. Lord Bhatia’s designated main residences, claims and circumstances Lord Bhatia’s designated main residences 28. Lord Bhatia successively designated two main residences in the period from 26 July 2005 to the end of the last Parliament on 12 April 2010. Until 1 October 2007 it was 22 Manor Gardens, Hampton, Middlesex. From 1 October 2007 to 1 January 2009 it was 31 Bancroft Court, Reigate, Surrey. On 1 January 2009 his designated main residence reverted to 22 Manor Gardens, Hampton, Middlesex. 1

Facts relating to the Hampton property 29. The Hampton property is a post-war four bedroom detached house with a garden. It has been Lord Bhatia’s family home for nearly 20 years (p45K). His daughter, a medical doctor, lives in a house with an adjoining garden; the two gardens are shared (p89A). Before 1 October 2007, the Hampton property was Lord Bhatia’s only residence for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme. Since 1 October 2007 it has been his London residence. Since 1 January 2009 it has been his designated main residence. 30. The House of Lords Finance Department has retained all members’ claim forms from March 2006: Lord Bhatia’s claims are reproduced at (pp24-40). Lord Bhatia claimed day subsistence, office costs and the mileage allowance for journeys by car for every day he attended the House in both periods for which Hampton was his main residence. Hampton is within Greater London and naturally falls outside the scope of the night subsistence scheme, the purpose of which is to reimburse members whose main residence is outside Greater London for the cost of accommodation in London when attending the House. Facts relating to the Reigate property: circumstances 31. Lord Bhatia and his wife are both in their seventies. Lord Bhatia says that he and his wife have wished to downsize since 2003 in order to reduce the burden for an ageing couple of maintaining a family home no longer occupied by a family (p45K; Q71). In 2004, he proposed to buy a house in Berkshire as his main residence while retaining the Hampton property for the purpose of attending the House (p44B). That purchase did not happen. In March 2006, Lord Bhatia leased the Reigate property through a company he owns, Casley Finance Limited (p51C). The property is a twobedroom flat “at the end of the row, close to an underground car park” in “an unprepossessing 1970s block” as described by the Sunday Times newspaper (p79K). Lord Bhatia acknowledged to a journalist from the Sunday Times that the contrast with the Hampton property is “stark” but said that it reflected his circumstances: at 76 he could not maintain the Hampton house (p90H). 32. The tenancy agreement specifies the permitted occupants as Sultan Alibhai Bhatia (Lord Bhatia’s younger brother), Amirali Bhatia (Lord Bhatia) and Nurbanu Bhatia (Lord Bhatia’s wife) (p51D). Throughout the period, Lord Bhatia paid undiscounted council tax on the property (pp54-6) and paid its utility bills (pp57-70). 33. From March 2006, Lord Bhatia says that he experimented with the Reigate property to see whether he wished to move to the area and that flat (Q94). He furnished the flat over the period to October 2007 both with newly bought furniture and items from Hampton (QQ106; 255); he kept some of his possessions in Reigate, including clothes, as he required (Q23). 34. The experiment concluded with Lord Bhatia deciding that he wished to live in the Reigate property (Q238). On 10 September 2007, Lord Bhatia wrote to the Finance Department to say that “As from 1 October 2007, I will be moving to my main residence at” the Reigate property and that “I will be using my Hampton House which I will use during weekdays and when attending the House of Lords” (p44G). That same September, Lord Bhatia was taken ill with a nasal condition which required a few days’ hospitalisation followed by continued medication and observation by a doctor close to Hampton (QQ78-94) but he informed the Sub-Committee that that did not prevent him from spending every weekend in the months thereafter at the Reigate property as indicated by his claims for the mileage allowance for journeys by car (pp24-6).

35. We asked Lord Bhatia about his lifestyle at the Reigate property once he had decided that it should be his main residence. His wife was there “occasionally”, less frequently than himself (p88D), though they both wanted to downsize (Q7). Family gatherings continued to be held in Hampton (at his adjacent daughter’s home), never in Reigate (Q41; p119L). The Bhatias made no friends in Reigate (Q40) but knew their neighbours in Hampton well (Q38). Lord Bhatia and his wife remained on the electoral roll in Hampton; only his brother Sultan appeared on the roll in Reigate (see paragraph 37 below). When interviewed by the Sunday Times, Lord Bhatia could not recall the address of the Reigate property (pp81E, 81F; 83G). Despite his intention of downsizing, the Hampton property was not put on the market, we were told both due to Lord Bhatia’s need to use it as a London residence when attending the House (p44G) and because the property market was depressed (Q25). 36. Towards the end of 2008, Lord Bhatia reassessed his lifestyle in the light of a further medical diagnosis (p46E) which meant that he could not go to Reigate (p88E). Despite his continuing intention to downsize to the Reigate property (Q241; pp81D; 82E), he changed his designated main residence back to the Hampton property. 37. Lord Bhatia’s brother, Mr Sultan Bhatia, the first-named permitted occupant on the tenancy agreement (p51D), lived in the Reigate property throughout the period (Q70) and continues to do so (Q243). It is his sole residence (p89D). He occupies the smaller of the two bedrooms (p85F; Q74) with the purpose of looking after the property in Lord Bhatia’s absence (Q74). Shortly before Lord Bhatia leased the Reigate property, Mr Sultan Bhatia separated from his wife (pp85K; 86E) and is now divorced (p96B). Lord Bhatia denied that he had leased the flat for the benefit of his brother (Q73). Facts relating to the Reigate property: travel and frequency of visit 38. Lord Bhatia’s claims for the mileage allowance for journeys by car in the period when the Reigate property was his designated main residence (October 2007 to December 2008) may be divided into three (pp24-6): i) in the month of October 2007, Lord Bhatia claimed night subsistence, day subsistence and office costs. He also claimed the mileage allowance for daily journeys throughout the month from Hampton. On this being drawn to his attention by the Finance Department, he amended his claim by letter to claim for journeys each week from and to Reigate (pp 34A; 44J); ii) from 1 November 2007 to 29 February 2008, Lord Bhatia’s designated main residence remained in Reigate. He claimed night subsistence, day subsistence, office costs and the mileage allowance for weekly journeys by car from and to Reigate. The claimed days of travel to Reigate vary from week to week: for example the days of his return to Reigate in December 2007 were Saturday 1st, Thursday 6th, Friday 14th and Tuesday 18th. He usually travelled to London on a Monday; and iii) from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008, Lord Bhatia’s designated main residence remained in Reigate. He claimed night subsistence, day subsistence and office costs. He did not claim the mileage allowance. 39. The Clerk of the Parliaments felt unable to determine the complaint about Lord Bhatia because Lord Bhatia had been unable to estimate the number of occasions he had visited his Reigate main residence. 40. Lord Bhatia expressed himself to us only in general terms as to the frequency of his visits to Reigate and indeed presented us with contradictory evidence.
366
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 5 th Report 2010 -12

41. He maintained to the Clerk of the Parliaments and to us that he did not keep a log of his visits to Reigate and so was unable to confirm the dates on which he had been there (p49H; Q3). His brother said that he too had no record when door-stepped by a journalist (p86A). We consider this lack of record unlikely in the light of the fact that Lord Bhatia had sufficient a record to claim the mileage allowance by month in arrears (pp24-6); that he has a PA (QQ163; 170); and a diary showing his attendance in the House (QQ185; 188). He is also sufficiently well organised to have retained the utility bills for the Reigate property in accordance with company law since he first leased it in 2006 (pp57-70). In the understandable absence of a complete record, we would have hoped that his records and memory might have provided some specific illustrations of his visits, but they did not. 42. When questioned on frequency he told us that, in the period before the Reigate property was his designated main residence, he “visited and resided there occasionally”, 2 to 3 times a month (Q69), between 30-50% of the time (Q64). “Reside” included an overnight stay in his meaning (Q61). 43. Once the Reigate property was his designated main residence, Lord Bhatia told us that he was there “regularly” (Q3), “30 or 40% of the time” (Q113) (we take “time” in this context to mean weekends when the House was sitting) and that the same pattern applied to the recess (Q266), though he told the Sunday Times that he saw no reason to be in Reigate in the recess (p92B; p92G). He also said however that, although he travelled to Reigate once a week (Q218), he might have gone to Reigate in the morning and returned to Hampton in the evening (Q108): he did not necessarily stay the night (QQ154; 224). 44. Lord Bhatia’s claims for the mileage allowance for journeys by car for the first five months in which Reigate was his designated main residence show claims for journeys from and to Reigate at weekends. He travelled to London on Mondays (save for Tuesday 6 November 2007) and returned to Reigate on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Lord Bhatia admits that he did not necessarily travel on the days set out on the claim forms (QQ199; 213): he said that he may have travelled back and forth in a single day (QQ154; 224); and his journey might not have started in Reigate (Q228). He told us that he made these claims due to a misunderstanding of the requirements of the members’ reimbursement scheme (QQ161; 197; 211), an alleged misunderstanding we consider below. 45. Lord Bhatia did not claim the mileage allowance for journeys from and to Reigate for the remaining 10 months in which the property was his designated main residence (pp25C; 36A-38F). He gave two reasons for his decision to stop claiming. First, he described the system as “cumbersome” (p48K). Then, in oral evidence, he presented the system as inflexible and difficult for his circumstances (Q3). 46. We found Lord Bhatia’s account of the frequency of his visits to Reigate to be unconvincing. We are however required to determine this case at least on the balance of probabilities. On the available evidence, we accept that over the period of designation Lord Bhatia visited the Reigate property on 30% of weekends when the House was sitting; that some but not all of these visits included an overnight stay; and that this pattern continued to some extent in the recess. The issues 47. The case raises three issues: 1) whether Lord Bhatia’s designated main residence in Reigate met the criteria endorsed by the House Committee for these investigations; 2) whether Lord Bhatia correctly claimed for travel from and to that main residence; and 3) if the facts identify a wrongly designated main residence, whether Lord Bhatia
2010
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e – 5 th Report 2010 -12
367
acted in good faith in making his designation and claims for night subsistence and travel. Issue 1: whether Lord Bhatia’s designated main residence met the criteria endorsed by the House Committee 48. On 26 January 2010, the House Committee endorsed the Clerk of the Parliaments’ approach to determining allegations about the members’ reimbursement scheme, as recorded in the published extract of the minutes of that meeting (p16E): “He [the Clerk of the Parliaments] emphasised that he was operating under the current scheme, one of the weaknesses of which was that there was no clear definition of a main residence. He had however taken the view, within the context of the individual assessment of each case, that there needed to be a minimum threshold beyond which it would be inappropriate for a Member to designate a property as a main or only residence, and consequently claim overnight subsistence when staying in London. He sought the endorsement of the Committee of the criteria which he was incorporating into his assessment of cases where frequency of visits was an issue: i.e. that the main residence had to be visited for a minimum of one weekend per month over the year when the House was sitting and for periods during recesses. These factors would be taken into account, along with other evidence, when assessing the validity of the designation of a main residence. He drew the attention of the Committee to the fact that it was probable that more stringent requirements would be a feature of the new scheme for Members’ expenses. He also raised the issue of whether a property that was occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner could in any circumstances be designated as a main residence under the current scheme. It was felt that this could in very specific circumstances be appropriate, subject to the thresholds established and depending on the detail of the Member’s connection with the property, including relevant financial responsibilities.” 49. We consider the criteria endorsed by the House Committee to be binding on us: it is the principal domestic committee of the House and explicitly responsible for the members’ reimbursement scheme (p5A). 50. “Visit” is used in the criteria in the context of “weekend”. We consider that “visit” must include an overnight stay. We also consider that “one weekend per month” is not a minimum threshold set by the House Committee, but the minimum frequency of occupation when the House was sitting subject to “other evidence”. It is a necessary but not sufficient criterion. In the case of a property occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner, “very specific circumstances” are required, “subject to the thresholds established and depending on the detail of the Member’s connection with the property, including relevant financial responsibilities”. 51. The Committee for Privileges’ and our own report on Lord Clarke of Hampstead’s use of the members’ reimbursement scheme, agreed to by the House on 6 April 2010, is also relevant 1. In that report, we found that:

2010
“17. It is clear to us that a member may only claim under the scheme i) if they have stayed overnight away from their main residence; and ii) they have attended the House. There is no ambiguity about these conditions ... 23. Our interpretation of the resolution, General Guide and Quick Guide taken together is that a member who maintained a residence in London for the purpose of attending the House could reasonably claim that the night subsistence provision was a flat rate allowance intended to reimburse the member for the costs of maintaining such a residence (General Guide paragraph 4.4.2). A member who did not maintain a residence in London was however entitled only to claim for the recovery of actual expenses (General Guide paragraph 4.4.1). The former is no longer the case as the word “allowance” was removed from the guidance in April 2009.” 52. The report from the Committee for Privileges was agreed to by the House and is binding. Recent cases 53. In the period since the House Committee endorsed the criteria for determining a main residence for the purpose of these investigations, the Clerk of the Parliaments has determined a number of complaints raising similar questions (pp17-23) and a further number of media allegations against members who were not subsequently complained about. These decided cases do not however form any precedent. Each of the Clerk’s published reports constitutes the application to specific circumstances of the criteria endorsed by the House Committee: the questions the Clerk faced when deciding the cases he did, and the questions we face in deciding this case, are questions of fact. They establish no principle, rule or threshold. The Clerk’s several decisions are thus not statements of precedent and they do not bind us as we determine the facts of this case. We have proceeded on the basis that we may take into account any fact relevant to the circumstances, even if the Clerk did not take such a fact into account in the cases he decided. Opinion of the Sub-Committee Frequency of visit 54. On the available evidence, we accept that over the whole period of designation Lord Bhatia visited the Reigate property on 30% of weekends when the House was sitting; that some but not all of these visits included an overnight stay; and that this pattern continued to some extent in the recess. This meets the minimum threshold for frequency of visit in the criteria endorsed by the House Committee and by which we are bound. Criteria when a property is occupied by a relative other than a spouse 55. Frequency of visit is a necessary but not sufficient criterion, subject to “other evidence” under the criteria endorsed by the House Committee. Lord Bhatia was financially responsible for the property: his company was responsible for the rent and he paid the council tax and utility bills. According to the criteria, that would be sufficient to determine the case if it were not for the fact that Lord Bhatia’s brother, Mr Sultan Bhatia, lived in the property before, during and after the period in which it was designated as Lord Bhatia’s main residence. The House Committee set additional criteria for such circumstances (p16J):
2010
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e – 5 th Report 2010 -12
369
“[designation of a property occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner] could in very specific circumstances be appropriate, subject to the thresholds established and depending on the detail of the Member’s connection with the property, including relevant financial responsibilities”. Thus, frequency of visit remains essential but there is i) a further dominant criterion: “the detail of the Member’s connection with the property, including relevant financial responsibilities”; and ii) a subordinate criterion: “very specific circumstances”. Connection with the property 56. The criteria endorsed by the House Committee provide no guidance as to what constitutes a sufficient connection with the property for it appropriately to be designated as a main residence in these circumstances. We thus have to establish our own criteria to decide that fact. We consider that the strength of the member’s connection with the designated property must be such to find that, irrespective of occupation by a relative other than a spouse or partner, the property remained Lord Bhatia’s “main residence” within any natural meaning of those two words taken together. We accept that “main residence” is not defined either in the resolution establishing, or in the guidance on, the members’ reimbursement scheme. The consequence is that it would be unreasonable retrospectively to apply a single definition. It does not mean however that a designation which defies any natural meaning of those words may be allowed. 57. In favour of a sufficiently close connection for the Reigate property to be his main residence is the fact that Lord Bhatia was financially responsible for it; and he kept some of his possessions there, including clothes, as he required. Against a sufficiently close connection is that Lord Bhatia visited the property on only 30% of weekends when the House was sitting; and that only some of these visits included an overnight stay. He was not there with any greater frequency or duration in the recess. His wife was there less frequently than himself, though they both wanted to downsize; his doctor remained in Hampton; the Bhatias made no friends in Reigate; and Lord Bhatia and his wife remained on the electoral roll in Hampton. We consider that Lord Bhatia’s connection with the Reigate property was insufficient for it to meet any natural meaning of “main residence” for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme, especially in the light of his continued ownership and use of the Hampton property. 58. We thus conclude that Lord Bhatia did not have a sufficient connection with the Reigate property to have designated it as his main residence given that it was occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner. He was therefore wrong to have designated it as his main residence for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme and to have claimed night subsistence when away from it. 59. With the assistance of the Finance Department, we have calculated that Lord Bhatia wrongly claimed £27,134 in night subsistence over the period. Lord Bhatia should be required to repay this amount. Specific circumstances 60. Our finding on Lord Bhatia’s “connection with the property” determines this issue because that criterion is dominant in the test. For completeness however we also address the question of “very specific circumstances”. Lord Bhatia claims to have leased the Reigate property for himself and his wife to downsize from Hampton. He says that his brother occupied the property only to look after it in Lord Bhatia’s absence. Had his connection with the property been sufficient, such circumstances
370
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 5 th Report 2010 -12
2010
would in our opinion have enabled Lord Bhatia to have designated the property as his main residence despite its occupation “by a relative other than a spouse or partner”. These were not however his circumstances. First, we find below that this was not an exercise in downsizing (paragraphs 68 to 70). Secondly, we find that Lord Bhatia leased the property for the benefit of his brother: Mr Sultan Bhatia is the first-named permitted occupant on the tenancy agreement; he was the sole person on the electoral roll for the property; it is his sole residence; and shortly before Lord Bhatia leased the Reigate property Mr Sultan Bhatia separated from his wife and is now divorced. Issue 2: whether Lord Bhatia should have claimed for travel from and to his main residence 61. Lord Bhatia should not have designated the Reigate property as his main residence. Claims for travel may only be made for journeys made between a main residence and Westminster in respect of parliamentary duties (pp6K; 15B). As Reigate was not his main residence, Lord Bhatia was not eligible to claim for travel from and to Reigate. We do not need to find whether he made the journeys for which he claimed in the five months of his designation in which he made travel claims, though he admits that he did not make the journeys either necessarily from and to his designated main residence or on the dates for which he claimed. 62. With the assistance of the Finance Department, we have calculated that Lord Bhatia wrongly claimed £312 under the mileage allowance for journeys by car over the period. Lord Bhatia should be required to repay this amount. Issue 3: if the facts identify a wrongly designated main residence, whether Lord Bhatia acted in good faith in making his designation and claims 63. Having found that Lord Bhatia wrongly designated the Reigate property as his main residence and made claims for night subsistence and travel to which he was not entitled, we now turn to the issue of good faith. If Lord Bhatia did not act in good faith when making his designation and claims for night subsistence and travel, then he is liable to sanction. If however Lord Bhatia had good reason to believe that his designation and claims were valid, sanction might be inappropriate. 64. In correspondence with the Clerk of the Parliaments, Lord Bhatia says (p46D): “I have always acted in an open and transparent manner in relation to reimbursement of expenses for overnight accommodation as per the Guideline set out in the relevant Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme General Guide that were in force at the relevant time ... All claims that I made... were properly made and I did so with the full knowledge of the House of Lords’ Accountants Office.” 65. In oral evidence, Lord Bhatia stressed several times that he acted in good faith throughout (Q3). 66. In testing Lord Bhatia’s good faith, we look separately at his designation of main residence and claims for night subsistence on the one hand and his claims for the mileage allowance on the other. Understanding of the scheme, designations and claims for night subsistence 67. Lord Bhatia relies on his understanding of “the rules in place at the time” (Q3). In terms of designation and night subsistence, he was clearly aware of the available guidance (Q3) and the extent of the scheme. In testing Lord Bhatia’s good faith, we are not assessing his conduct against the criteria endorsed by the House Committee
2010
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e – 5 th Report 2010 -12
371
but against any natural understanding of the scheme and “main residence” that might be held by a reasonable person. This is because the criteria endorsed by the House Committee were not designed retrospectively to define “main residence” for the purpose of the scheme but were designed only as criteria to be applied to the retrospective examination of certain members’ claims. We asked Lord Bhatia for his understanding of “main residence”. He described it as his “principal home” (Q263), “where I live” (Q262). Lord Bhatia’s two definitions of “main residence” are acceptable natural meanings of “main residence” for the purpose of the scheme: he was under no misapprehension of the terms of the scheme. 68. Lord Bhatia’s stated purpose in acquiring the Reigate property was to downsize from the Hampton property. This would be a legitimate reason to change one’s designated main residence. What we must now consider is whether the facts demonstrate a failed but genuine attempt at downsizing or a deliberate misrepresentation of the position. 69. In favour of a failed but genuine attempt at downsizing his principal home ‘where he lives’ are his age; his experimentation with the property for 18 months before he designated it as his main residence; that he furnished the property in part from Hampton; that he kept some of his possessions in Reigate, including clothes, as he required; and that his health deteriorated at the end of the period leading to redesignation. 70. Against this being a genuine attempt at downsizing is that Lord Bhatia made no concentrated attempt to live in the Reigate property despite his understanding of “main residence” and telling the Finance Department that he would be “moving to” the Reigate property: regular day-trips; infrequent weekends; and no greater residency in recess. His wife went there less frequently than he did. The property was furnished without reducing the scale of Lord Bhatia’s possessions (Q255) and with the intention of retaining the Hampton property for the purpose of attending the House (p44G). We have also already found that Lord Bhatia leased the Reigate property for the benefit of his brother. This was not an exercise in downsizing. 71. We find that Lord Bhatia’s designation of the Reigate property was a deliberate misrepresentation of his domestic arrangements made with the intention of enabling Lord Bhatia to make use of the night subsistence element of the members’ reimbursement scheme. Claims for the mileage allowance for journeys by car 72. We have set out above the facts of Lord Bhatia’s claims for the mileage allowance for journeys by car from and to Reigate (paragraph 38): for the first five months that Reigate was his designated main residence, he claimed for travel and, in particular, he claimed for journeys on days that he did not necessarily make them. 73. Lord Bhatia stopped claiming the mileage allowance at the end of February 2008 but continued to claim night subsistence until the end of the year. He stopped claiming the mileage allowance because the system was inflexible and did not meet his needs (QQ3; 213-14) and was too cumbersome (p48K). 74. Lord Bhatia suggested that his understanding of the scheme was that journeys to the main residence had to be claimed on a Friday and the return to London on a Monday (QQ161; 197; 211); and that he was entitled to a single return journey from and to his main residence irrespective of whether he had made the actual journey (Q190). He stressed this understanding of the rules (QQ156; 161; 163). He came to this understanding through his PA, who consulted the Finance Department (Q163)
372
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 3 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 5 th Report 2010 -12
2010
and prepared his claim forms for signature (Q170). He did not consult the Finance Department himself (Q169). 75. Lord Bhatia’s understanding of this element of the scheme is wrong. The wording of the Quick Guide is clear: “Members of the House of Lords... are entitled to recover the costs of travel... incurred in connection with their parliamentary duties... Travelling Expenses - These may be claimed for journeys between main place of residence in the United Kingdom and London” (p15B). The clarity of this provision is such that Lord Bhatia’s ostensible understanding of it was unreasonable. 76. In any event, Lord Bhatia’s claims do not bear out his ostensible understanding of the rules: he often claimed for journeys to Reigate on a day other than Friday (pp24-6; Q205) and he even did so in his own hand (p34E); he did not find the scheme so cumbersome as to deter him from claiming travel from Hampton (QQ249; 250). We thus consider that Lord Bhatia did not truly hold the understanding of the rules with which he presented us. 77. We find that Lord Bhatia made the five months of claims for the mileage allowance for journeys by car from and to the Reigate property with the intention of adding verisimilitude to his designation of that property as his main residence. Conclusion 78. We find that Lord Bhatia did not act in good faith in designating the Reigate property as his main residence and in claiming night subsistence and the mileage allowance for journeys by car from and to that property. Sanction 79. In terms of his designated main residence and claims for night subsistence, Lord Bhatia deliberately misrepresented his position to take advantage of the members’ reimbursement scheme. In terms of the mileage allowance, not only did Lord Bhatia make false claims but he presented the Sub-Committee with an understanding of the scheme which no reasonable person could hold; and he did so in an attempt to disguise the deliberate nature of his deception. 80. Lord Bhatia maintained throughout that he had acted honestly and in good faith; so he has not yet either repaid money or apologised. 81. We recommend that the House sanction Lord Bhatia by requiring him to make a personal statement of apology to the House and thereafter suspending him from the service of the House for one year or until he has repaid the sum of £27,446 wrongly claimed, whichever is the later. His apology must be unconditional, and agreed in advance with the Chairman of the Sub-Committee, to be sufficient. We consider that the suspension should be renewed in the next Parliament if Lord Bhatia has not repaid the money by the end of the current Parliament, but that can only be a matter for the next Parliament.

Introduction The Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct have investigated the conduct of Baroness Uddin. The Sub-Committee’s report is printed as an Appendix to this Report. The Sub-Committee’s investigation into the conduct of Lady Uddin should be read in parallel with its investigations in the conduct of Lord Bhatia and Lord Paul. All three cases arise out of articles originally appearing in The Sunday Times, and each raises similar issues. Each of the Sub-Committee’s reports contains similar background analysis (for instance, of the rules governing the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme 1). But, however similar the issues, the facts of each case are wholly distinct and have required separate consideration. The Sub-Committee, and we ourselves, have therefore prepared three separate reports. Process The process followed in this case is summarised in paragraphs 5–6 of the SubCommittee’s report. The original allegations against Lady Uddin appeared on 3 May 2009; a complaint was made the same day by Angus Robertson MP. The initial investigation was conducted by the Clerk of the Parliaments as Accounting Officer, but was then suspended while a separate investigation was conducted by the Metropolitan Police Service. Following a decision by the Metropolitan Police Service and Crown Prosecution Service not to prosecute Lady Uddin, announced on 12 March 2010, the Clerk of the Parliaments immediately asked the Sub-Committee “to investigate and determine the facts of the case”. The procedure in these cases follows that agreed by the House in December 2008 2, whereby the Clerk of the Parliaments can request the assistance of the Sub-Committee in investigating complaints which he considers “complex or serious”. As a Sub-Committee of the Committee for Privileges and Conduct, the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct normally reports to the parent Committee. But, as this case was referred to the Sub-Committee by the Clerk of the Parliaments, the Sub-Committee reported to the Clerk of the Parliaments. He, given the nature of the sanctions recommended by the Sub-Committee, forwarded the report in turn to this Committee. The Sub-Committee, following an investigation which had been interrupted by the dissolution of Parliament, sent its report to the Clerk of the Parliaments on 28 July. The Sub-Committee also recommended that, in order to preserve
All references in this Report to the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme refer to the Scheme that applied until 30 September 2010. As a result of a motion agreed by the House on 20 July 2010, the day subsistence, night subsistence and office costs elements within the Scheme were combined in a new daily allowance, with effect from 1 October 2010. 2 The Code of Conduct: procedure for considering complaints against Members, Committee for Privileges, 4th Report, session 2007–08 (HL Paper 205). Hereafter referred to as the “Report on procedure”.

confidentiality, the Clerk of the Parliaments should not disclose the report to any other person until late in the summer recess. He accordingly forwarded the report to the staff of this Committee in late September, and a copy was at once sent to Lady Uddin, on 21 September. She was at the same time notified of her right to appeal against the Sub-Committee’s findings to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. She submitted her appeal on 5 October, also indicating her wish to appear in person before the Select Committee at its meeting on 11 October. Although the Sub-Committee’s report was forwarded to this Committee in its entirety, certain matters covered in it relate to the administration of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme (for instance, the changes which the SubCommittee indicates were made to the Scheme in April 2009, referred to in paragraphs 27 and 90–91 of the Sub-Committee’s report), rather than to the privileges of the House or the Code of Conduct. It is for the House Committee, as the Committee responsible for the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme, to take forward these matters, on which we make no recommendations. Our responsibility is to address the conduct of Members who are alleged to have breached rules agreed by the House, and, where appropriate, to recommend sanctions to the House as a whole. The House has previously resolved that it “possesses the same disciplinary powers in respect of breaches of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme as in respect of breaches of the Code of Conduct or of other rules of conduct adopted by the House”. 1 The Sub-Committee’s findings The focus of the investigation has been Lady Uddin’s use of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme since 3 May 2005 (in other words, exactly four years before the complaint was received). The Sub-Committee has divided this period into three periods: •
During the first period (3 May 2005 to 31 July 2005) Lady Uddin designated a house in Frinton on Sea, Essex, as her main residence. The house is owned by Lady Uddin’s brother and sister-in-law, who have lived there since 1999.
•
During the second period (lasting altogether from 1 August 2005 until 1 January 2010) Lady Uddin designated a flat in Maidstone, Kent, as her main residence. The Sub-Committee has sub-divided this period into further periods, up to and after 24 April 2009, the date on which Lady Uddin became aware of the Sunday Times’ interest in her main residence.
•
Since 1 January 2010 Lady Uddin has designated a property in Wapping, London, as her main residence. This property, a three-bedroom house rented from a housing association, has been Lady Uddin’s family home since 1993, and there is no question that she is entitled to designate it as her main residence.
According to Lady’s Uddin’s own account, she started using the Frinton property as a “bolt-hole” in around 2000. She designated it as her “main residence” in 2001, but continued to live in the family home during the week, spending most weekends in Frinton. She had her own room in the house, and lived as part of the family.

The house in Frinton was owned and occupied by her brother and sister-in-law; although it was available to her as a bolt-hole, her family home remained in London. The Sub-Committee concluded that Lady Uddin did not have a sufficient connection with the Frinton property to designate it as her main residence. In 2005 Lady Uddin bought the flat in Maidstone, and told the Sub-Committee that her purpose in so doing was to acquire a bolt-hole of her own. The Maidstone flat is the only property owned by Lady Uddin. Having designated it as her main residence, she claimed night subsistence for time spent away from Maidstone every week when the House was sitting; she claimed the mileage allowance for journeys to and from Maidstone every weekend when the House was sitting. The Sub-Committee’s findings of fact in respect of the Maidstone flat, up to 24 April 2009, are set out in paragraphs 101-105 of its report. On the one hand the Sub-Committee had Lady Uddin’s own evidence, given either in writing or orally, along with the details of her claims. On the other hand, it had transcripts of interviews covertly recorded by The Sunday Times, and extensive evidence, including formal witness statements, collected in the course of the police investigation. The Sub-Committee placed considerable weight on these statements, made for the most part by neighbours of Lady Uddin in Maidstone. Our conclusions on the status of these statements are set out in paragraphs 34– 40 below. Lady Uddin told the Sub-Committee that she had stayed overnight in Maidstone almost every weekend when the House was sitting. However, the SubCommittee pointed to several inconsistencies and contradictions within her evidence at different times (paragraph 103). The Sub-Committee did not itself examine the other witnesses, and acknowledged that it was unable to form judgments as to their individual credibility. However, taking into account the high level of consistency between the witness statements, and between those statements and the interviews recorded by The Sunday Times, the SubCommittee decided that it could “rely on the essence of these witness statements taken as a whole” (paragraph 104). These statements “together prove, well beyond the balance of probabilities, that Lady Uddin in this period did not stay at the Maidstone property for the minimum of one weekend per month over the year when the House was sitting.” The Sub-Committee concluded, on the basis of this finding, that Lady Uddin was wrong to designate the Maidstone flat as her main residence. On 24 April 2009 Lady Uddin became aware of the Sunday Times’ interest in the Maidstone flat. From this point there is clear evidence of frequent visits to the flat. However, taking the circumstances into account, the Sub-Committee concluded that her presence in Maidstone increased “only in an attempt to suggest that the property was and had been her main residence since August 2005”. The Sub-Committee therefore found that, notwithstanding the frequency of her visits, the flat still “did not acquire the character of a main residence within any natural meaning of the words”. The Sub-Committee then considered whether Lady Uddin acted in good faith in making her designations and claims (paragraphs 113–117). For reasons which are set out in more detail below, we consider these paragraphs to be particularly crucial. The Sub-Committee concluded that the interpretation advanced by Lady Uddin of the term “main residence” was itself unreasonable; and moreover that

her designation of both the Frinton and Maidstone properties as “main residences” was “a deliberate misrepresentation of her position even on the basis of her understanding of the scheme”. Her travel claims, in the Sub-Committee’s view, were made only “with the intention of adding verisimilitude to her designation of her main residences”. In total, the Sub-Committee calculated that she wrongly claimed £125,349.10 over the period in question. In conclusion, the Sub-Committee recommended that Lady Uddin be required to make a personal statement of apology to the House; and that she be suspended from the service of the House for three years or until she has repaid the sum of £125,349.10, whichever is the later (paragraph 123). Lady Uddin’s appeal Lady Uddin’s appeal, signed on her behalf by Thompsons Solicitors and Gavin Millar QC, challenges the Sub-Committee’s interpretation of the facts in detail. In particular the appeal analyses at length the interviews recorded by The Sunday Times, and the witness statements made to the police, with a view to demonstrating that the Sunday Times journalists asked leading or slanted questions, encouraging biased and unreliable responses; and that the witness statements contradict each other and also contradict the earlier interviews with The Sunday Times. The appeal also notes that the Sub-Committee did not bring forward any clear evidence that Lady Uddin was not in the flat on any of the days when she claimed to be there (such as evidence to show that she was in another part of the country). To paraphrase this element within the appeal, the evidence advanced to show that Lady Uddin did not go to the flat constitutes an attempt to “prove a negative”. The appeal sets out a number of other specific grounds of appeal. These may be summarised as follows. Procedural failures Lady Uddin’s appeal says that the Sub-Committee acted unfairly, in particular that it failed to comply with the requirement, in the 2001 Code of Conduct, that Members under investigation be afforded procedural safeguards as rigorous as those applied in the courts and disciplinary bodies. For instance, the SubCommittee failed to test the statements provided by other witnesses, in the way that Lady Uddin’s evidence was tested in the course of her meeting with the SubCommittee.
22.
Bias The appeal says that the witnesses were biased against Lady Uddin, by the initial questioning by the Sunday Times journalists and by the subsequent publicity.
23.
Standard of proof The appeal also argues that the Sub-Committee should have applied the criminal standard of proof to this case, on the basis that “in the public eye the decision of the House will be tantamount to conviction for a criminal offence”.

Lack of evidence in respect of Frinton The appeal notes that the witness statements relate only to Lady Uddin’s Maidstone property; the Sub-Committee’s reasoning on the Maidstone flat “cannot be relied upon to draw adverse inference as to Lady Uddin’s credibility in relation to [Frinton].” Even if Lady Uddin erred in designating the property in Frinton as her main residence, she did so honestly, and on the basis of advice from her Chief Whip. Lady Uddin’s appeal then addresses the recommended sanction. It states that she does not have the means to repay £125,349.10, and that in practice therefore the sanction will result in indefinite suspension from the House. It is suggested that such a sanction is “arbitrary”, given that the SubCommittee “made no enquiry of Lady Uddin’s means before recommending [it]”. The appeal also argues that “it is … wrong in principle that the length of a suspension should depend upon the Member’s means”. Evidence taken before the Committee for Privileges and Conduct Lady Uddin appeared before this Committee on 11 October 2010. A full transcript of her evidence is printed in this volume (see p 218). Conduct of the Sub-Committee Although not part of her Appeal, Lady Uddin also submitted as evidence a statement by Baroness McDonagh, who accompanied her when she gave evidence to the Sub-Committee. Lady McDonagh alleges that the SubCommittee’s procedures in the course of the meeting were inadequate, poorly explained or unfair (see pp 215F). The Sub-Committee had already addressed these issues in general terms (paragraph 13 of the report), but in order to be fair to the Sub-Committee we invited its Chairman, Baroness Manningham-Buller, to respond to the specific allegations. Her letter to the Chairman of Committees is printed at p 216G. Lady McDonagh’s allegations were not presented to us as a ground of appeal, and we have not been required to reach a formal decision on them. The views of the Committee

The standard of proof Lady Uddin’s appeal argues that the Sub-Committee should have applied (and, by implication, this Committee should apply) the criminal standard of proof (“beyond reasonable doubt”) to this case. Instead, the Sub-Committee applied the test set out in the Report on procedure: “in order to find against a Member, the Sub-Committee requires at least that the allegation is proved on the balance of probabilities”. This Report, and the procedure it describes, was agreed by the House on 18 December 2008. The words “at least”, in the passage just quoted, indicate that there is an element of flexibility inherent within this standard of proof. This was confirmed in our Report on the conduct of Lords Moonie, Snape, Truscott and Taylor of Blackburn: 11. The standard of proof we have adopted in deciding whether to uphold or reject the Sub-Committee’s findings has been the same as that applied by the Sub-Committee: in other words, while taking the civil standard of proof, the balance of probabilities, as the appropriate standard, we have, in the light of the seriousness of the allegations, taken the view that particularly

strong evidence should be required before we may be satisfied that the allegations are proved. 1 This Report was agreed by the House on 20 May 2009. Finally, the Guide to the new Code of Conduct, which came into force at the start of the present Parliament (and which will apply to any future investigations), states: 119. The civil standard of proof is adopted at all stages in the enforcement process, not only by the Commissioner, but by the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct and the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. Thus, in order to find against a Member, the Commissioner will require at least that the allegation is proved on the balance of probabilities. 2 This Report was agreed by the House on 16 March 2010. In other words, the House has three times explicitly endorsed the principle that the civil standard of proof should be adopted in such investigations, while acknowledging that within the civil standard a substantial degree of flexibility is allowed in judging the strength of evidence required to justify a finding against a Member. This is entirely appropriate: these are internal disciplinary proceedings, and the sanctions to which Members may be subject (including suspension from the House for a period not exceeding the lifetime of the current Parliament) are also internal in character. No criminal liability follows from such a finding. Nor is there any read-across, in either direction, between, for instance, our findings in this case and the conclusions reached by the Director of Public Prosecutions (on which Lady Uddin seeks to rely in paragraph 45 of her appeal). Our approach to the question of the appropriate standard of proof is entirely consistent with the approach taken in the courts. 3 We reiterate the principle that the standard of proof adopted in investigations should be that set out in the Guide to the Code of Conduct, namely that the allegation should be proved at least on the balance of probabilities. We have therefore dismissed this element of Lady Uddin’s appeal. Procedural failures and bias Lady Uddin alleges that the witnesses who made statements in the course of the police investigation were biased against her, by the initial questioning by the Sunday Times journalists and by the subsequent publicity. She also points to some contradictions either within or between some of those statements. She argues that the procedure adopted in her case was unfair, in that the SubCommittee failed to test the evidence provided by these witnesses, and did not afford her an opportunity, either personally or through Counsel, to do so.

The Report on procedure, following the 2001 Code of Conduct, states that “in the investigation and adjudication of complaints against them, Members of the House have the right to safeguards as rigorous as those applied in the courts and professional disciplinary bodies”. The new Code of Conduct adopted in 2009, while it omits this provision, states that all those involved in investigating allegations against Members “shall act in accordance with the principles of natural justice and fairness”. The Report on procedure also stated that “every effort is made to keep proceedings informal”. This creates a tension, between, on the one hand, the assurance of procedural safeguards to Members, and, on the other, the House’s explicit endorsement of the principle that internal investigations should not be treated as court proceedings, but should remain informal and inquisitorial, rather than adversarial, in nature. We consider that the Sub-Committee acted in the present case fully in accordance with the procedures agreed by the House. However, as we have noted, inherent in those procedures is a tension. In seeking to reconcile that tension, we have concluded that, as a point of principle, it is not fair to draw adverse conclusions as to a Member’s conduct, on the basis of hearsay evidence that has not been tested. In our Report of May 2009 1 we relied heavily on covert recordings of conversations between undercover journalists and the four Members concerned. In that case the four Members were judged on their own words: however the recordings had been obtained, there was no doubt that they had spoken the words recorded in the various transcripts. They had ample opportunity to account for those words in the course of the investigation. In the present case we have been presented with third-party statements. We intend no reflection on the quality of those statements—we simply consider that without testing the statements further it would be not be procedurally fair to draw conclusions from them. We have therefore upheld this element within Lady Uddin’s appeal, and have attached no weight to the transcripts provided by The Sunday Times, and the witness statements supplied by the police, in determining this case. We recognise that the conclusion just reached raises serious questions as to the process for future investigations. However, a new procedure is now in place: there will be no more investigations under the 2001 Code. Under this new procedure, the investigation is conducted by the Commissioner for Standards, who presents findings of fact and his conclusions as to possible breaches of the Code to the Sub-Committee. We recommend that, in light of our conclusions on the present case, the Commissioner and the SubCommittee review the procedure agreed in March 2010, with a view to establishing processes by means of which all relevant evidence may be taken into account, while ensuring fair treatment for any Member accused of misconduct.

Findings of fact Having attached no weight to the witness statements and other third-party evidence, we must now consider Lady Uddin’s own evidence, oral and written, along with her original claim forms. In so doing, we have paid particular attention to the Sub-Committee’s analysis of her understanding of the term “main residence” in paragraphs 113–117 of its report. The key issue in this case is whether or not Lady Uddin’s designation of her brother’s house in Frinton on Sea and, later, the flat in Maidstone as “main residences”, was based on a tenable and genuinely held understanding of the meaning of that term. The underlying purpose of night subsistence payments was clear. They were intended to enable Members who lived outside London, but who, in order to attend sittings of the House, were required to stay within London (whether by staying in temporary accommodation or by acquiring a permanent residence), to recover some of the costs incurred in so doing: 4.4.1 Members whose main residence is outside Greater London may claim for expenses of overnight accommodation in London while away from their only or main residence ... 4.4.2 A Member whose main residence is outside Greater London and who maintains a residence in London for the purpose of attending sittings of the House may claim this allowance towards the cost of maintaining such a residence.
44.
45.
46.
These payments were not intended to enable Members who lived inside London to acquire properties outside London and designate these as their “main residences”, thereby establishing an entitlement to claim additional money from the House, while continuing to live inside London. It is a common element in the three cases we have been considering that in each case the Members concerned had long-established London residences, in which they spent the bulk of their time, before acquiring a “main residence” outside London, in which they spent a much smaller portion of their time. Lady Uddin told us that she came to this country from Bangladesh at the age of 13, and that since that time her family has been settled in East London (Appeal, Q 1). Her connection with East London is strong, and her family home remains the house in Wapping, in which she has lived since 1993. In evidence to the SubCommittee, she acknowledged that she had been “based in London over a long period of time”, and that, because of changing family circumstances, she needed what she repeatedly described as a “bolt hole” outside London. For a time she rented a flat in Windsor as a bolt hole; she later stayed with her brother in Frinton on Sea; later still she acquired the Maidstone flat. None of these actions affected the basic fact that her home, her family and her social life were in London. She told the Sub-Committee that she discussed her position with her Chief Whip at the time (Lord Carter) and her mentor (Baroness Pitkeathley), and that she acted “on their advice” (Q 222). She never sought the advice of the Finance Department on the rules (Q 225). When asked whether she did not have a responsibility to check her interpretation against the rules, she initially accepted that she did, before again referring to the advice she said had been given to her by colleagues. But Lord Carter is dead, and Lady Pitkeathley has provided a statement, in which she says that “I certainly don’t remember ever discussing with her the definition of ‘main residence’” (p 164E). It is therefore impossible to

substantiate Lady Uddin’s claim that she was advised by colleagues to designate a property outside London as her “main residence”. Nevertheless, under detailed questioning by the Sub-Committee, Lady Uddin consistently attributed her actions to the advice she was given (see QQ 219–237). For instance, asked why the Maidstone flat was her “main residence”, she replied: “Because that was my understanding. That was the advice I had been given once I had described my circumstances and so I was told that these are the rules as laid out” (Q 230). Throughout these exchanges, Lady Uddin failed to advance, on her own behalf, any justification for describing these properties as “main residences”. Ultimately, her explanation was that she had “two homes” and “two lives” (Q 237); however, this does not explain how, in balancing the demands of these “two homes”, she came to designate one rather than the other as her “main residence”. It is telling that in the course of these exchanges Lady Uddin described the Maidstone flat as her “main bolt hole” (Q 236). The term occurs throughout her evidence and the Sub-Committee’s report. In presenting her appeal, Lady Uddin put the following gloss upon it: “It was a place of sanctuary, a place of home, a place where I felt safe—all those things ... I took it to be important—a place of safety, a place that was critical to my survival.” (Appeal, Q 6) The Sub-Committee’s commentary on this point, reached in the context of Lady Uddin’s designation of her brother’s house in Frinton, was as follows: 99. We accept that the Frinton property was of great value to her as a “bolt hole”. Due however to her return on each occasion to her children and husband in the week, we do not accept that the property ever acquired the character of a main residence for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme. We would go a step further. We do not consider that a “bolt hole”, as described by Lady Uddin, could fall within any natural understanding of the term “main residence”. A bolt hole is merely a place of escape. We are aware of the minimum requirement on frequency of visits agreed by the House Committee, and applied by the Clerk of the Parliaments in his investigations, namely that “the main residence had to be visited for a minimum of one weekend per month over the year when the House was sitting and for periods during recesses” (quoted at paragraph 87 of the Sub-Committee report). But this requirement is not, and was never intended to be, a definition of “main residence”. It is simply a minimum requirement, intended to be incorporated “into [the Clerk of the Parliaments’] assessment of cases where frequency of visit was an issue”. 1 Frequency of visits is not an issue in a case such as the present, where no reasonable or defensible understanding of the term “main residence” has been advanced. We therefore endorse the Sub-Committee’s finding that “The clear purpose of the scheme is the recovery of expenses necessarily incurred in attending the House when away from one’s ‘main residence’ on any natural meaning of those words. Lady Uddin’s understanding of the scheme defeats its objective and her understanding of ‘main residence’ is unreasonable” (paragraph 115). She was therefore wrong to claim money from the House in respect of either the Frinton or Maidstone properties. We must consider also the Sub-Committee’s finding that in so doing, Lady Uddin acted in bad faith. She says that she acted on advice, but admits that at no House Committee minutes, quoted at paragraph 87 of the Sub-Committee’s report.

2010
stage did she seek the advice of the House authorities. Despite being repeatedly asked about the term “main residence”, she has at no stage demonstrated an understanding of the term falling within its natural meaning. In the words of the Sub-Committee, “Lady Uddin’s understanding of the scheme was that she could designate as her main residence anywhere where she was staying at weekends if it could be considered her home. If one had more than one residence, it was a question of election: ‘main’ had no meaning.” While Lady Uddin told us of her bitter regret at any part she had played in the damage done to the public perception of Parliament. She has not acknowledged that she acted wrongly in making the claims, and has offered only “a sincere and abject apology if I have in any way, without any intention, by following what I thought was the right thing to do, broken the House rules”. We dismiss Lady Uddin’s appeal against the Sub-Committee’s finding that she wrongly claimed £125,349.10 in night subsistence and mileage allowance; instead, we endorse that finding. We further find that Lady Uddin did not make her claims for night subsistence away from the properties and for the mileage allowance in good faith. Sanction The Sub-Committee has recommended “that the House sanction Lady Uddin by requiring her to make a personal statement of apology to the House and thereafter suspending her from the service of the House for three years or until she has repaid the amount wrongly claimed whichever is the later.” As a point of principle, and regardless of the circumstances of the present case, we have decided that the length of suspension should not be determined by reference to the time of repayment. Repayment is not a sanction: it is an act of restitution, the returning of money wrongly claimed and paid. The over-riding priority must be that this money should be returned to the House, and thus to the public purse. Lady Uddin’s appeal makes the point that she does not have the means to repay so large a sum. We are not in a position to comment on her financial circumstances, but it is clear that the sanction recommended by the Sub-Committee risks having the effect of preventing her indefinitely from returning to the House. Not only is there a danger that an “indefinite suspension” could exceed the powers of the House, which are limited to suspension “for a defined period not longer than the remainder of the current Parliament” 1, but there is also a possibility that an indefinite suspension would result in the money never being recovered. We endorse the finding that Lady Uddin has wrongly claimed, and has received, the sum of £125,349.10, to which she was not entitled. The recovery of this money is not a disciplinary matter, and so is not a matter for this Committee. We therefore recommend that it is for the Clerk of the Parliaments, as Accounting Officer, consulting the House Committee as necessary, to consider what arrangements with Lady Uddin may be necessary to secure repayment of this sum to the House. With regard to apology and suspension, we consider that the greater penalty, suspension, renders the lesser, apology, unnecesary. Nor would it be fair, in a case where the Member concerned has maintained his or her innocence of any

misconduct, to require an apology immediately prior to suspension. We therefore confine our recommended sanction to suspension. In considering the appropriate length of suspension in Lady Uddin’s case, we have placed due weight on the Sub-Committee’s recommendation. We are fully aware of the seriousness of the present case, in particular the lengthy period over which claims were made wrongly and in bad faith. But we are also aware that the only suspensions imposed by the House hitherto, in May 2009, were for the remainder of the 2009-10 session (just under six months, of which over two months fell in recess). A suspension of three years is of a different order, and much longer also than the suspensions recommended in the other two cases we have considered with this one. We have also taken into account the fact that the House has no power to suspend a Member for longer than the remainder of the Parliament. Even in a five-year Parliament, a suspension for three years could not be imposed after the first two years. In other words, the imposition of a suspension of that duration would set a “tariff” that, for most of a five-year Parliament, would exceed the maximum duration of suspension available to the House. Thus, while fully acknowledging the seriousness of this case, we do not consider a three-year suspension appropriate. We recommend that Baroness Uddin be suspended from the service of the House until the end of the current session of Parliament. We understand that the session is to continue until Easter 2012. Redaction The Sub-Committee reported that Lady Uddin has requested the redaction of certain sensitive material in the report and evidence, in particular material relating to her family circumstances. The Sub-Committee felt that this material was essential to its analysis of the facts of the case, and therefore rejected her request, while inviting us to consider the redaction of other material, specifically that relating to her children. We have decided to accede to Lady Uddin’s original request, on the basis that these materials are of only tangential relevance to our main findings in this case. We have also decided to redact certain personal address details, both of Lady Uddin, and of her family and neighbours. All such redactions are indicated by the blocking out of the relevant text.
APPENDIX: REPORT FROM THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON LORDS’ CONDUCT Members’ reimbursement scheme: the conduct of Baroness Uddin Introduction and summary 1.

Sub-Committee on Lords’ Interests 1 to help him investigate a complaint about Baroness Uddin’s use of the members’ reimbursement scheme. 2. We find that the facts of Lady Uddin’s occupation of her designated main residences for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme both in Frinton and in Maidstone did not meet the criteria endorsed by the House Committee on 26 January 2010 (p16E) 2. She wrongly claimed £125,349.10 and should be required to repay this amount. We further find that Lady Uddin did not make her claims for night subsistence away from the properties and for the mileage allowance in good faith. We recommend that the House sanction Lady Uddin by requiring her to make a personal statement of apology to the House and thereafter suspending her from the service of the House for three years or until she has repaid the amount wrongly claimed, whichever is the later. The allegation, complaint and process of investigation Allegation and complaint 3. On 3 May 2009, the Sunday Times newspaper alleged that Lady Uddin had designated as her main residence a flat in Kent which neighbours said had been unoccupied for years (p44): “A Labour peer who lives in the East End of London has claimed about £100,000 in parliamentary expenses on a flat in Kent that neighbours say has been unoccupied for years ... Inquiries by The Sunday Times have established that the Lady bought a two-bedroom flat in Maidstone in 2005 and has named it as her main home to claim almost £30,000 a year in accommodation expenses from the House of Lords. Residents from the five other flats in the same block as Uddin’s property all say they have never seen her there. They could see through the windows that the bedrooms were unfurnished.” 4. Mr Angus Robertson MP complained about Lady Uddin’s alleged conduct on 3 May 2009 (p45). Procedure for investigation of allegations about expenses 5. The House Committee is the principal domestic committee of the House and is responsible for the members’ reimbursement scheme (p5B). On 20 October 2009, the Committee endorsed a procedure for dealing with complaints relating to the scheme (p15H). It involved investigation by the Clerk of the Parliaments as Accounting Officer; reference to this Sub-Committee in “complex or serious” 3 cases; report by the Clerk of the Parliaments to the House Committee; and sanctioning by the Committee for Privileges if appropriate (p16B). On 6 July 2010, the Clerk of the Parliaments and House Committee agreed to stand aside in this and two other cases where this SubCommittee had been involved: thus this report goes via the Clerk of the Parliaments to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct, to whom lies Lady Uddin’s right of appeal 4. 1
In the last Parliament, the Sub-Committee was styled the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Interests; it is now styled the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct. 2 The references in this report to the printed evidence are in the form “p16E” and “Q114”. The former refers to page 16 of the printed evidence at letter E; the latter to question number 114 in the transcript of oral evidence. 3 Report on procedure paragraph 11 bullet 2: “Matters relating to the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme are the responsibility of the Clerk of the Parliaments, as Accounting Officer for the House of Lords. In exceptional circumstances he may request the Sub-Committee to assist him in investigating a complex or serious complaint”. 4 House of Lords Code of Conduct, adopted on Monday 2 July 2001 paragraph 19(e): “If after the investigation the Sub-Committee finds the allegation proved, the Member complained against has a right of appeal to the Committee for Privileges”; the report on procedure paragraphs 32-37 sets out the appeal procedure.

Procedure in this investigation 6. On 5 May 2009, the Lord President (Lady Royall of Blaisdon) announced that the Clerk of the Parliaments, as Accounting Officer, would carry out an initial investigation into the allegations against Lady Uddin 1. Lady Uddin then met and corresponded with the Clerk of the Parliaments in relation to his investigation. The Metropolitan Police had meanwhile decided to investigate whether Lady Uddin had committed an offence under section 17 of the Theft Act 1968 or the Fraud Act 2006. The Clerk of the Parliaments suspended his own investigation into Lady Uddin until the criminal process had concluded. On 12 March 2010 a joint Crown Prosecution Service/Metropolitan Police Service panel decided not to prosecute Lady Uddin and the Clerk of the Parliaments resumed his own investigation; he immediately asked the Sub-Committee to “investigate and determine the facts of the complaint” (p56J). Investigation by the Sub-Committee 7. The report on procedure says that we may not accept for investigation a complaint going back more than four years2: we may thus examine conduct in this case from 3 May 2005. We have not limited our investigation to the allegation made by the Sunday Times newspaper but have instead generally investigated Lady Uddin’s use of the members’ reimbursement scheme. We have focused on Lady Uddin’s claims for night subsistence and travel. Lady Uddin’s claims for day subsistence, office costs and Select Committee expenses are not at issue. 8. Our investigation was interrupted by the dissolution of Parliament on 12 April 2010. The new House met on 18 May and appointed the Committee for Privileges and Conduct on 2 June. The Committee appointed this Sub-Committee on 7 June. We reported to the Clerk of the Parliaments on 28 July with the recommendation that, to retain confidentiality during the summer recess without affecting the timetable for any appeal, he should forward the report to the Chairman of the Committee for Privileges and Conduct only towards the end of the summer recess. Procedural fairness 9. Lady Uddin, in correspondence with the Registrar, stressed her concern that the investigation might be unfair (p60G): “I am told that the enquiry into my affairs has been occasioned by an article appearing in the Sunday Times. This does not seem to me to be appropriate when others have had the opportunity simply to have their explanations accepted by Mr Pownall. My case appears to have been singled out for special treatment. I simply do not understand why that is the case when I have satisfied the criteria set out above. I am deeply concerned as to how the adjudication the committee is to undertake can respect the principle of natural justice and the requirements of a fair trial when there has been such extensive media coverage, both of my own affairs and of the criteria applied by Mr Pownall.

Lady Uddin told us that, in the light of the allegation, she referred herself for investigation (pp60C; 66D) but there is no record of such a reference. 2 Report on procedure, paragraph 11 bullet 4.

First, at the time of announcement of the cessation of the criminal investigation into my affairs, Mr Pownall made unprecedented public comment on the criteria he had set for the purpose of the House’s internal investigations. He went on to add to the standards he had previously published and remarked that his standards were not intended to apply to the criminal investigation. I ask how it can be appropriate for criteria to be determined as investigations proceed and for the Officer responsible then to comment on their application in the media. Secondly, it seems to me that wide spread media coverage has involved a public debate of the merits of my expenses and allowances claim. That cannot be fair.” 10. She continues in her statement (p62K): 25. Whilst respecting the absolute authority of the House and its procedures I have failed to understand why some explanations made by some members in respect of their allowances have been accepted by the Clerk of the Parliaments, Mr Pownall, in February 2010 whilst claims made by myself have been the subject of such intense scrutiny.

She further complains that she was given insufficient opportunity to consult her friend during the oral evidence session; and that the deadlines we set for her thereafter were too tight (pp201L; 198L; 201E). 12. Lady Uddin has been referred to this Sub-Committee when others were not because her case was investigated by the police but the others were not. The Clerk of the Parliaments considered that any case investigated by the police fell into the “complex or serious” category and so required the Sub-Committee’s assistance 1. In endorsing the Clerk of the Parliaments’ approach to certain cases, the House Committee “concluded that the Clerk was justified in relying on explicit written assurances from Members, noting that the consequences for a Member found to have misled the Clerk would be serious” (p16K). 13. We have been careful to follow the requirements of the report on procedure, especially in relation to procedural safeguards. We have taken no account of media coverage of Lady Uddin save that the allegation about her use of the members’ reimbursement scheme was made in the initial article. We consider the question of precedent and the decided cases at paragraphs 87-92. In our opinion, the process in this case has been fair and appropriate. Lady Uddin’s concerns about the conduct of the evidence session and subsequent timetable are for the Committee for Privileges and Conduct to consider on any appeal. Evidence 14. The Sub-Committee had as written evidence the amounts claimed by Lady Uddin since April 2001 (p47A) and her claim forms since March 2006 2 (pp31-43); correspondence between the House authorities and Lady Uddin (p46-67); a letter 1
Report from the Committee for Privileges on the procedure for considering complaints against Members (4th Report 2007-08 HL Paper 205) paragraph 11; see also paragraph 5 of this report. 2 The amounts paid to all members each financial year under each head of the members’ reimbursement scheme since April 2001 are published on the Parliament website. The House of Lords Finance Department has retained the amounts paid each month to members under each head since April 2003 and has retained claim forms since March 2006; all members’ earlier claim forms have been disposed of in accordance with the department’s disposal policy.

from the Sunday Times and transcripts of most 1 of the telephone conversations and interviews on which their article was based (pp68F-101); and witness statements taken by the Metropolitan Police Service in the course of their investigation of Lady Uddin (pp103-63). We welcome the constructive approach of the police in taking the difficult decision to release to us the material they gathered. The officers of the Sub-Committee corresponded with Lady Uddin. We took oral evidence in private from Lady Uddin, to whom we had earlier disclosed the written evidence. The report on procedure says 2: “Procedural safeguards 25. The Code of Conduct states that “in the investigation and adjudication of complaints against them, Members of the House have the right to safeguards as rigorous as those applied in the courts and professional disciplinary bodies.” They may be accompanied to any meeting by a colleague, friend or legal adviser, but every effort is made to keep proceedings informal, and there is no expectation that they should be so accompanied. If they do choose to bring a friend or adviser, they will nevertheless be expected to answer for themselves (and not through their friend or adviser) any questions put to them.” 15. Lady Uddin brought Lady McDonagh with her to the evidence session. 16. We recommend that all of this evidence be published, subject only to giving the police sufficient time to allow them to inform those from whom they took statements. Redaction 17. The police rightly redacted certain personal information in the witness statements which they provided to the Sub-Committee, including addresses. We have printed the statements as received, without adapting them into House style (pp103-63). Using the contents of the statements, the material provided by the Sunday Times and publically available information including the electoral roll, we have recreated the addresses of those of Lady Uddin’s neighbours who gave statements. We have used the addresses in this report and in the contents page of the evidence volume. We have done so because knowledge of each witness’s address is important to attributing credibility and weight to each statement. 18. Lady Uddin asked us to redact certain details in this report and the evidence (p202A). We have not done so because we consider it important to submit a complete account to the Clerk of the Parliaments and Committee for Privileges and Conduct. The Committee for Privileges and Conduct, when considering in what form to report to the House, may wish to consider whether to redact information about Lady Uddin’s children. The facts 19. The report on procedure says 3: “Assessing the evidence 1
The Sunday Times also supplied the Sub-Committee with the recordings on which their transcripts were based. We did not rely on the newspaper’s transcripts but commissioned our own. Those published as evidence were either corrected or created by the clerks. We did not receive the recording of one interview: the printed transcript of that interview is marked as unverified. A journalist also appears to have interviewed Lady Uddin at least once by telephone (Q37) but we were not provided with any record of any such conversation. 2 Report on procedure, paragraph 25. 3 Report on procedure, paragraphs 26 to 28.

26. When its investigation is concluded, the Sub-Committee assesses the evidence. In order to find against a Member, the Sub-Committee requires at least that the allegation is proved on the balance of probabilities. 27. If the investigation has uncovered material evidence that is at variance with the Member’s version of events, this will be put to the Member, who will have a chance to challenge it. Before reaching its conclusions, the SubCommittee will also share with the Member a draft of those parts of its report dealing with issues of fact, so that the Member has an opportunity to comment on them. 28. If there remain significant contested issues of fact, the Sub-Committee will agree its own account of the facts of the case, while drawing to the attention of the Committee for Privileges and the House any challenge to this account made by the Member concerned.” 20. To fulfil these paragraphs, we showed Lady Uddin a draft of our account of the facts set out in paragraphs 21 to 85. She challenged a number of points in our draft. We have taken account of some but not all of her points in the version below and, as required, we draw attention to the memoranda by Lady Uddin printed at pp198J and 203C. 21. The facts of the case are as follows. The members’ reimbursement scheme 22. The members’ reimbursement scheme is founded on resolutions of the House and is explained in a General Guide published by the Finance Department and in a Quick Guide set out on the reverse of the claim form. The Clerk of the Parliaments is responsible for administering the scheme, subject to direction by the House Committee on points of difficulty or doubt (p5B). The relevant resolutions and guidance are set out in full at pp1-15 of the printed evidence but we must here quote some relevant passages. The resolutions of the House and published guidance 23. The principal resolution of the House in relation to day and night subsistence is that of 25 July 1991 (p1D). It reads: “(1) Members of this House, except any Lord who receives a salary under the Ministerial and other Salaries Act 1975 and the Chairman and Principal Deputy Chairman of Committees, shall be entitled to recover (in addition to the costs of travel for which other provision is made) expenses certified by them as— (a) expenses incurred (otherwise than as mentioned in sub-paragraph (b) below) for the purpose of attendance at sittings of this House or of Committees of this House, or (b) expenses incurred in staying overnight away from their only or main residence where it is necessary to do so for that purpose.”
24. The principle that a member may claim a separate allowance towards the recovery of the cost of travel by car for the purpose of parliamentary duties was established by a resolution of the House of 17 May 1961 (p1A). The current resolution relating to travel by car is that of 10 November 2004 (p2C). It reads: “That this House approves the following proposals with respect to payments of car, bicycle and motorcycle allowances to Lords for journeys which they have commenced on or after 10 November 2004—
2010
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 4 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 6 th Report 2010 -12
389
(1) The maximum allowance payable in respect of a journey by car, motorcycle or bicycle should be payable at the rate which is applicable to that kind of vehicle under subsection (2) of section 230 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, as amended from time to time. (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the reference in that subsection to “the first 10,000 miles” is to the total number of miles of travel by car by the Lord claiming the allowance, which is either— (a) undertaken for the purpose of attending this House for the purposes of his parliamentary duties, or (b) undertaken while on parliamentary duties within the United Kingdom.”
25. It is clear from the resolutions that the purpose of the scheme is the recovery of expenses necessarily incurred in attending the House. 26. As to the guidance, the 2005 edition of the General Guide read (pp2-14): “1.2.1 Members of the House of Lords do not, in general, receive a salary in respect of their parliamentary duties. However, Members may be reimbursed actual expenses arising out of these duties, in accordance with the rules of the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme. The Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme is governed by Resolutions of the House. Rules for the recovery of Members’ expenses are administered by the Clerk of the Parliaments who also has limited discretion to deal with matters that arise on claims. Points of particular difficulty or doubt may be referred to the House Committee, which supervises the arrangements for the reimbursement of expenses ... 1.3 Taxable status 1.3.1 All amounts paid in settlement of claims as detailed in this guide represent reimbursement of actual expenses arising out of unpaid parliamentary duty, rather than income from employment. Consequently, they are not subject to income tax, and need not be included on a tax return ... 4 ATTENDANCE AT SITTINGS AT WESTMINSTER 4.1 General - Expenses Related to Attendance 4.1.1 The basic principle underlying the scheme is that the entitlement to recover expenses arises only in respect of attendance at sittings of the House or its committees at Westminster … 4.1.3 Members who wish to claim attendance expenses must complete and sign the attendance expenses claim form and forward it as soon as convenient after the end of each month, or period of claim, to the Members’ Expenses Section. A Member’s signature effectively certifies that the amount claimed has been spent for the purposes of parliamentary duties as set out above. Receipts are not required ... 4.2 Travelling Expenses General 4.2.1 Claims may be made only for journeys over five miles between a Member’s main place of residence in the United Kingdom and Westminster. Claims for incidental travel costs (e.g. those arising from short distance journeys within a five mile radius of Westminster, tolls and car parking charges) are covered by the day subsistence allowance (4.5). 4.2.2 Members seeking to receive travel costs must register their main place of residence with the Members’ Expenses Section. Members with more than one main

18 O c tob er APPENDIX 4 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 6 th Report 2010 -12
2010
place of residence may register an alternative main residence with the Members’ Expenses Section for the purpose of claiming travelling expenses. Registration is subject to the approval of the Clerk of the Parliaments ... 4.2.4 Members may recover the cost of fares incurred by them for travel by any public railway, sea, and air or bus service, or the costs of journey made by private car ... Road 4.2.8 Claims in respect of journeys by private car are payable at: • 40p per mile up to 10,000 miles in the year ending 31 March; and • 25p per mile for mileage in excess of 10,000 miles in the same year. No other claims in respect of motoring expenses are reimbursable under the travelling expenses heading. Incidental travel costs such as tolls, congestion charges and car-parking charges can be claimed against the daily limit of the day subsistence allowance (4.5). 4.4 Night Subsistence 4.4.1 Members whose main residence is outside Greater London may claim for expenses of overnight accommodation in London while away from their only or main residence. The maximum daily limit is £154.50. 4.4.2 A Member whose main residence is outside Greater London and who maintains a residence in London for the purpose of attending sittings of the House may claim this allowance towards the cost of maintaining such a residence. 4.4.3 Claims for night subsistence are only permissible in respect of nights actually spent in London either immediately preceding or following attendance at a sitting or meeting described in paragraph 4.1.1 above. For example, a Member who necessarily travels to London on a Sunday and attends sittings of the House on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and then returns home on Friday or later may claim night subsistence for a maximum of 5 nights at up to a maximum of £154.50 per night (i.e. a maximum of £772.50 for the week). However, if the Member returned home on the Thursday evening, the maximum claim for night subsistence would be 4 nights at up to a maximum of £154.50 per night (i.e. a maximum of £618 for the week). 4.4.4 Members who choose to travel home each night or whose main residence is within Greater London cannot claim the night subsistence allowance.”
27. The General Guide was updated in January 2007, October 2008 and April 2009. The language used to describe the scheme was materially the same in each edition until 2009, which left out the word “allowance” in several places, including in the title of the guide 1 and in paragraph 4.4.2 in relation to night subsistence. 28. The claim form used until October 2008 read (p31): “I certify that during the month of ............ I have attended a sitting of the House or of a Committee of the House on the under-mentioned dates and claim reimbursement of: (a) Night subsistence incurred in such attendance or in respect of the maintenance of a London residence (other than a main residence) used for the purpose of attending the House (see note (i)) ... (d) Travelling Expenses (please ensure all travel dates are entered) (see note (v))” 1
Until April 2009, the guide was entitled “Members’ reimbursement allowance scheme general guide”.
2010
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 4 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 6 th Report 2010 -12
391
Thereafter paragraph (d) read (p35F): “(d) Travelling Expenses see note (v)”
29. At the bottom of the form, the claimant has to print his name, sign, date the claim and enter his main place of residence. 30. Notes (i) and (v) refer to the Quick Guide printed on the reverse of the claim form which in 2005 read (pp14-15): “(i) Night Subsistence – Members whose main residence is outside Greater London may claim expenses, within a daily limit of £154.50 (from 1 August 2005 to 31 July 2006), for nights spent away from their only or main residence for the purpose of attending sittings of the House a) where they have incurred expenses of overnight accommodation in London or; b) as a contribution towards the costs of maintaining a London residence in connection with their parliamentary duties. Claims can only be made in respect of days of attendance ... (v) Travelling Expenses - These may be claimed for journeys between main place of residence in the United Kingdom and London by any public railway, sea, air or bus service. Claims in respect of journeys by private car are restricted to an allowance of 40p per mile up to 10,000 miles then 25p thereafter. Claims in respect of journeys undertaken by motorcycle are paid at the rate of 24p per mile and by bicycle at the rate of 20p per mile.”
31. The rates changed over the period. In August 2006 paragraph (v) read: “(v) Travelling Expenses - Claims may be made only for journeys over five miles between a Member’s main place of residence in the United Kingdom and Westminster by any public railway, sea, air or bus service. Claims in respect of journeys by private car are restricted to an allowance of 40p per mile up to 10,000 miles then 25p thereafter. Claims in respect of journeys undertaken by motorcycle are paid at the rate or 24p per mile and by bicycle at the rate of 20p per mile. Claims for incidental travel costs are covered by the day subsistence allowance (see section (ii)).”
32. In August 2009 paragraph (i) had a sentence added to the end: “When claiming Night Subsistence dates of travel must be shown on the claim form.” As did paragraph (v): “Members are required to provide receipts or vouchers when submitting claims for ticketed travel in excess of £50 per return journey (£25 per single journey).”. 33. Although the Quick Guide says “Members are encouraged to contact the Finance Department, House of Lords for general assistance, or to discuss any particular points that arise from their claims”, in practice the onus on interpreting the scheme has fallen on the individual member. Save for the Lord President (Lord Soames) speaking of the member’s “usual residence” 1 when moving the motion which first set up the night subsistence regime in 1979, there was no guidance on the meaning of “main residence” other than the two words themselves until March 2010 2.

Lady Uddin’s designated main residences, claims and circumstances Lady Uddin’s designated main residences 34. Lady Uddin successively designated three main residences in the period from 3 May 2005 to the end of the last Parliament on 12 April 2010. Until 1 August 2005 it was XXXXXXXXX, Frinton on Sea, Essex CO13 XXX. From 1 August 2005 to 1 January 2010 it was 3 The Chenies, Chancery Lane, Maidstone, Kent ME15 6EE. In this report, we divide this period at Maidstone into two: before and after 24 April 2009, the date on which Lady Uddin became aware of the Sunday Times’ interest in her main residence (p88L; Q32). On 1 January 2010 Lady Uddin designated XXXXXXXX, Wapping, London, E1W XXX as her main residence (Q28). Period 1: Frinton: 3 May 2005 to 31 July 2005 Facts relating to the Frinton property: circumstances 35. Lady Uddin became a member of the House in 1998. On an unknown 1 date in 2001, she designated XXXXXXXX, Frinton on Sea, Essex CO13 XXX as her main residence. The property is a large house which used to be a care home (p96H; Q228). Lady Uddin’s brother and sister-in-law own the property and have lived there since 1999 (p94A; Q20). 36. The House of Lords Finance Department has retained the amounts claimed each month by members under each head since 2003 but has only retained claim forms from March 2006; members’ earlier claim forms have been disposed of in accordance with the department’s disposal policy. From the data held, it appears that Lady Uddin claimed night subsistence, day subsistence, office costs and the mileage allowance for weekly journeys by car from and to Frinton almost every weekend when the House was sitting for the period May to July 2005 (p24E). This pattern of claim is true for the period back to the start of retained records in 2003 and appears also to be true of the period back to the point of designation in 2001 (p47A; QQ289-90). 37. Lady Uddin has XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. By the year 2000 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX she required a “bolt hole” for breathing space XXXXXXXX (p163D; p61K). She initially rented a one bedroom flat in Windsor for this purpose but could not afford the rent. So she began to use her brother’s home as a bolt hole (p61K; p163D). She decided to continue living in the marital home with her children in the week (QQ219; Q267). She had two separate lives: one family, one to herself (Q237). The stress in Lady Uddin’s personal life was confirmed by her peer mentor (Lady Pitkeathley) (p164F) and we have taken these circumstances on trust. 38. In oral evidence, Lady Uddin told us that her brother invited her to stay in his house (Q289), he was happy for her to say there (Q219) and that she lived as part of their family (Q275). She had an allocated room (Q269) in which she kept clothes and papers (QQ271-2). 39. The police did not investigate this period but the Sunday Times interviewed Lady Uddin’s sister-in-law, who has lived at the property since 1999. She could not recollect Lady Uddin ever having lived at the property (p93H). Lady Uddin said that her sister1

in-law had been “terrified” by the journalist and was simply trying to make him go away (Q267). Facts relating to the Frinton property: travel and frequency of visit 40. From the data held, it appears that Lady Uddin claimed the mileage allowance for weekly journeys by car from and to Frinton every weekend when the House was sitting for the period May to July 2005 (p24E). 41. In oral evidence, Lady Uddin told us that she had stayed at the property most weekends (QQ261; 290) but lived in her London residence with her children in the week (QQ262-5). She and her family spent a large part of the summer recess of 2009 in Frinton (Q228). Period 2: Maidstone before Lady Uddin became aware of the Sunday Times’ interest: 1 August 2005 to 24 April 2009 Facts relating to the Maidstone property: circumstances 42. In 2005, Lady Uddin decided to acquire a property in her own right. She bought No 3 The Chenies as a newly-built flat and this is the only property which she owns herself (p61K; p163F). (In London, she, her younger children and husband live in a house rented by her husband under a housing association tenancy.) She has paid full council tax on the property since 1 August 2005, the date on which the property both was first occupied for the purpose of council tax (p150G; p151A) and was designated as her main residence (p30L). She claimed night subsistence away from Maidstone every week when the House was sitting and claimed the mileage allowance for weekly journeys by car from and to Maidstone every weekend when the House was sitting, with a few exceptions (paragraph 56 below). 43. In oral evidence, Lady Uddin told us that her purpose in acquiring the Maidstone property was to have a place of her own (Q310) as a “bolt hole” (Q220) in the light of XXXXXXXXXXXXX (paragraph 37 above). It provided her with her own space (Q101) as a sanctuary (Q85). Her husband was either unaware of the property (p88L) or, in Lady Uddin’s explanation, he knew about the flat but was clear that it was not in any way his (Q42). When invited to comment on the transcript of the oral evidence session, Lady Uddin said that she had an agreement with her husband that she would stay at Maidstone for one or two nights a week for a break, to prepare for the week ahead and to concentrate on XXXXXXXXXXXXX (Q96). Description of The Chenies 44. The Chenies is a cul de sac to the east of a road called Chancery Lane in Maidstone, Kent. The only building on The Chenies is a terraced row of new-build flats on the north side of the road. The road has both bays for residents’ parking and space for others to park on the street. There is a map of Chancery Lane and its locality at (p145) and pictures of 1-6 The Chenies at (pp141-3; p192E-194E). A single front door and staircase serves six flats; two on each floor. 1-6 The Chenies is the first entrance having turned into the road from Chancery Lane. 45. The police took statements from twelve of Lady Uddin’s current or former neighbours (pp120-31). We have noted earlier that the witness statements were redacted but it appears to us that the occupation of 1-6 The Chenies was as follows:

46. No 3 is the entrance level flat on the left hand (west) side; it has a kitchen/living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a balcony overlooking a nature reserve (p126; QQ54-9). The other flats are similar if not identical (QQ62; 152). Description of Lady Uddin’s flat 47. Lady Uddin told us that her flat had been furnished throughout: it had always had furniture, curtains and lampshades (QQ 64-76; 152), some due to it having been the show flat 1 (Q152), but it had been basically furnished in accordance with her lifestyle (Q205; Q216; 219). There was no bed in the second bedroom because she used it to pray and meditate, though some clothes and belongings were stored there (Q205). There were toiletries in the bathroom (Q199). She asserted that there was nothing wrong in sleeping on the floor on a mattress (Q216) though it strikes us that she would not have needed to do so since she told us that the flat had always had one bed and a sofa bed (QQ 73; 65; 206). She later told us that she slept in the bed in the main bedroom (p200J). She did not use the balcony of the flat, but opened its doors in good weather (Q78-9). 48. The reason for setting out Lady Uddin’s description of the flat in some detail is because her neighbours and others, both in interviews with journalists and in formal statements to the police, individually state that the flat was unfurnished until the weekend of 25-26 April 2009. 49. We quote four of the statements. Ms Yvonne Adams, who lives across the staircase from Lady Uddin’s flat, says (p128E): “Since the very beginning there have been white sheets at the two front windows of flat 3. All the other flats have lattice blinds or curtains so white sheets look tacky. On one occasion one of the sheets partly fell down. There was a ceiling light on. There was no lampshade, just a bare bulb. It was night time and it illuminated the whole flat. All the internal doors were wide open. I could see right into flat 3 and there was absolutely no furniture.” 50. Mr Stuart Brown, who lived below Lady Uddin’s flat from 1 April 2006 to 9 April 2009, says in relation to investigating a water leak and alarm on 4 June 2007 (p129C): “I looked through the letterbox at number 3. There must have been a light on because I could see damp on the carpet. I could see the hall and part of the living area which contained the kitchen. It reminded me of when we first moved into our flat; there were no personal items there at all. The carpets in 1
Ms Yvonne Adams, who lives across the staircase from Lady Uddin’s flat, also claims to have bought the show flat (p127J).

18 O c tob er APPENDIX 4 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 6 th Report 2010 -12
395
all the flats were light in colour. We had put a rug down in our flat to prevent any mud from spreading. There was no rug in flat 3 and nothing like a glass or mug or anything to suggest the flat was occupied.” 51. Mr Ian Allcock, who lives further down The Chenies, says (p123H): “Since I have lived at The Chenies, I have seen all the flats occupied apart from flat 3 which up to fairly recently has always been empty. The reason why I can be certain about the property being unoccupied was the fact that there were no curtains at the window and you could see in. About a year ago, I was going to work at my usual time when I was surprised to see a light on in the flat, before that it had always been dark, this allowed me to see into the right hand bedroom which was apparently devoid of furniture. This light stayed on for months and I can remember saying to my wife “I wouldn’t want to pay their electric bill”. I assumed that someone had been shown around the flat and the agent had failed to turn off the light. Another reason why I believe the flat was unoccupied was I have never seen any of the windows or patio doors open, even in the hottest weather.” 52. On Saturday 25 April, Mr Mark Ryan, a plumber and builder, went to Chancery Lane in his marked commercial van, to quote for a job coincidentally for the brother of a friend of Lady Uddin’s (a Mr Moshahidur Rahman: p124L; p86D; Q192). He was approached by “an Indian guy” who said “my boiler’s not working, can you have a look”. He agreed to do so and went into No 3 The Chenies where he saw a woman he later recognised to be Lady Uddin. His statement continues (p125B): “We went into the kitchen/diner/sitting room (all one room). There was a breakfast bar and the boiler was to the left. I had a look at the boiler and filled it up with water to increase the pressure. The room was not lived in. I remember seeing a cupboard under the boiler and there being nothing in it. It is unusual because I could get access straight to the pipes, no pots or pans or cleaning stuff. I ran the taps. I can’t remember the details of what was in the kitchen, but it definitely wasn’t a place where you would stay at the weekend. The whole place looked like the rent hadn’t been paid for six months and the tenant had done a runner. I then bled the radiators. I went into the bathroom, there were no towels and no shower gel or shampoo or anything like that. It definitely wasn’t clean but it wasn’t dirty, it just wasn’t lived in. There was a bedroom at the back of the flat. It had a mattress on the floor but with no sheets or pillows, again it was not a lived in room. There was also a clothes rack for drying clothes, I think I had to move it to get access to the radiator, there were no clothes on it. I then went into the second bedroom. The room was empty apart from some clothes that were slung on the floor. There may have been some built in cupboards but there was no other furniture, there was certainly no bed in it. I was only in the flat for at most ten minutes.” 53. Mr Ryan drew an accurate sketch of the flat as an exhibit to his statement to the police (p126; QQ54-7). 54. Lady Uddin did not accept that the flat was unfurnished (Q142) and invited us to take no account of these statements on four different grounds. First, that it is not possible to see into her flat from the street (QQ152-6) and that Mr Ryan, the only witness to have been inside the flat, had in fact only been in the hall and kitchen and
396
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 4 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 6 th Report 2010 -12
2010
not in the other rooms (QQ192-3; 198-9; 206). Secondly, that each witness was biased against her due to having been asked leading questions by journalists and by having seen the adverse publicity she had received in the press (QQ150; 157; 200; 201; 212; pp200L; 203F). Thirdly, that the witnesses used loose language in their statements (Q200). Last, that her neighbours were wrongly comparing the basic (but appropriate to her lifestyle and pattern of weekend occupation) furnishing of her flat to their flats occupied full-time as homes (Q216). 55. The neighbours and plumber had earlier made similar, consistent observations to the journalists from the Sunday Times before the newspaper had published their article of 3 May 2010 which alleged that Lady Uddin had not lived in the Maidstone property. Transcripts of those interviews are at (pp70-101). Lady Uddin invited us to take no account of these statements on the ground that the journalists’ questions had been leading (pp 200L; 203F). Usage and frequency of occupation 56. Lady Uddin claimed the mileage allowance for weekly journeys by car from and to Maidstone every weekend when the House was sitting, with the exception of 18 November 2006; 3 March 2007; 3 November 2007; and 6 and 13 December 2008 (pp26-9). The claimed days of travel to Maidstone are usually Friday or Saturday; the return to London is usually on Sunday. For the three months April to June 2008 she recorded on her claim forms journeys from and to the property every weekend but did not claim the mileage allowance 1. When the Finance Department queried this, she told them that she had been given a lift (p38D). 57. Lady Uddin told us that she had indeed stayed overnight at Maidstone every weekend when the House was sitting (QQ49; 45). She usually went on her own but was often accompanied by the son XXXXXXXXXX, who would also stay overnight (QQ98; 124). Her youngest son (a child) might have stayed once or twice, she was uncertain (QQ96-100); but she was clear that she ensured that her lifestyle did not affect her children (Q101). She would shop for necessities at a petrol station or at Bluewater or Lakeside shopping centre on her way to Maidstone rather than shop in Maidstone (Q114). She showers two or three times a day and tended to shower in London at the end of the day, before travelling to Maidstone (Q116-22) but also used the shower at Maidstone (Q120). She spent her time reading or listening to the radio, keeping herself to herself (QQ105-6; 144). She cooked in the kitchen (Q90). The time she spent at Maidstone was often at unsocial hours (p62B), arriving late on Friday night or Saturday morning and leaving early on Saturday or Sunday morning (Q144). In the course of the weekend she might visit her brother or mother and might return to London in the day to be with her children (Q108). She did not develop friendships or have much contact with her neighbours in either London or Maidstone because her family and other friends were sufficient (QQ107; 161; 112). She had however visited Ms Yvonne Adams’ flat (Q152), been seen by Ms Adams every 6 weeks when with a group of people (Q144) and Mr Matthew Hollis had visited her flat in relation to water leaks (Q158). These events are not referred to in either of those neighbours’ statements, though Ms Adams may have so seen Lady Uddin (p128A) and the inference can be drawn that Mr Hollis’s former girlfriend (but not him) may have met Lady Uddin (p70K). Letters from the managing agent were forwarded to her London residence (Q288) on her instruction (p131H). 1
The same is true of the journeys on 15 and 22 July 2007 and certain of those made in March, April, October and November 2009.

58. Lady Uddin told us that she continued to use the flat in the recess though was less precise in her answers (QQ81-89). Distilling her answers on the use she made of the flat in the recess, she used it once a week at weekends, returning to London for the week. She and her family spent a large part of the summer recess of 2009 at her brother’s home in Frinton (Q228). 59. We rehearse this account in some detail because her neighbours state, in contrast, that the flat was unoccupied until the weekend of 25-26 April 2009. One neighbour recalls the flat being occupied for a period: Mr Daniel Revell, who lives further down The Chenies, says (p127B): “I did not see anyone who lived at number 3 but I did see someone in the flat. I would qualify this by saying that I could see lights on and even the lights of a television being watched. All of the above incidents happened in the first few months of us moving into the flat, which was in December 2005. I cannot recall exactly when the net curtains came down but it was about 2 years ago [statement made 18 July 2009]. From that point the flat has stood empty and you could see a light was on in the hall but the flat was bare.” 60. Ms Yvonne Adams, who lives across the staircase from Lady Uddin’s flat, recalls six-weekly brief visits (p128A): “The only movement in flat 3 was when a group of five or six Indians, they looked like a family, went in to air the place. They opened the back window and doors, they put the curtains at the back of the flat out of the window, that’s why it was obvious they were airing the place. The balcony out the back of my flat is only about 10 feet from the balcony at the back of flat 3, so I could see it clearly. These five or six Indians only stayed for ten or fifteen minutes. I may have seen them in passing coming in through the communal door. This event only occurred approximately every six weeks. It was always at a weekend, during the day time, but I can’t remember what part of the day. Flat 3 had curtains at the back of the flat. They were always drawn, day and night. I love my balcony because it overlooks a nature reserve to the rear of The Chenies. Every time I looked over to flat 3’s balcony all I could see was leaves. I also remember a jumper overhanging their balcony. After a while algae started to form on the jumper, it all went green. I can’t emphasise enough I am 100% certain no one has ever lived in flat 3.” 61. Mr Matthew Hollis, who lives above Lady Uddin’s flat, says that her flat was unoccupied (p121K): “Flat 3 is directly below my flat. There is without question no one who has lived in number 3 until the last two of three months [statement made 2 July 2009]… Before the last two or three months I heard absolutely nothing in the flat below – guaranteed. I never heard or saw anybody connected to flat 3. In fact about a year ago I had some washing drying over the balcony. It fell off and landed on Lady Uddin’s balcony. I totally forgot about it. I thought about hooking it up but in the end forgot about it.” 62. Ms Sarah Dunn, who lives above Ms Adams, recalls the incident (p121A): “I remember an incident probably last summer where the people at flat 5 hung some washing on their balcony and at some point some of the washing blew off ... a couple of long sleeve tops or shirts had fallen onto the balcony
398
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 4 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 6 th Report 2010 -12
2010
of number 3. These shirts remained there for months and in fact long enough for the shirt to have gone green and mouldy.” 63. As does Ms Anne Manning, a resident in Chancery Lane adjacent to The Chenies, (p124H): “But up to the last few weeks (about May 2009), we saw no activity on the middle balcony - that is in strict contrast to the balcony above and patio below and many of the other balconies to the rear of The Chenies. The balcony of the middle flat nearest to us for many months had what looked like an old sweater hanging over the balcony. It sort of irritated me because I kept thinking why doesn’t someone take it in. Since about May 2009 it has disappeared.” 64. Mr Moshahidur Rahman, the brother of a friend of Lady Uddin’s, a local resident and the person from whom Lady Uddin told us that she sought help when her boiler was broken (Q192), said to the Sunday Times that he thought Lady Uddin lived in London always and had never met her (p85L; 86A). 65. Lady Uddin invites us to take no account of these statements on the grounds noted above (paragraph 54 above; Q160) and on the further ground that the variety in the accounts is in fact consistent with weekend occupation (Q161). 66. The police obtained Lady Uddin’s water and electricity accounts and those of neighbours for comparison. As Lady Uddin says, it would be unfair to compare the consumption of a full-time Chenies resident with that of a person usually in London when the House of Lords was sitting. It is however fair to consider whether Lady Uddin’s use of water and electricity is consistent with the pattern of weekend occupation she asserts. 67. EDF Energy calculate, from readings of a meter in a communal cupboard, that Lady Uddin’s flat used about 3.29 kWh a day. A standard consumer uses 9kWh a day (p146K). Some appliances use electricity whether or not a flat is occupied: a fridge is a good example. A 100 watt incandescent bulb uses 2.4 kWh of electricity if alight all day. The usage in Lady Uddin’s flat is consistent with a flat lightly occupied at weekends or with an unoccupied flat illuminated on a timer for part of each day. 68. Lady Uddin’s flat has a water meter fixed to the supply. Water bills exhibited by other residents in the block suggest that South East Water provide the supply and Southern Water the drainage (Q138). Lady Uddin claimed that she was simultaneously billed by South East Water, Southern Water and a third company, Mid Kent Water (Q126; 133). Mid Kent Water merged with South East Water in December 2007 1: the two companies did not simultaneously supply water or drainage to the same households. South East Water calculate, from readings of the meter in the street, that flat 3 used the following volumes of water (p148D):

69. South East Water estimate that an average person uses 84m3 a year (230 litres a day) and a low usage person 39m3 a year (p148J). An average person occupying a flat on their own each weekend would thus use 1.84m3 of water a month and a low usage person 0.85m3 a month. Lady Uddin’s metered usage is less than this in each period. South East Water replaced the meter on 13 February 2009 because they suspected that it had stopped working (p148H). 70. Lady Uddin invites us to take no account of the metered water usage on three grounds. First, that the companies’ billing was chaotic, mistaken and by three companies (Q126). Secondly that the meter was broken (Q140). Last that it accurately reflects weekend usage (Q126; 131). Travel by car from and to Maidstone 71. Lady Uddin claimed the mileage allowance for weekly journeys by car from and to Maidstone every weekend when the House was sitting with the exceptions noted at paragraph 56. The claimed days of travel to Maidstone were usually Friday or Saturday; the return to London was usually on Sunday. She told us that she made these journeys (Q51) on the days stated on her claim forms (QQ49-50). 72. From 17 September 2003 to 31 May 2008, Lady Uddin’s car was a Honda CR-V Auto SE Sport; thereafter it was a BMW X5 3.01 SE Auto (p153K). There are pictures of both of these “sport utility vehicles” at (p154A): they are large cars (Q249). Lady Uddin told us that she might arrive late on a Friday night and leave early on a Saturday morning (Q144) (the latter despite her claim forms indicating return on Sundays); that she might go away from the flat (including returning to London) in the course of a weekend’s residence at Maidstone (QQ100; 108); that she parked either in her designated parking bay or on the street if her bay was occupied by someone else
400
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 4 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 6 th Report 2010 -12
2010
(Q288; 246); and that she had her parking permit for her numbered bay, bay 8 (QQ254-6). 73. Each flat in The Chenies has a numbered parking bay. In June 2006, the managing agents, Countrywide Property Management, sent numbered permits to the residents but sent the wrong permit to each resident (p132). Lady Uddin was sent the permit intended for flat X (bay 3) but the occupant of that flat, Mr Daniel Revell, said in his statement that she did not pass it on to him. He was initially reluctant to use his rightful bay given that someone else (i.e. Lady Uddin) was in possession of the permit but, on seeing that the bay was not being used, he started to use it (p120C): “The company sent out permits which we were supposed to display in the car windscreen but unfortunately they sent the permit for bay 3 to flat 3 and likewise for the rest. I gave the permit that I received for bay 7 to the resident in flat 19 but I never received our one back from flat 3.” 74. The correct bay for Lady Uddin’s flat was bay 8 (Q254). Lady Uddin’s neighbours state that that bay was used regularly by another resident of The Chenies. An anonymous resident of The Chenies, who received the permit intended for Lady Uddin, said in her statement (as summarised by the police) (p131E): “That they received by mistake a car parking permit from the site’s Management Company, which related to a parking space allocated to Lady Uddin. They received their correct permit from another resident, but were unable to pass on Lady Uddin’s permit to her as they could not get any answer from repeated visits to Lady’s property. Furthermore this same witness noting that Lady Uddin’s car parking space was not being used instructed her lodger to make use of it. This arrangement continued until the media attention started, after which a black BMW X5 started using it.” 75. Mr Ian Allcock confirmed this (p123H): “As far as I am aware all the residents use the correct bays except Peter who lives in no. XX who doesn’t own a car and a young girl who lives in or associates with the woman in flat XX, she parks her car in the bay that is allocated to flat 3.” 76. Lady Uddin did not recall this confusion (QQ255-6). 77. Mr Allcock saw the BMW at about the time the story broke: it blocked the car park; over the next few weekends, it would “turn up on a Friday night or Saturday, unload some items, then leave” (p124B). Ms Sarah Dunn said (p121D): “Since this appeared in the papers I can recall that on a Sunday night my husband and I were returning home and saw a tall Asian man standing in the car park smoking a cigarette.. We had driven past him to park further along the car park and as we came back to the communal entrance door, I saw that he let himself in with a key. We followed him in and as he appeared out of place and I had not seen him before, I actually watched where he went. I saw him go into number 3... I remember seeing a large black car in the car park and it had tinted windows. I have never seen this car before this night. I don’t know the make but the closest comparison I can give is that it is the size and shape of a Range Rover. I thought it was a strange car to be connected to these flats as most people here are usually 2 or 3 people per flat as they all have 2 bedroom flats and this car was a large family car.” 78. The neighbours’ statements are consistent that Lady Uddin’s car was not seen in The Chenies until the weekend of 25-6 April 2009, though not all of the statements mention the car.

79. A neighbour of Lady Uddin’s in London said to a journalist from the Sunday Times that the BMW was visibly in London at the weekends, though it is unclear to what period he was referring (p90F). Period 3: Maidstone after Lady Uddin became aware of the Sunday Times’ interest: 25 April 2009 to 31 December 2009 80. Lady Uddin told us that her conduct in relation to the flat did not change in the light of the Sunday Times’ interest in the property (Q158), though she herself presented us with photographic evidence that she had recently increased the furnishing of the flat (p196H). 81. Lady Uddin’s neighbours at Maidstone say in their statements to the police that there was a change. Ms Yvonne Adams, who lives across the staircase from Lady Uddin’s flat, says (p128G): “Things all changed the Friday before the article came out in The Sunday Times. I didn’t see anybody but a mat appeared outside flat 3’s door, net curtains were hung at the front window and I heard a lot of activity in the flat. It seemed to me that someone was moving in and at this time I had no idea that a newspaper article was going to be published. Although I heard noises I never smelt anything like cooking.” 82. The occupants of the flats above and below Lady Uddin’s made similar statements. Mr Matthew Hollis, who lives above, said (pp121K-122D): “Flat 3 is directly below my flat. There is without question no one who has lived in number 3 until the last few months [statement made 2 July 2009]. I know this because I have heard someone in flat 3 late on Friday nights in the last two or three months. The floors here are so thin I can hear them banging around. In fact the first couple of times I heard them in there recently I thought about phoning the police. Over the last couple of months I have heard them leave on Saturday morning about 9 or 10am…. I have seen the BMW X5 on most Fridays in the last two or three months and once I saw a Transit van on a Saturday morning unloading a load of furniture. I heard the furniture being taken into Flat 3. I heard all the furniture banging very clearly.” 83. Ms Angela Storey, who lives below, said (p130J): “I should also mention that in May sometime, just after the story broke, I was lying in bed when I noticed a lot of noise coming from upstairs. I couldn’t tell if it was coming from flat 4 or flat 3 but the walls are very thin and you could tell it was coming from upstairs. I would describe the noise as someone picking up and dropping stuff and the sounds of moving stuff around. I spoke to a neighbour Penny a couple of days later and she mentioned to me that flat 3 had curtains up and looked like someone had moved in. I had noticed that a door mat had appeared outside flat 3.” 84. Lady Uddin invited us to take no account of these statements on the ground that each witness was biased against her due to having been asked leading questions by journalists and by having seen the adverse publicity she had received in the press (QQ150; 157; 160; 200; 201; 212; pp200L; 203F). London 85. Mr and Lady Uddin have lived at XXXXXXXXXX, Wapping, London E1W XXX since 1993. It is a three-bedroom house rented by Mr Uddin from a housing

2010
association (QQ9-13) and occupied by him, their younger children and Lady Uddin. Throughout the period under investigation, Lady Uddin stayed in this property during the week and had childcare responsibilities (Q219). She claimed that it had not been her home since 2001 (Q280) but also referred to it as such (Q122). Mr Komar Uddin and Mrs P M Uddin have paid full council tax on the property since 14 July 1993 (p153B). XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Lady Uddin said that she did not have neighbourly friendships in London (Q112). Sunday Times journalists interviewed at least two of Lady Uddin’s neighbours in London, both of whom appeared to have had some knowledge of and contact with Lady Uddin and her family (pp89B-93F). The issues 86. This case raises three issues: 1) whether Lady Uddin’s designated main residences in the period under investigation met the criteria endorsed by the House Committee for these investigations; 2) whether Lady Uddin correctly claimed for travel from and to those main residences; and 3) if the facts identify one or more wrongly designated main residences, whether Lady Uddin acted in good faith in making her designations and claims for night subsistence and travel. Issue 1: whether Lady Uddin’s designated main residences in the period under investigation met the criteria endorsed by the House Committee 87. On 26 January 2010, the House Committee endorsed the Clerk of the Parliaments’ approach to determining allegations about members use of the members’ reimbursement scheme, as recorded in the published extract of the minutes of that meeting (p16E): “He [the Clerk of the Parliaments] emphasised that he was operating under the current scheme, one of the weaknesses of which was that there was no clear definition of a main residence. He had however taken the view, within the context of the individual assessment of each case, that there needed to be a minimum threshold beyond which it would be inappropriate for a Member to designate a property as a main or only residence, and consequently claim overnight subsistence when staying in London. He sought the endorsement of the Committee of the criteria which he was incorporating into his assessment of cases where frequency of visits was an issue: i.e. that the main residence had to be visited for a minimum of one weekend per month over the year when the House was sitting and for periods during recesses. These factors would be taken into account, along with other evidence, when assessing the validity of the designation of a main residence. He drew the attention of the Committee to the fact that it was probable that more stringent requirements would be a feature of the new scheme for Members’ expenses. He also raised the issue of whether a property that was occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner could in any circumstances be designated as a main residence under the current scheme. It was felt that this could in very specific circumstances be appropriate, subject to the thresholds established and depending on the detail of the Member’s connection with the property, including relevant financial responsibilities.”
2010
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 4 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 6 th Report 2010 -12
403
88. We consider the criteria endorsed by the House Committee to be binding on us: it is the principal domestic committee of the House and explicitly responsible for the members’ reimbursement scheme (p5A). 89. “Visit” is used in the criteria in the context of “weekend”. We consider that “visit” must include an overnight stay. We also consider that “one weekend per month” is not a minimum threshold set by the House Committee, but the minimum frequency of occupation when the House was sitting subject to “other evidence”. It is a necessary but not sufficient criterion. In the case of a property occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner, “very specific circumstances” are required, “subject to the thresholds established and depending on the detail of the Member’s connection with the property, including relevant financial responsibilities”. 90. The Committee for Privileges’ and our own report on Lord Clarke of Hampstead’s use of the members’ reimbursement scheme, agreed to by the House on 6 April 2010, is also relevant. In that report, we found that 1: “17. It is clear to us that a member may only claim under the scheme i) if they have stayed overnight away from their main residence; and ii) they have attended the House. There is no ambiguity about these conditions ... 23. Our interpretation of the resolution, General Guide and Quick Guide taken together is that a member who maintained a residence in London for the purpose of attending the House could reasonably claim that the night subsistence provision was a flat rate allowance intended to reimburse the member for the costs of maintaining such a residence (General Guide paragraph 4.4.2). A member who did not maintain a residence in London was however entitled only to claim for the recovery of actual expenses (General Guide paragraph 4.4.1). The former is no longer the case as the word “allowance” was removed from the guidance in April 2009.” 91. The report from the Committee for Privileges was agreed to by the House and is binding. Recent cases 92. In the period since the House Committee endorsed the criteria for determining a main residence for the purpose of these investigations, the Clerk of the Parliaments has determined a number of complaints raising similar questions (pp17-23) and a further number of media allegations against members who were not subsequently complained about. These decided cases do not however form any precedent. Each of the Clerk’s published reports constitutes the application to specific circumstances of the criteria endorsed by the House Committee: the questions the Clerk faced when deciding the cases he did, and the questions we face in deciding this case, are questions of fact. They establish no principle, rule or threshold. The Clerk’s several decisions are thus not statements of precedent and they do not bind us as we determine the facts of this case. We have proceeded on the basis that we may take into account any fact relevant to the circumstances, even if the Clerk did not take such a fact into account in the cases he decided.

Opinion of the Sub-Committee Period 1: Frinton: 3 May 2005 to 31 July 2005 93. The criteria endorsed by the House Committee require that a main residence be visited a minimum of one weekend per month over the year when the House was sitting and for periods during recesses. In the case of a property occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner, “very specific circumstances” are also required, “subject to the thresholds established and depending on the detail of the Member’s connection with the property, including relevant financial responsibilities”. Frequency of visit 94. We have little evidence in relation to the short period which we may examine during which the Frinton property was Lady Uddin’s designated main residence. For want of evidence, we make no finding as to precisely how frequently Lady Uddin stayed overnight at the Frinton property but, on the balance of probabilities, taking into account our findings below as to Lady Uddin’s credibility as a witness, it was not as frequently as almost every weekend when the House was sitting from 2001 to 2005. 95. Frequency of visit is however not the only criterion relevant here. In the case of a property occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner, the House Committee set additional criteria (p16J): “[designation of a property occupied by a relative other than a spouse or partner] could in very specific circumstances be appropriate, subject to the thresholds established and depending on the detail of the Member’s connection with the property, including relevant financial responsibilities”. Thus, frequency of visit remains essential but there is i) a further dominant criterion: “the detail of the Member’s connection with the property, including relevant financial responsibilities”; and ii) a subordinate criterion: “very specific circumstances”. “Very specific circumstances” and “connection with the property” 96. The criteria endorsed by the House Committee provide no guidance as to what constitute “very specific circumstances” and a sufficient “connection with the property” for it appropriately to be designated as a member’s main residence. We thus have to establish our own criteria to decide those facts. 97. In terms of “very specific circumstances”, we consider that XXXXXXX is a legitimate circumstance in which a person might designate a family member’s home as her main residence. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. In our opinion, the circumstances of Lady Uddin’s designation of her brother’s property as her main residence might meet the very specific circumstances required under the test endorsed by the House Committee. 98. There is however one further, dominant, limb of the test to consider: connection with the property. In terms of this limb of the test, we consider that the connection must be such to find that, irrespective of occupation by a relative other than a spouse or partner, the property was Lady Uddin’s “main residence” within any natural meaning of those two words taken together. We accept that “main residence” is not defined either in the resolution establishing, or in the guidance on, the members’ reimbursement scheme. The consequence is that it would be unreasonable
2010
18 O c tob er APPENDIX 4 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 6 th Report 2010 -12
405
retrospectively to apply a single definition. It does not mean however that a designation which defies any natural meaning of those words may be allowed. 99. The connection would certainly be sufficient if, in circumstances of XXXXX XXXXX, the claimant had moved XXXXXXXXXX and into the designated property. That is not here the case. Lady Uddin needed what she described as a “bolt hole” for breathing space but continued to live in the family home for the working week throughout the year. She may have stayed at the Frinton property on occasional weekends or more frequently. We accept that the Frinton property was of great value to her as a “bolt hole”. Due however to her return on each occasion to her children and husband in the week, we do not accept that the property ever acquired the character of a main residence for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme. Although Lady Uddin claimed to have led two separate lives, in practice her behaviour was insufficient to validate that claim. We find that Lady Uddin’s connection with the Frinton property was insufficient for it to meet any natural meaning of “main residence” for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme. 100. We thus conclude that Lady Uddin did not have a sufficient connection with the Frinton property to have designated it as her main residence given her brother’s ownership and permanent occupation of the property. She was therefore wrong to have designated it as her main residence for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme and to have claimed night subsistence away from it. Period 2: Maidstone before Lady Uddin became aware of the Sunday Times’ interest: 1 August 2005 to 24 April 2009 101. It is clear that Lady Uddin owns and is financially responsible for the Maidstone property. In these circumstances, the criteria endorsed by the House Committee, and by which we are bound, are as follows (p16G): “the main residence had to be visited for a minimum of one weekend per month over the year when the House was sitting and for periods during recesses. These factors would be taken into account, along with other evidence, when assessing the validity of the designation of a main residence.” 102. Lady Uddin claimed to have stayed overnight at Maidstone almost every weekend when the house was sitting. The statements made to the police say otherwise without exception. On which account should we rely? 103. We accept Lady Uddin’s account of the circumstances of her marriage. We have however some difficulty with Lady Uddin’s account of the facts of her occupation of her designated main residences. First, she was reluctant to answer specifically the written questions put to her by the Registrar (pp63B-64C) and to discuss her case with the police (p161K). Secondly, in oral evidence, she was at times evasive (QQ94-7; 116-20; 299-301) and at others her account was inconsistent (QQ129, 254-5; QQ12641; Q216, p200J; Q242, p56B) to the point of contradiction (QQ70-1, 206, p200J; Q144, pp26-9). She provided several further significant details as footnote corrections to her evidence (QQ79; 96; 122; 152; 205). Nor do we accept her reasons for why we should take no account of the witness statements given to the police. First, the witnesses are clear that the flat was unfurnished, not that it was lightly furnished. As to Lady Uddin’s contention that it is not possible to see into her flat from the street, we consider that it would be possible to see into her flat if illuminated at night and without curtains. Secondly, as to Lady Uddin’s contention that the witnesses were biased in their statements to the police due to their having earlier been asked leading
406

2010
questions by journalists and by having seen the press coverage, we consider that neither factor was sufficient to prejudice the witnesses to the point that each was prepared to lie to the police. The neighbours’ accounts in their interviews with the Sunday Times are consistent with each other and consistent with their statements to the police. The neighbours were interviewed by the Sunday Times journalists before the newspaper published its allegation. 104. We have however considered carefully what weight we should attach to the witness statements given to the police. Each of the statements by Lady Uddin’s neighbours, the plumber and the utilities companies was given to the police under the formula “this statement is true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I make it knowing that, if it is tendered in evidence, I shall be liable to prosecution if I have wilfully stated anything in it which I know to be false or do not believe to be true” (p103B). Nonetheless, we are conscious that we have not examined these witnesses ourselves and so have not been able to form judgments as to their individual credibility. We consider that, in view of their number, we can rely on the essence of these witness statements taken as a whole. We consider that the statements to the police about the furnishing of Lady Uddin’s flat, her water usage, and her and her car’s visibility at Maidstone together prove, well beyond the balance of probabilities, that Lady Uddin in this period did not stay at the Maidstone property for the minimum of one weekend per month over the year when the House was sitting. We find that Lady Uddin deliberately misled us as to the frequency of her stays at Maidstone. 105. Lady Uddin was wrong to have designated the Maidstone property as her main residence for the purpose of the members’ reimbursement scheme and to have claimed night subsistence away from that property in the period 1 August 2005 to 24 April 2009. Period 3: Maidstone after Lady Uddin became aware of the Sunday Times’ interest: 25 April 2009 to 31 December 2009 106. Lady Uddin became aware of the Sunday Times’ interest in her Maidstone property on 24 April. We accept that, from this point, there is third-party evidence of her having stayed overnight in the Maidstone property at least one weekend a month. We find that, in this period, Lady Uddin met the minimum frequency of occupation required under the criteria endorsed by the House Committee. 107. While frequency of occupation is a necessary criterion, even in these circumstances it is not a sufficient criterion: “other evidence” is also to be taken into account (p16G). We are entitled to consider whether the Maidstone property became Lady Uddin’s main residence on 25 April 2009 or whether, due to other evidence, her main residence in fact remained elsewhere. Despite XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX, Lady Uddin’s life in the week has always remained at her London residence where her younger children and husband live; and her London residence again became her main residence on 1 January 2010. We find that Lady Uddin’s presence at Maidstone increased from 25 April 2009 only in an attempt to suggest that the property was and had been her main residence since August 2005. We find that, despite Lady Uddin’s presence, the Maidstone property did not acquire the character of a main residence within any natural meaning of the words. Lady Uddin remained wrong to have claimed night subsistence away from the Maidstone property in the period 25 April 2009 to 31 December 2009.

Conclusion 108. With the assistance of the Finance Department, we have calculated that Lady Uddin wrongly claimed £121,139.50 in night subsistence over the three periods. Lady Uddin should be required to repay this amount. Issue 2: whether Lady Uddin should have claimed for travel from and to her main residences 109. Lady Uddin should not have designated either the Frinton or the Maidstone property as her main residence. Claims for travel may only be made for journeys made between a main residence and Westminster in respect of parliamentary duties (pp6K; 15B). As neither the Frinton property nor the Maidstone property was Lady Uddin’s main residence, she was not eligible to claim for travel from and to either Frinton or Maidstone. We do not need to find precisely how many of the journeys she in fact made. 110. With the assistance of the Finance Department, we have calculated that Lady Uddin wrongly claimed £4,209.60 under the mileage allowance for journeys by car over the period. Lady Uddin should be required to repay this amount. Issue 3: if the facts identify one or more wrongly designated main residences, whether Lady Uddin acted in good faith in making her designations and claims 111. Having found that Lady Uddin wrongly designated the Frinton and Maidstone properties as her main residences and that she made claims for night subsistence and travel to which she was not entitled, we now turn to the issue of good faith. If Lady Uddin did not act in good faith when making her designations and claims for night subsistence and travel, then she is liable to sanction. If however Lady Uddin had good reason to believe that her designations and claims were valid, sanction might be inappropriate. 112. We look separately at her understanding of the scheme, designations and claims for night subsistence; and then her claims for travel. Understanding of the scheme, designations and claims for night subsistence 113. Lady Uddin maintained to us that she had not broken the rules of the scheme (Q234) but had acted in good faith throughout (p61E) and that both the Frinton and Maidstone properties had validly been her main residences for the purpose of the scheme (Q300). 114. In testing Lady Uddin’s good faith, we are not assessing her conduct against the criteria endorsed by the House Committee but against any natural understanding of the scheme and “main residence” that might be held by a reasonable person. This is because the criteria endorsed by the House Committee were not designed retrospectively to define “main residence” for the purpose of the scheme but were designed only as criteria to be applied to the retrospective examination of certain members’ claims. 115. Lady Uddin’s understanding of the scheme was that she could designate as her main residence anywhere where she was staying at weekends if it could be considered her home (QQ225; 301). If one had more than one residence, it was a question of election: “main” had no meaning (QQ284-5). The clear purpose of the scheme is the recovery of expenses necessarily incurred in attending the House when away from one’s “main residence” on any natural meaning of those words.
408

2010
Lady Uddin’s understanding of the scheme defeats its objective and her understanding of “main residence” is unreasonable. 116. Lady Uddin says that she came to this understanding on advice from her Chief Whip (Lord Carter), mentor (Lady Pitkeathley) and other members. Before designating the Frinton property as her main residence, Lady Uddin says that she described the circumstances of XXXXXXXX to her Chief Whip and others; told them that the property was her brother’s home; that she was staying there at weekends; and that she was “spending money” (QQ222; 226; 230). Lady Uddin says: “It was made clear to me by my Chief Whip and my colleagues that if I was staying at weekends in a place that could be determined to be my home that I was able to then claim overnight subsistence” (Q225). “I was guided to designate the place where I was at the weekends and that this was acceptable within the rules” (Q230). Lord Carter is deceased and Lady Pitkeathley does not recall discussing the rules of the members’ reimbursement scheme or her domestic arrangements in any detail with Lady Uddin (p164D). 117. This advice, if received, mitigates Lady Uddin’s understanding of the scheme for the same reason that it helped to mitigate part of the conduct of Lord Clarke of Hampstead 1, but it does not obviate her lack of good faith for two reasons. First, she accepted that it remained her own responsibility to make her designation and claims in accordance with the rules (Q236). Secondly, Lady Uddin’s actual circumstances did not meet her own understanding of the scheme. On the original day of designation, she may have had the intention of living two separate lives, weekday and weekend each week (Q233-7), but the facts in relation to her occupation of both properties do not meet even her own understanding of the rules. She was not at Frinton every weekend and it did not become her home. It should quickly have become clear to her that she was not staying at Maidstone at weekends. It should also have been clear to her that, in those circumstances, she was not making her claims for night subsistence when away from her designated main residence in good faith; and that the continued designation had become a deliberate misrepresentation of her position even on the basis of her understanding of the scheme. Claims for travel 118. Lady Uddin claimed the mileage allowance for journeys by car from and to both of her successively designated main residences almost every weekend when the House was sitting. In oral evidence, she confirmed that she had made each of these journeys. In relation to Frinton, we have decided not to find precisely how often Lady Uddin travelled to the property but have found that it was not as frequently as almost every weekend when the House was sitting (paragraph 94 above). In relation to Maidstone, we have found that she travelled to the property less than once a month (paragraph 104 above). 119. We find that the vast majority of Lady Uddin’s claims for journeys in the period under investigation were not made in good faith and that Lady Uddin made these claims with the intention of adding verisimilitude to her designation of her main residences.

Conclusion 120. We find that Lady Uddin did not act in good faith in making her claims for night subsistence away from the Frinton and Maidstone properties; in maintaining her designation of each of those properties as her main residences; and in claiming the mileage allowance for weekly journeys by car from and to the Maidstone property. Sanction 121. We have found that, despite difficult personal circumstances which might have legitimised the intention underlying her original designations, the facts of Lady Uddin’s occupation of her designated main residences both in Frinton and in Maidstone did not in fact meet the criteria endorsed by the House Committee. Lady Uddin deliberately misrepresented her living arrangements to take advantage of the night subsistence and travel elements of the members’ reimbursement scheme, a scheme designed for the recovery of expenses necessarily incurred in attending the House. There is every indication that this misrepresentation started before 2005 and would have continued beyond 2009 had she not been discovered. 122. Lady Uddin maintained throughout that she had acted in good faith; so she has not yet either repaid money or apologised. The day before we heard evidence from Lady Uddin, she wrote to us to reiterate that she had acted on advice and complied with the rules. She went on to say that, despite this compliance, she “should have maintained a higher standard” and volunteered a payment of £5,500 “in recompense” (p67E). The sum is slightly more than she claimed for travel but was not meant to represent a sum wrongly claimed (QQ302-6). Lady Uddin wrongly claimed £125,349.10. 123. We recommend that the House sanction Lady Uddin by requiring her to make a personal statement of apology to the House and thereafter suspending her from the service of the House for three years or until she has repaid the sum of £125,349.10 wrongly claimed, whichever is the later. Her apology must be unconditional, and agreed in advance with the Chairman of the SubCommittee, to be sufficient. We consider that the suspension should be renewed in the next Parliament if Lady Uddin has not repaid the money by the end of the current Parliament, but that can only be a matter for the next Parliament. 18October

LIAISON COMMITTEE - 2ND REPORT 2010-12 NEW PROPOSALS FOR COMMITTEE ACTIVITY 1.
1
In June 1 the House agreed to our recommendations for the principles which we should apply in considering proposals for committee activity. These were: (a) House of Lords committees should generally seek to complement rather than duplicate the areas of scrutiny of House of Commons committees and other Lords committees;

(b) we will continue to support the appointment of one ad hoc committee at any one time, though there is a case for ad hoc committees with narrower and more topical remits conducting shorter inquiries; (c) new sessional committees should be appointed for a limited time only; (d) we will continue to keep resource requirements closely under review to ensure that committee work provides value for money, and can be supported by members; (e) in assessing proposed or existing committees we will consider whether the committee activity in question represents a productive use of the resources of the House and the administration and, where there is a need to prioritise between two or more alternatives, whether it represents a more productive use than the others in existence or proposed; (f) we will continue to seek to evaluate potential impact when considering new proposals for committees, or reviewing existing activity. Since then, the Government has announced its intention to invite the House to agree to three pre-legislative joint committee inquiries in the New Year, on House of Lords Reform, Parliamentary Privilege and Defamation. Each of these has the potential to be very significant undertakings, depending on the deadlines set, and will make demands on staff and member resources. The Leader’s Group on Working Practices may also consider suggestions on the scope and scale of committee activity, which we may need to assess in due course. It is against this background that we have also received proposals for three new units of committee activity, which we consider in this report. HIV/AIDS in the United Kingdom The Committee considered a proposal from Lord Fowler for the establishment of an ad hoc committee on HIV/AIDS in the United Kingdom (Appendix 1). Lord Fowler suggests that an inquiry 25 years after the HIV/AIDS outbreak was first recognised would be opportune. He does not cite any pressing topical reason for an inquiry now, though he suggests that there would be likely to be lessons to be learned from a United Kingdom inquiry which would have international relevance. In addition we note that the Government’s new proposals for reform of the National Health Service would be a relevant factor in any inquiry, given that Lord Fowler suggests that there might be a tension between priorities towards HIV/AIDS policy at local and national levels. He has suggested that an inquiry could be reasonably short, reporting within six months. We are conscious of the fact that there has been a hiatus of over a year in the appointment of an ad hoc committee, given the short last Session of the last Parliament and the General Election. As we noted in our last report, we think that ad hoc committees can be a valuable form of scrutiny and we welcome suggestions for such committees. We also note that our preference for committees—including ad hoc committees—to be time-limited is even more relevant in the current Session, given that an ad hoc committee appointed for the whole Session would be in existence for a long time. We consider that an inquiry into HIV/AIDS in the United Kingdom meets the criteria which we proposed to the House in our last report. Although we accept that there is no imminent deadline for an inquiry we consider that it would be timely. We agree with Lord Fowler that such an inquiry should be concluded by the Summer Recess of 2011. In recommending an inquiry we are mindful of the

fact that health policy is a devolved matter. Though the powers of House of Lords committees to inquire into devolved matters have not been formally limited we recommend that the scope of the inquiry is limited to issues of general relevance throughout the United Kingdom and does not extend into consideration of issues particular to the devolved nations. We recommend the appointment of an ad hoc committee on AIDS/HIV in the United Kingdom, to report by the Summer Recess in 2011. Regulation The Committee considered a proposal from Lord Ramsbotham for the appointment of a select committee on regulation, with particular reference to “the burden of regulation that impacts on public services” (Appendix 2). We recommended the establishment of an ad hoc committee “to consider the regulatory process” in 2006 1, following a recommendation by the Constitution Committee in 2004 2 that a permanent joint committee be established to scrutinise “the regulatory state”. The ad hoc committee decided to focus on regulators rather than regulation, and to look only at the work of the major UK economic regulators. It reported in 2007 3. One of its recommendations was that a joint committee of both Houses be set up in line with the recommendations in the Constitution Committee’s Report. If it proved impossible to set up such a committee the Regulators Committee recommended that a sessional committee be set up in the House of Lords. We are aware that other Members have expressed support for this recommendation from time to time. We have considered further the scope and focus of a committee on regulation. “Regulation” in the sense of the establishment and enforcement of legal and other standards encompasses a huge sweep of public policy. The ad hoc committee found that the breadth of its remit was problematic, even in its more focussed form. We note that individual departmental select committees of the Commons have oversight of regulatory activity within the remit of the government departments they scrutinise, and that House of Lords committees consider aspects of regulation in their policy and scrutiny work. The Government is currently reviewing the role and remit of all NonDepartmental Public Bodies, including those with regulatory functions, and the scope and potentially the existence of a number of them could be altered as a result. Powers to achieve this are included in the Public Bodies Bill, which the House recently decided not to commit to a select committee. In addition the proposed Freedom Bill or Bills will include measures to “roll back the State, reducing the weight of government imposition on citizens that has increased in recent years through legislation and centralised programmes”. So there is significant upheaval in this sector. In these circumstances we think it would be difficult for any committee to scope and plan its work, and we have doubts about what impact any inquiry would be likely to have. We do not recommend the appointment of a committee on regulation.

Joint Committee on the United Kingdom Statistics Authority In our 1st Report of 2007–08 1, the Committee gave its support in principle to Lord Jenkin of Roding’s suggestion for the establishment of a joint committee on the Statistics Board (now the United Kingdom Statistics Authority, or UKSA), which came into being on 1 April 2008. The Leader of the House agreed to relay our views to the Leader of the House of Commons, but in the event the House of Commons was not persuaded of the merits of a joint committee. Instead, the Commons put in place arrangements for the new Authority to be scrutinised by the Public Administration Committee. Given the need for the support of the House of Commons, there was no practical way to pursue the suggestion for a joint committee further. Lord Jenkin has now invited us to reconsider the matter in this new Parliament (Appendix 3). In his original submission to us Lord Jenkin argued that the work of the new Board would be assisted if there was a mechanism for Parliament to support the Board in its work and in particular to hold to account those public bodies which the Board regarded as falling down in their use of statistics. Since then new arrangements for parliamentary oversight have been established through the Public Administration Committee of the House of Commons. Lord Jenkin argues that this oversight is insufficient. On the other hand we note that in a recent submission to the Treasury Committee in the House of Commons the UKSA discussed parliamentary accountability in the following terms: “The Statistics Authority reports directly to the UK Parliament and the devolved legislatures. The Authority most routinely reports to the House of Commons Public Administration Select Committee, and other committees as required. The Authority values the constructive and engaging relationship that has been built with the Public Administration Select Committee since April 2008. Direct reporting to Parliament is regarded by the Authority as a visible instrument of its independence from government.” 2 Given that scrutiny arrangements exist, and that they appear to be working, we are unpersuaded of the case to seek to supplant them through the establishment of a different and more elaborate scrutiny mechanism. In our view this would be contrary to the principles of complementarity and value for money which the House has so recently endorsed. We do not recommend the appointment of a joint committee on the United Kingdom Statistics Authority.
APPENDIX 1: LETTER TO LORD BRABAZON OF TARA FROM LORD FOWLER HIV/AIDS 25 Years On I would like to make the following proposal for a short inquiry into HIV/AIDS in the United Kingdom. In this proposal I am supported by Baroness Gould of Potternewton, Baroness Masham of Ilton and Baroness Barker. It is now almost exactly a quarter of a century since HIV/AIDS was recognised as a serious health threat in this country. Since then various efforts have been made to check the spread of the infection. Nevertheless today the number of people living with

HIV is almost 100,000. At current rates there will be nearly 150,000 people with HIV by 2015. It will be the fastest growing serious health condition in the UK. The plan would be to see how this public health problem has developed and what proposals can be made to government to reduce the spread. It should be emphasised that we are not talking here of vast new spending commitments. Indeed if prevention can be made to work then the National Health Service budget would undoubtedly benefit. Because of dramatic advances in medicine HIV is now treatable which is in dramatic contrast to the position 25 years ago. However the reverse side of that coin is that the long term care costs for the National Health Service are rising sharply and we would wish to inquire into the exact costs here. The Committee’s areas of investigation would include: •
An examination of the success of failure of current policies. For example, the committee should review the success or otherwise of ways of treating injecting drug users. The clean needle exchange policy is in contrast to a number of other major countries who say that it encourages and condones criminality. The committee should also examine whether public education has been effective and how it might be improved.
•
The importance of early diagnosis. Currently about 27 per cent of those with HIV do not know that they are infected. This is serious for them as the evidence suggests that the sooner treatment is started the more likely it is that the patient will live a long life. It is also serious from the public’s point of view because clearly it can lead to further spread of the infection. Current research shows that almost two thirds of onward transmission is from people who have not yet themselves been diagnosed.
•
Testing. This is crucial if improvements are to be made. The committee should examine how this could be done and might also consider whether new entrants who are settling in the country should be tested at GPs’ surgeries given that drugs now exist to treat the condition. This is advocated by a number of consultants.
•
The role of General Practitioners. They occupy a very important role in preventing the spread. However some evidence suggests that their knowledge of HIV is not as great as it could be. What can be done here to help the position?
•
Local priorities. The general policy of all parties is to put responsibility in health to the local level. The question is whether doing this can put a condition like HIV at the bottom of the list of priorities. Should there be some national responsibility to ensure that this is an area which is not neglected?
•
Discrimination. Although the health position has improved dramatically there is evidence of discrimination—including discrimination in the workplace—which should be tackled.
We have been careful to confine the inquiry to HIV/AIDS. It would be tempting to mount a much larger inquiry into public health generally. However it seems to us that this is beyond what a short inquiry can achieve. Clearly there is some read across to other conditions like Hepatitis B and C and TB. Equally clearly there is a major international dimension. Hopefully anything we propose may have some relevance to this wider problem but we would not consider it part of our role to try to review the different areas of the world. In précis then our proposal would be for a clearly focused inquiry into the position inside the United Kingdom with the hope that anything we propose would be to the benefit of those suffering from HIV and for the general health policy. 12 JULY 2010 LORD FOWLER

APPENDIX 2: LETTER TO LORD BRABAZON OF TARA FROM LORD RAMSBOTHAM Regulation Select Committee Four years ago Baroness Prashar and I were invited to join a one year Select Committee whose remit was regulation. However, when I attended the first meeting the Chairman, Lord McIntosh, made it clear that the only regulation he was going to examine was financial regulation. As luck would have it, we completed our work by the recess, meaning that we could not reconvene to take evidence about the Northern Rock affair which happened soon after the House had gone down. Since then I, and many others, have become increasingly concerned at the burden of regulation that impacts on public services in particular, and I feel that the subject remains as valid a candidate for Select Committee examination as it was four years ago. Following discussion with the Convenor, I am writing to task whether the subject could be considered as a candidate for resurrection, because I believe that it is one that has a wide remit and several years work ahead of it. 30 JUNE 2010 LORD RAMSBOTHAM APPENDIX 3: LETTER TO LORD BRABAZON OF TARA FROM LORD JENKIN OF RODING The UK Statistics Authority The Leader of the House has suggested to me that I should send to you my proposal for a Joint Select Committee of both Houses to be the body in Parliament to which the UK Statistics Authority should be accountable under the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007. He and I discussed this proposal this morning, and we hope that you will be able to put it before the Liaison Committee. You will remember that in the last Parliament the House agreed to the same proposal, but it was rejected by the Leader of the House of Commons I attach a Note of the proposal together with a copy of the letter which the last Leader of the House of Commons sent to Baroness Ashton of Upholland in April 2008. 17 JUNE 2010 LORD JENKIN OF RODING Proposal for a Joint Committee of both Houses to scrutinise the work of the UK Statistics Authority The Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 established the UK Statistics Authority as an independent body at arm’s length from government reporting to the UK Parliament and to the devolved legislatures on the exercise of its functions. The Statistics Authority was established on 1 April 2008 as a non-ministerial department, with residual ministerial oversight. The last Government assigned this responsibility to Cabinet Office Ministers, but decided, against advice from the House of Lords (see para 5 below), to give the scrutiny role to the House of Commons Public Administration Select Committee (PASC). Since April 2008, PASC has held five substantive oral evidence sessions to which members and officials of the Authority have been invited to give evidence on general
2010
17 No vemb er APPENDIX : Liaison Committee - 2nd Repor t 2010-12
513
and specific matters. 1 To date, PASC has not held a substantive inquiry into official statistics and the work of the Authority; and has not issued a single Report on this subject, with recommendations and conclusions; Parliament was led to believe that this would be its primary responsibility. Indeed, the Government’s response in 2006 to the pre-legislative consultation Independence for Statistics suggested that there was an expectation that “Parliament (would) play the central role in holding the statistical system to account ... and expects that there will be full accountability to Parliament for the statistical system”. In practice, for whatever reason, this simply has not happened. During the passage of the Statistics and Registration Service Bill it became clear that Members of Parliament and Peers of all sides expected that Parliament would have significantly more involvement in holding the Statistics Authority to account than previously. The then Financial Secretary to the Treasury, John Healey MP, recognised that a Joint Committee would “enable both Houses’ expertise and interest in (official statistics) to be played in” and would allow “strong and proper scrutiny”; Baroness Noakes from the Lords Opposition front bench suggested that the different “style and tone of the two Houses” would “blend very well ... to produce highly effective parliamentary scrutiny”. In these debates, and also in a short debate in the House of Lords in November 2007 2, there were a number of advocates for a Joint Committee of both Houses to undertake parliamentary scrutiny of the Authority and the UK statistical system. Supporters agreed that a “heavy-hitting parliamentary committee” would help to “enhance the status and effectiveness” of the Authority. The House of Lords Liaison Committee considered the proposal for a Joint Committee in its First Report of the Session 2007–08, including detailed supportive memoranda from Lord Jenkin of Roding and Lord Turnbull. 3 The Committee gave its support in principle to the establishment of a Joint Committee of both Houses. The Committee’s Report was agreed by the House on 7 February 2008 without a Division. 4 The then Leader of the House of Lords (Bs Ashton of Upholland) agreed to relay the views of the Committee to the then Leader of the House of Commons, The Rt Hon Harriet Harman QC MP. In her reply, Ms. Harman rejected the proposal of the Lords Liaison Committee for a Joint Committee, favouring retention of the existing scrutiny by the House of Commons only, via PASC. A copy of her letter is attached. 5 This Note now proposes that the issue of Parliamentary scrutiny by a dedicated Joint Committee of both Houses should be revisited by the House of Lords, and if agreed, should be conveyed to the Leader of the House of Commons, the Rt Hon Sir George Young Bt MP. Letter from Rt Hon Harriet Harman QC MP to Rt Hon Baroness Ashton of Upholland Thank you for your letter of 18 January, relaying the views of the Lords Liaison Committee proposing a new joint committee to scrutinise the new Statistics Authority. Please accept my apologies for the delay in replying, but I and my colleagues wished to give the issues you raised full and thorough consideration. 1

I am in full agreement with the Committee’s view that effective Parliamentary scrutiny will be central to the successful implementation of the Government’s reforms. As you are aware, the Government does not share the Committee’s belief that the Public Administration Select Committee (PASC) will not be able to undertake the role of scrutinising the Statistics Authority effectively. The PASC is well placed to fulfil the necessary strategic cross-government view that the Committee highlights. Tony Wright, the Chair of the PASC, is very enthusiastic about the PASC’s new responsibilities and keen to take up the challenge of scrutinising the Statistics Authority. We should now give Tony and his committee the opportunity to prove that they can make a success of this role. The members of the House of Lords provided useful insight during the passage of the Bill. They will doubtless continue to do so in questions and debates in the Lords. Whilst there are precedents for Joint Committees of both Houses, these tend to be ad hoc inquiries (say, into draft bills) or highly technical (such as the Joint Committee on the Consolidation Bills). Perhaps the only real comparison is the Joint Committee on Human Rights. One of the reasons this committee was created was because neither House had much of a track record of effective scrutiny of human rights. The same cannot be said of statistics, where the House of Commons has a strong record of effective scrutiny and has previously managed to cope with institutional change on a similar scale, such as the independence of the Bank of England and the creation of the Financial Services Authority. The PASC will, I am sure, deal with its responsibility for scrutinising the Statistics Authority as effectively as the Treasury Select Committee, and will put in place whatever arrangements it considers necessary to fulfil its responsibilities. The Committee will gain much of its practical authority from having the active interest of MPs behind it and the onus will correctly be on Parliament to take an interest in the reports of the Board. I am copying this letter to Ed Milliband, the Minister for the Cabinet Office, and to Alan Williams, Chair of the Commons Liaison Committee. 23 APRIL 2008 RT HON HARRIET HARMAN QC MP 17November

PROCEDURE COMMITTEE - 3RD REPORT 2010-12

Motions to fill Select Committee vacancies en bloc The Chairman of Committees is already authorised to move motions to reappoint Select Committees at the start of a new session en bloc. The normal rules regarding the taking of motions en bloc apply: two sitting days’ notice must be given, by means of an italic note in House of Lords Business; and if any Member objects, the motions are moved separately to the extent desired. We recommend that the same procedure, and the same safeguards, be applied to motions to fill casual vacancies on Select Committees. This will remove the need for a series of motions to be taken one at a time, as has happened on two occasions (on 22 July and 15 November) in the present session. Thursday debates In light of the current two-year session, which will run until around Easter 2012, and the Government’s plans to run annual sessions thereafter from spring to spring, the Leader of the House has proposed the following changes to the arrangements for Thursday debates: •
That general debate days in the current session should run from the start of the session (May 2010) to the end of May 2011, and from the return of the House in October 2011 until the end of January 2012;

That in future sessions general debate days on Thursdays should run from the start of the session until the end of January the following year.
The Clerk of the Parliaments has provided data on Thursday debates in previous one-year sessions, along with projections for the current session. These show that, allowing for unavoidable uncertainties regarding recess dates, the Leader’s proposals will provide the same number of general debate days on Thursdays as the current rules:

We therefore support the Leader’s proposals, as set out in paragraph 3 above, and recommend them to the House. Marine Policy Statement We have agreed that the same procedure as that applying to National Policy Statements should be applied in respect of the draft United Kingdom Marine Policy Statement, which was laid before the House on 21 July. The procedure was set out in full in our Second Report of 2008-09, 115 and is summarised in the Companion, paragraphs 10.72–10.73. It is not expected that there will be any further Marine Policy Statements. Introductions Earlier this year, following the announcement on 28 May of 56 new Peers, the House agreed that up to three introductions should be allowed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays in order to allow these new Peers to be introduced before the summer recess. 116 On Friday 19 November the Prime Minister announced a further 54 new Peers. In order to assist their timely introduction, we recommend that the House again make use of the flexibility allowed for in exceptional circumstances by paragraph 1.13 the Companion, to increase the maximum number of introductions each week to 11. This would mean a maximum of three introductions on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and two on Wednesdays. We recommend that this increase in the rate of introductions should run
This assumes that no Thursdays will be required for emergency Government business. Estimated figure, as recess dates are not known. For the purpose of making the estimate it is assumed that one Thursday will be lost for a February recess, and that prorogation will take place on Wednesday 4 April 2012 (Easter falls on Sunday 8 April). 115 HL Paper 165. 116 See Procedure Committee, First Report, session 2010-11 (HL Paper 10), agreed on 24 June 2010. 114

until the House rises for the February half term recess, at which point the usual arrangements would resume. In order to minimise the impact on business, we further propose that on days where there are three introductions planned, the House should sit 15 minutes earlier than the usual sitting time (in other words, at 2.15pm on a Monday or Tuesday, and at 10.45am on a Thursday). There will be no change to Wednesday sitting times. Topical oral questions We have considered a proposal from the Leader of the Opposition and the Opposition Chief Whip to increase, for the duration of the current two-year session, the limit on the number of balloted topical oral questions allowed for each Member. The limit is currently set at four topical questions per Member per session (Companion, paragraph 6.31). This limit was raised from two in 2002 when, for a trial period, the number of topical questions was increased to five per week. Even though the trial was not a success, and the number of topical questions was cut to three per week in 2004, the limit of four per member per session remained in place. The limit applies regardless of the length of the session: the same limit applied in the long 2005-06 session as in the short 2009-10 session. We agree that, in light of the exceptionally long session now under way, there should be a one-off increase in the limit. However, we are aware that, with many new Members joining the House, there is a growing pool of Members who may wish to enter the ballot for topical questions. We therefore recommend that, for the duration of the current session, the limit on the number of balloted topical oral questions should be increased to five per Member. Oral statements We have considered a letter from Lord Jopling to the Chairman of Committees, in which he points out that the guidance in paragraph 4.32 of the Companion regarding attendance at debates (namely that it is “considered discourteous for a member not to be present for the opening speeches”) does not apply to oral statements. As a result, Members of the House may come into the Chamber while a statement is being read out, and then ask questions, to the detriment of those Members who have been present throughout. We are persuaded that this is an anomaly, which should be rectified. We therefore invite the House to agree the following provision, to take effect immediately and to be incorporated in the next edition of the Companion after the present paragraph 6.07: “As a matter of courtesy, Members who wish to ask questions on an oral statement should be present to hear the whole of the statement read out.” We are conscious that the new provision will have to be applied with a degree of flexibility, given that the timing of repeated oral statements is often uncertain. We look to the front benches in particular to ensure that the new provision is applied sensitively, and in accordance with the spirit of self-regulation.

1. 2. 3.

Background The Committee has considered a report by the Clerk of the Parliaments on a complaint relating to the conduct of Baroness Goudie. This complaint is one of a number relating to Members’ expense claims which were received by the Clerk of the Parliaments in the course of 2009. The complaint was, like the others, about claims made under the former Members’ Reimbursement Scheme, which enabled Members to claim for overnight subsistence expenses if their main residence was outside London. Until April 2010, “main residence” was not defined for the purposes of that Scheme, which was replaced on 1 October 2010. Under the procedures which then applied, set out in the 4th Report of the Committee for Privileges of 2007-08 117 (hereafter referred to as the “Report on procedure”), it fell to the Clerk of the Parliaments as Accounting Officer to investigate these complaints. The Report on procedure provided that, in exceptional circumstances, the Clerk of the Parliaments was entitled to request the assistance of the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Interests (now renamed the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct) in the investigation of a complex or serious complaint. He referred four such complaints to the Sub-Committee. Three of these, relating to Lord Clarke of Hampstead, Lord Paul and Baroness Uddin, were referred because they had previously been the subject of police investigation, and were therefore prima facie “serious”. The fourth, relating to Lord Bhatia, was referred to the SubCommittee on the basis that Lord Bhatia had failed to supply sufficient information to enable the Clerk to come to a conclusion. In the case of this complaint about the claims of Baroness Goudie and specifically about the designation of her main residence, the Clerk of the Parliaments was able to complete his investigation without reference to the SubCommittee. He determined that he would uphold the complaint in part, concluding that “it is not clear that the designation of Glasgow as her ‘main or only residence’ is really based on actual residency”. He expressed particular concern about this designation “in the light of the frequency of stays there in 2008 which fell below the established minimum threshold.” The Clerk of the Parliaments’ report on the complaint is attached at Appendix 1. It was presented, in accordance with the Report on procedure, to the House Committee, as the body responsible for overseeing Members’ financial support. The House Committee considered the Clerk’s report at its meeting on 23 March.

The House Committee endorsed the Clerk of the Parliaments’ finding, and concluded that Baroness Goudie should be asked to repay an appropriate sum, to be determined by the Clerk. The Committee further took the view that the complaint and the Clerk’s finding should be referred to this Committee, so that we could decide whether or not any sanction should be recommended. Our role in this case has been limited to consideration of whether or not a sanction is appropriate. An investigation has been conducted and completed by the Clerk of the Parliaments, and his findings have been endorsed by the House Committee. Under the procedure agreed by the House in December 2008, it has not been our task to consider an appeal, or in any way to reopen the investigation. Nevertheless, in order to come to our decision on sanction, we have had to review the facts of the case and consider a number of related issues. Our conclusions on these matters are set out below. Following the House Committee meeting on 23 March, Baroness Goudie agreed to repay a proportion of the overnight subsistence claimed, and accordingly repaid £5,130.50 to the Finance Department on 18 May 2010. This sum reflected the amount of overnight subsistence claimed by Baroness Goudie during the three months in 2008 in which she did not visit the Glasgow flat. We emphasise that this was a voluntary restitution, made in light of the Clerk’s finding that the frequency of her stays in Glasgow in 2008 fell below the agreed minimum threshold. It was not a sanction, nor is it a matter for this Committee. It was originally intended that this Committee would consider the Clerk of the Parliaments’ finding concerning Baroness Goudie early in the new Parliament. However, in the early weeks of the new Parliament, the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct began its investigation of the three complaints concerning Lord Paul, Lord Bhatia and Baroness Uddin. The Sub-Committee asked us to delay our consideration of the Clerk of the Parliaments’ report on Baroness Goudie until it had concluded its investigations into the other three Members. Shortly before we were due to meet, Baroness Goudie wrote to the Chairman of Committees apologising for any damage caused to the House by her actions. This letter is attached at Appendix 2. The facts of the case We are satisfied that the Clerk of the Parliaments’ investigation established the facts of the case so as to allow us to come to an informed judgement. His correspondence with Baroness Goudie between November 2009 and March 2010 is attached at Appendix 3. Baroness Goudie owns, individually or jointly with her husband, a number of properties, including a property near Westminster, where she resides when the House is sitting; a flat in Glasgow (which she designated as her “main residence” for the purpose of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme); and a holiday home in Cape Cod in the United States, where she spends a significant amount of time, particularly during recesses. She also travels extensively to other countries. Baroness Goudie is the sole owner and primary occupier of the Glasgow flat, which she uses as a base from which to pursue her various Scottish activities and interests. She has extensive Scottish connections, familial, business and voluntary. This is one of her main justifications for designating the Glasgow flat as her “main residence”:

“The scale of my Scottish activities and connections has been such that I have regarded my spacious and comfortable Glasgow home as my main address. Outside my participation in the House, my profile has been higher in Scotland than in London. My social network in Scotland is also extensive. I have looked upon Glasgow as my principal home, ever since I bought it.” Baroness Goudie has at no point claimed to have spent most of her time in Glasgow. She notes that as an assiduous Member of the House 118 she necessarily spends most of her time in London, while arguing that the time spent in London for the purpose of attending the House should be discounted in assessing what is her “main residence”. Of the Glasgow flat she says: “I go there when I can and do not return to London until I have to”. Summing up her relationship with the Glasgow flat, she says that Glasgow “has been my home base for my UK, non House of Lords, activities, which have been very much concentrated in Scotland and Northern Ireland.” With regard to the frequency of Baroness Goudie’s visits to Glasgow, firm evidence of her movements while the House was sitting is provided by her travel claims, which, as they related to air travel, are supported by receipts. In 2006 and 2007, as described in the report by the Clerk of the Parliaments, she visited Glasgow one or two times a month while the House was sitting, typically staying for one or two nights on each visit. In 2008, however, the frequency of her visits to Glasgow fell off, with only eight weekend visits in the course of the year. This fall-off coincided with the period leading up to, and following, a hip replacement operation in April 2008. Baroness Goudie’s visits to Glasgow in the first half of 2009 (five visits over the first six months) were also infrequent. Again restricted mobility, this time as a result of a fractured pelvis in March 2009, was a contributory factor. Since the second half of 2009 her visits have been more frequent. Baroness Goudie’s movements during recesses are not, by their nature, reflected in claims for travel expenses. However, she freely admits that she spends relatively little time in Glasgow (or indeed in London) during recesses. She notes that neither central Glasgow nor central London could be regarded as “holiday homes”, and indicates that “during recesses I am overseas a great deal and neither in Glasgow nor in London”. Instead, she spends a significant amount of time during recesses at her holiday home in Cape Cod. The opinion of the Committee As we have indicated above, it falls to us to consider whether or not to recommend a sanction. We have considered the evidence put before us (and published with this Report), but have not sought additional evidence. It has not been our task to review the decision of the Clerk of the Parliaments, which has previously been endorsed by the House Committee, although we have necessarily looked at the case as a whole. Baroness Goudie’s designation of the Glasgow flat as her “main residence” for the purposes of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme was, we believe, reasonable. Her strong personal links to the property and to the region are clear: she was the sole owner and occupier of the property; she has extensive connections in Scotland, including family and business connections; and she has In the financial year 2009/10, Baroness Goudie attended the House 105 times, out of a total of 142 sitting days.

a long record of involvement in Scottish affairs. She legitimately claims to consider Glasgow, and her flat, as her “principal home”. Moreover, Baroness Goudie’s statement that “I go there when I can, and do not return to London until I have to” is, we believe, consistent with the underlying purpose of the overnight subsistence payments made under the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme, as explained in our Report on The Conduct of Baroness Uddin: “to enable Members who lived outside London, but who, in order to attend sittings of the House, were required to stay within London ... to recover some of the costs incurred in so doing”. 119 However, Baroness Goudie’s visits to Glasgow were, even before 2008, relatively infrequent. Frequency of visit, while not necessarily the key factor in determining whether or not the designation of a particular property as a “main residence” was reasonable, is nonetheless important. For this reason, as we described in our Report on Baroness Uddin, the House Committee has agreed that, in cases where frequency of visit is an issue, 120 there should be a “minimum requirement” of at least one visit a month while the House is sitting. We believe that frequency of visit is, in the present case, a significant issue. It is evident that in 2008 in particular, Baroness Goudie’s visits to Glasgow fell below the minimum requirement. We fully acknowledge the mitigating circumstance of her reduced mobility, first as a result of a hip replacement, and later as a result of a fractured pelvis, and we accept that there was no deliberate attempt to break the rules set out in the Reimbursement Scheme. Nevertheless, it should have been apparent to her, during this period, that her continuing designation of the Glasgow flat as her “main residence” was questionable. In the circumstances, we believe that her repayment of £5,130.50, in respect of those months in 2008 when she made no visits to Glasgow, was a proportionate acknowledgement of this error of judgement. We also note that Baroness Goudie has co-operated throughout with the investigation into her conduct. She replied promptly to letters from the Clerk of the Parliaments, providing full and frank answers to his questions. She has at no stage sought to misrepresent her connection with the Glasgow flat, or the frequency of her visits there. These are significant mitigating factors. Moreover, since making her repayment in May, Baroness Goudie has written a letter containing a full and unreserved apology, expressing her wish “to make it clear how sorry I am that any of my actions have in any way damaged the House.” Her letter is published along with this Report. In conclusion, and taking into account that Baroness Goudie has repaid the sum of £5,130.50, and has made a full and unreserved apology, we do not consider that any further sanction is appropriate in this case. We therefore make no recommendation to the House, and present this Report for information.
APPENDIX 1: REPORT FROM THE CLERK OF THE PARLIAMENTS TO THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE CONDUCT OF BARONESS GOUDIE 1. The final outstanding complaint relates to Baroness Goudie who has designated a flat which she owns in Glasgow as her main residence. I asked her the same questions 119

593
about ownership, reasons for designation, frequency of stays at the residence and accuracy of travel claims that I put to other Members. 2. Baroness Goudie explained the reason for the designation of Glasgow as her main residence as follows. She has three residences: i) a holiday home abroad, ii) a residence in London and iii) a residence in Glasgow. She identifies her London home as somewhere she has to stay for the purposes of attending Parliament; and her Glasgow home as somewhere where she pursues her many Scottish activities and connections. Baroness Goudie explained that because she attends Parliament assiduously and therefore maximises the time she spends in London it does not mean that her residence in Glasgow is anything other than her main residence. She makes the point too that she travels extensively on worldwide activities, so that time not spent in Glasgow does not necessarily equate with time spent in London. 3. Although I recognise that Baroness Goudie has made a case for the designation of Glasgow as her main residence, I have some doubts about the designation. I recognise that she travels widely between her residences and elsewhere, but bearing in mind the frequency of her stays in Glasgow (dealt with below), it is not clear that the designation of Glasgow as her “main or only residence” is really based on actual residency. 4. Turning to the frequency of her stays in Glasgow, Baroness Goudie confirms that she spent one identified weekend at her main residence in the Easter recess of 2007 and two identified weekends at her main residence in the Summer recess of 2009. It is clear that she has not spent what I would regard as a significant amount of time in Glasgow during recesses. So far as weekends during Parliamentary terms are concerned, I have considered her travel claims (she travels by air, for which we have receipts). She visited the Glasgow flat once or twice a month in term time in 2007, for eight weekends in 2008; five weekends in the first six months of 2009; and since then with greater frequency. From time-to-time her visits to Glasgow have not involved an overnight stay and she confirmed that demands on her time had occasionally prevented this. My view is that visits without an overnight stay cannot be taken into account in determining frequency of stays. 5. I should indicate that there are mitigating circumstances. In April 2008 Baroness Goudie had a hip replacement operation and an accident in March 2009—both of which restricted travel. 6. Taking all the above factors into account, I believe that there is some substance in the complaint. However, I do not think that it would be right for me to uphold the complaint without qualification. Nonetheless, I do have concerns about Baroness Goudie’s designation, especially in the light of the frequency of stays there in 2008 which fell below the established minimum threshold; and I suggest that some sort of proportionate remedial action may be necessary in this case. 7. The Committee will wish to consider what action to take in view of this conclusion. If the Committee felt that a sanction of some sort should be recommended to the House, the case must be referred to the Privileges Committee. Alternatively, if the Committee does not feel that a sanction is appropriate, it could propose to Baroness Goudie that she should voluntarily repay some of the expenses claimed. My own recommendation is that the latter course may be appropriate. A possible approach, which I believe would be fair and proportionate in these circumstances, might be to propose that Baroness Goudie should repay the overnight subsistence expenses claimed in the three months in 2008 when she did not stay in the Glasgow residence.

8. The question remains whether Baroness Goudie should now redesignate her main residence. Bearing in mind that by the time the Committee considers this memorandum, the House is likely to have agreed to new procedures for the designation of principal residences, it may be sufficient to require Baroness Goudie to consider her designation afresh in the new Parliament in the light of the new rules. The Finance Department would be available to advise her accordingly. 9. In conclusion, I invite the Committee to consider what steps should be taken in view of the conclusion which I have reached about Baroness Goudie’s claim as set out in paragraph 6. Michael Pownall 18 March 2010 APPENDIX 2: LETTER FROM BARONESS GOUDIE TO THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES, DATED 24 NOVEMBER 2010 I understand that, following a decision of the House Committee earlier this year, the Committee for Privileges and Conduct is meeting shortly to consider the Clerk of the Parliament’s investigation in relation to a complaint about me arising out of a newspaper article in October last year. Because the nature of the Clerk of the Parliament’s process has meant that the Committee has not until now had the matter before it, I wanted to write to the Committee ahead of its meeting. I do not wish to repeat any of the points I made to the Clerk, but instead to make it clear how sorry I am that any of my actions have in any way damaged the House or made anything more difficult either for the House itself or for any Members of the House. I immediately accepted the conclusion of the Clerk of the Parliament, and have some time ago fully complied by making a payment to the House Authorities. I do understand that the Committee for Privileges and Conduct now needs to consider this matter, but as part of that consideration, I wanted to make sure that the Committee has before it a clear statement of my position. Not only am I sorry, I stand ready to help the Committee further with its considerations in any way I can. APPENDIX 3: CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE CLERK OF THE PARLIAMENTS AND BARONESS GOUDIE, NOVEMBER 2009–MARCH 2010 Letter from Michael Pownall, Clerk of the Parliaments, to Baroness Goudie, dated 18 November 2009 I am writing to let you know that I have received a complaint from a member of the public which alleges that you have made inappropriate use of the Members’ reimbursement scheme. It falls to me as Accounting Officer to ensure that the rules of the scheme are properly applied and the Committee for Privileges confirmed this responsibility—and my duty to consider complaints about claims under the scheme— in its 4th Report of 2007-08. The substance of the allegation is based on an article which appeared in the Sunday Times newspaper of 2S October 2009 which, as you know, alleged that the Glasgow address which you have designated as your main residence is not in fact your main
2010

595
residence. I should here stress that I am simply summarising the allegation and not making any allegation or criticism of my own. In the light of the complaint and my responsibilities mentioned above. I would be grateful if you could respond to the following questions: i) Do you own or lease the Glasgow address or is it owned or leased by a third party? Does anyone else use that address? ii) Could you confirm where you resided in the Easter and summer recesses of 2007, 2008 and 2009? iii) What factors led you to designate your Glasgow address as your main residence for the period January 2007 to July 2009? You will I am sure know that the overnight subsistence scheme is founded on resolutions of the House; the current resolution being that of 2S July 1991. It entitles Members to recover “expenses incurred in staying overnight away from their only or main residence where it is necessary to do so” for the purpose of attending sittings of the House or its Committees: only expenses actually incurred in attending Parliamentary business may be recovered. In relation to my question (iii), I am conscious that the scheme does not expand on what is a “main residence” but it would nonetheless be helpful if you could set out the reasoning behind the Glasgow designation. It would be helpful to have your response in writing but you would be most welcome to discuss the matter with me if you wish. Letter from Baroness Goudie to the Clerk of the Parliaments, dated 20 November 2009 Thank you for your letter of 18 November. I note that the “complaint” seems to be based solely on the article in the Sunday Times. Certainly there is no other basis for any complaint. As regards that article, I enclose: 1. The response I sent to the paper on Friday evening prior to the publication. 2. A note I sent following the publication of the article on the Sunday morning to voluntary organisations for whom I do pro bono work. The paper were obviously set on publishing the article before inviting my response and persisted with publication notwithstanding that my response demolished whatever “story” they may have thought they had. They had obviously been unaware of the extent of my Scottish involvement. The whole edifice was constructed only on what one of my neighbours apparently said they had not seen. This is worthless comings and goings at the block are not conspicuous. Frequently on arriving or departing I see none of my neighbours, and they will not have seen me. Also no doubt the same response could have been elicited if a like enquiry had been made of my neighbours in London. The journalist’s premise is that main residence is determined by where the most time is spent. This of course is wrong, and indeed nonsensical. Obviously much time is spent in London when the House is in session. They also assume that time not spent in Glasgow is spent in London. That is also wrong. I travel a good deal. I spend many nights away from any residence. My husband and I have a holiday home on Cape Cod, where we try to spend an increasing amount of

time. I regard the time I spend in Cape Cod and elsewhere as coming off how much time I spend in London as well as coming off how much time I spend in Glasgow. In answer to your questions: 1. I am the sole owner and primary occupier of xxx West George street Glasgow. There has never been any lease or tenancy; Apart from me it is family members who stay there. My husband and our younger son’s partner, have Scottish roots. 2. 2007 Easter Recess: Glasgow, London, Cape Cod, New York Summer Recess: Cape Cod, Bermuda, Wolverhampton, London, Glasgow, Washington. 3. 2008 Easter Recess: Glasgow, Cape Cod, Washington Summer Recess: Glasgow, Cape Cod, The Hamptons, Chicago, Manchester, Buenos Aires. 4. 2009 Easter Recess: Cape Town and Cape Cod Summer Recess: Cape Cod, New York, The Hamptons, Glasgow, London, Brighton, Belfast. 5. For the reasons I give above do not regard Cape Cod as my main residence; nor do I regard time I spend neither in London nor in Glasgow as relevant to whether London or Glasgow is my main residence, nor do I regard time I spend in London in order to attend the House of Lords as relevant. I do regard the question as being where I regard as being my main residence at other times. That has been Glasgow. I go there when I can, and do not return to London until I have to. I have spent very much more time in Glasgow than the Sunday Times gives credit for, and rather less time in London than they seem to think, other of course than time spent in London as a regular attender at the House of Lords. Enclosure Sunday Times today. 24th October 2009 Rupert Murdoch has lost no time in following up his announcement that his media outlets will be attacking the Labour Government in general and Prime Minister Brown in particular. The main item in today’s Sunday Times is entitled “Brown faces winter of discontent”. Below that is a headline about Gordon Brown’s “ally”. That is me, described in the first line of the piece as a “close friend of the Prime Minister”. The article manages at one and the same time to complain about how much travelling I do between Glasgow and London and to insinuate on the basis of one neighbour apparently not having seen me on any of my recent trips to Glasgow that, despite all my activities in Scotland, my home in Glasgow is a “questionable” basis for expenses claims. This is a complete nonsense. Please see below my statement sent to the Sunday Times on Friday evening. I confirm that I have an apartment in Glasgow City Centre at xxx West George Street, very convenient for both Central and Queen Street Stations and therefore for covering my activities in Glasgow and Edinburgh and elsewhere in Scotland and also very accessible so far as the airport is concerned. I frequently stay at xxx West George Street. Members of my family also stay there from time to time. It is of course not my only home. I am a regular attender at the House of Lords. My husband and I jointly own a mews property near Westminster. I necessarily stay there much of the time when the Lords is sitting We also have a holiday home, on Cape Cod

(where I happen to be at the moment until tomorrow following a series of Meetings in Washington DC) and I travel a great deal. Scotland however, is the base for my non-Parliamentary UK activities to which I attend when Parliamentary duties allow. My company is registered in Scotland. No doubt your researches in the archives of the Scottish media over the last decade or so have shown you the breadth and depth of public my activities in Scotland in general and Glasgow in particular. I also have many Scottish friends whom I meet privately. I have been at xxx West George Street very recently with my husband and will be there again very shortly. By way of illustration only, I have been included in the Scotsman’s “Top 50 Powerful Women” (see eg 31 August 2004) and in the (Glasgow) Herald’s “List of the Most Important Women in Scotland”. I have been on the Board of the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow, a Member of the Court of Napier University, where I was awarded an Honorary Doctorate, and Secretary of the Scottish Industry Forum. On 28th October 2006 the Scotsman described me as “one of Scottish Labour’s most prolific networkers” A main residence in Scotland has been essential for me. If anyone says that much of the time I am not at my Glasgow apartment that is true. The same could be said of out London property. I do not count nights or days. That would obviously be ridiculous. I could not be a diligent Parliamentarian without spending a good deal of time in London which I would otherwise have spent elsewhere, but, I repeat I have also been in Glasgow without making a song and dance about it. If there is anyone who is unaware of that then they are seriously misinformed. I trust that no adverse inference will be drawn from the fact that I do not hold noisy parties or otherwise create a nuisance for my neighbours to advertise my presence when I am there. Letter from the Clerk of the Parliaments to Baroness Goudie, dated 4 January 2010 I am sorry to have taken a little time to reply to your letter of 20 November together with its enclosures. I was grateful for the letter and for the brief meeting with you. Before taking the matter forward to conclusion, I hope you will permit me to follow up one or two points from your letter. Although I appreciate that you travel a great deal, could you give an indication of the number of days you spent in Glasgow in the recess mentioned in my letter of 20 November, that is the Easter and Summer recesses in 2007 to 2009. Also, although you helpfully sent me a copy of your statement to the Sunday Times setting out why you need to have a residence in Scotland, would it be possible for you to state a little more specifically what factors led you to designate the Glasgow residence as your main address? Finally, your travel claims indicate that sometimes you travel up and down to Glasgow in the same day; and I wondered if you could explain the circumstances in which this arises. If I have misunderstood the position, please forgive me. Letter from Baroness Goudie to the Clerk of the Parliaments, dated 11 January 2010 In the Easter and Summer recesses in 2007 to 2009 alone, the number of days I spent in Glasgow were at least the following: 29–31 March and 16–17 March 2007 25–27 September and 1–2 October 2009.

I would make two observations. First, in April 2008 I had a hip replacement operation. This was both preceded and followed by a period of many weeks when travelling was very restricted and then a period of recuperation on Cape Cod. Travelling was again restricted for a number of months from March 2009 when I had an accident and cracked my pelvis. Secondly, and importantly, the recesses are of course part only of the overall picture. They may not even be the most important part. Much of most recesses I have spent neither in Glasgow nor in London. On the other hand, when the House is in Session, and I am in London during the week, I have as often as possible been in Glasgow at the weekends. Generally when in Glasgow I will spend at least one night there. Occasionally there will be specific diary and travelling reasons why I need to be in both Glasgow and London on the same day. As regards to the factors which led me to designate my Glasgow residence as my main residence, there are two primary factors. The first is a process of elimination. I have never considered that my main address for present, or indeed other purposes, could be a house outside the UK, however much time I may spend there. I have never considered that the considerable time I spend in London during the working week when I am attending sittings of the House is material for present purposes. Secondly, the scale of my Scottish activities and connections has been such that I have regarded my spacious and comfortable Glasgow home as my main address. Outside my participation in the House, my profile has been higher in Scotland than in London. My social network in Scotland is also extensive. I have looked upon Glasgow as my principal home, ever since I bought it. Letter from the Clerk of the Parliaments to Baroness Goudie, dated 10 February 2010 As you may know, I am now approaching the end of my investigations into a number of complaints about Members’ expenses claims. You responded to my letters of 18 November and 3 December 2009 for which I am grateful. I hope you will permit me, however, to ask you two final questions: 1. You indicated in your letter of 11 January that you “have never considered that the considerable time I spend in London during the working week when I am attending sittings of the house is material for present purposes.” As you say, this was part of a process of elimination, but could you indicate why you readily eliminated the London residence in this way? 2. The travel claims of Members have provided some assurance on the frequency of visits to the main address. Could I ask whether your own travel claims accurately reflect the frequency of your visits to Glasgow? Also I would be very grateful if you could respond to the final point in my letter of 4 January concerning the indication from your travel claims that occasionally you appear to have travelled up and down to Glasgow in the same day. Letter from Baroness Goudie to the Clerk of the Parliaments, dated 20 February 2010 Thank you for your letter dated 10 February 2010. In response to your first question, my thinking has been as follows. Members should attend, and be encouraged to attend, the House as often as possible when the House is sitting, and therefore maximise the time they have to be in London in order to perform their duties, and minimise the time they are able to be outside London. It cannot, however, be right that the more conscientious a Member is the more likely their main
2010
7 D e cemb er APPENDIX : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmittee - 7 th Report 2010-12
599
residence is to be regarded as being in London, and the less conscientious they are the better their prospect of being regarded as having their main residence elsewhere. I therefore strongly believe that for present purposes time spent in London during the working week when I am attending sittings of the House cannot be material. A contrary view is one of the fundamental fallacies of the complaint against me. Another fundamental fallacy is the wholly erroneous assumption that when the House is not sitting, time when I am not in Glasgow is time when I am in London. That is very far from being the case. Especially during recesses I am overseas a great deal and neither in Glasgow nor in London. This is both on account of my worldwide activities and because neither the City Centre in Glasgow nor the City Centre in London is a holiday home. Glasgow however, has been my home base for my UK, non House of Lords, activities, which have been very much concentrated in Scotland and in Northern Ireland. In response to your second question, most of my visits to Glasgow will be reflected in my travel claims. I have generally travelled by air and I have generally submitted travel claims. As regards travelling up and down to Glasgow in the same day, I have always tried to stay up in Glasgow, and at least usually have managed to do so, but occasionally the pressure on demands on my time may have ruled this out. Letter from the Clerk of the Parliaments, to Baroness Goudie, dated 16 March 2010 I am writing in connection with the complaint about your expense claims. As I explained when we met on 16 March, I have decided to uphold the complaint in part. I have taken this decision because it is not clear to me that the designation of your Glasgow residence as your “main or only residence” is based on actual residency. In particular, I have come to the view that the frequency of your stays at the residence in calendar year 2008 fell short of the minimum threshold which I have established for the purposes of my investigations into complaints under the current expenses scheme. The House Committee has endorsed this threshold, below which it would not be appropriate to designate a residence as a main residence. In reaching this decision, I have taken account of all the points which you have made in your letters of 20 November, 11 January and 20 February, and during our meeting on 16 March. I have accepted that there are mitigating circumstances, which include the lack of any clear definition of a main residence under the present scheme as well as your own circumstances: the fact that you travel extensively away from your Glasgow and London residences and the medical treatment which you underwent in 2008. I am grateful for the full responses which you have submitted to my questions and for your full co-operation with my investigation. As I explained on 16 March, I reported my conclusion, as set out above, to the House Committee at its meeting on 23 March. The Committee agreed with my finding and supported my view that, whilst taking account of the mitigating circumstances mentioned above, the complaint should be upheld. The Committee took the view that you should take action to regularise the position, in particular by repaying the relevant overnight expenses. The Committee asked me to determine what might be the appropriate sum. My view is that this should extend to the overnight expenses which you claimed in the three months in 2008 (February, March and April) when you did not stay at the Glasgow residence. I am, of course, available to discuss how such repayment might be made.

I would be grateful if you could let me have a response to this conclusion as soon as you are able to. I should also inform you that the House Committee has decided to refer the complaint, in light of my conclusion, for consideration by the Committee for Privileges. I would like to include your response to the conclusion in any papers I send to the Committee for Privileges. APPENDIX 4: DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST No declarations of relevant financial or other interests were made in respect of this Report. Lord Irvine of Lairg recused himself from taking part in consideration of this Report or of the complaint against Baroness Goudie, on the basis of his relationship with Baroness Goudie and her husband, James Goudie QC.

Higher Education (Basic Amount) (England) Regulations 2010 Division No. 2 Lord Triesman moved, as an amendment to the motion to approve the draft Regulations, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “this House regrets that the Government has failed to consult adequately with parents, students, higher education bodies, employers and local authorities on raising student tuition fees and to convince many people of the fairness and sustainability of its proposals for funding higher education; urges the Government to undertake more public consultation on the issue, including consultation with future graduates and their families who did not contribute to the consultation over the Browne review; further considers that there should be an independent impact assessment on (a) the financial consequences of the proposed fees on students from both lower and middle income families, and (b) the financial consequences of the proposed fees on women, including a full assessment of the impact of the fees on equalities and fairness, and further calls on Her Majesty’s Government to commission new research to analyse the probable impact on demand for university courses of fees being increased to the range of £6,000 to £9,000 per annum from students from lower and middle income families and women; and further considers that, prior to contemplating any increase to the basic amount specified in section 24 of the Education Act 2004, the Government should publish a White Paper on reform of higher education funding, allowing for consultation and for consideration of alternative proposals.” The House divided: Contents Not-contents Contents Adams of Craigielea, B.

ADMINISTRATION AND WORKS COMMITTEE - 1ST REPORT 2010-12

121
Introduction It has become clear that the rules regulating the use of mobile telephones and other electronic devices (in this report referred to collectively as “electronic devices”) in the House are incomplete, outdated and contradictory. We have therefore decided to revise and update those rules. This report is the result of the Committee’s deliberations. It sets out the current rules and makes proposals in respect of the use of electronic devices in the Chamber, Grand Committee, select committee meetings and other parts of the House. The House is invited to agree the text of the proposed new rules set out at the end of the report. Current rules The Companion sets out the current rules in paragraph 4.14: Mobile telephones must be silent in the Chamber, Prince’s Chamber, Peers’ Lobby, division lobbies during divisions, the Moses Room and committee rooms during committee meetings. [Footnote: Also the Library, the Salisbury Room, the Writing Room, and all bars and restaurants. Elsewhere they may be used with discretion]. In the Chamber and in committee rooms, pagers or other electronic devices must not be used to transmit messages to members of the House for use in proceedings.” These rules, which embody decisions reached by this Committee almost four years ago, 121 are internally inconsistent. The rule that telephones “must be silent” in certain areas implies that they can be used in silent mode to send text messages or check emails and the internet. But the rule that they “may be used [elsewhere] with discretion” suggests that they may not be used at all (even in silent mode) in the restricted areas. Moreover, the reference to pagers is Announced by means of a Written Statement on 31 January 2007 (HL Deb., col. WS15).

outdated, and the rules do not address the use of other devices such as iPads and laptops other than in the context of the ban on transmitting messages for use in proceedings. Use of electronic devices in the Chamber and Grand Committee 4. The main consideration is for what purposes, if any, Members should be able to use electronic devices while in the Chamber or Grand Committee. 5. First, we have considered the use of electronic devices to send or receive messages for use in proceedings. On the one hand, it could be argued that since there is no bar on officials sending handwritten notes to Members (generally frontbenchers) in the Chamber and Grand Committee, the same should apply to electronic messages. But on the other hand, there is a profound difference of scale, and we are persuaded that it would not be conducive to good debate to allow Members to send or receive streams of messages to and from researchers or advisers outside the Chamber or Moses Room. We therefore recommend retaining the current rule of both Houses that electronic devices must not be used to send or receive messages for use in proceedings. 6. We have also considered the potential use of electronic devices to provide access to documents relevant to the business before the House. This could have significant benefits for Members, not least in reducing their reliance on paper copies of documents such as the Order Paper, Hansard, texts of bills or explanatory notes, white papers or other Government publications, and reports by external bodies which are the subject of debate. But we are also conscious that internet access could be abused: we do not, for instance, believe that Members participating in proceedings should be permitted to use electronic devices to search the Web speculatively in the hope of finding information for use in debate which is not generally available to other participants. 7. Policing use of the internet, and in particular distinguishing between appropriate and inappropriate use, would be difficult; in practice much would depend on self-regulation, and on the common sense and self-restraint of individual Members. But we believe that it is worth making the experiment. 8. We therefore recommend that, for a one-year trial period in the first instance, Members taking part in proceedings should be able to use electronic devices to access Parliamentary papers and other documents which are clearly and closely relevant to the business before the House or Grand Committee; we further recommend that Members should not be permitted to use the internet to search for material that might be used in the course of proceedings, but which is not generally available to participants by other means. 9. We have also considered for what other purposes Members might be able to use electronic devices (a) when not speaking and (b) when speaking. 10. On (a), we propose an approach which reflects current practice: in other words, subject to the rules above, we recommend that Members should be able to use electronic devices, in silent mode, for any purpose not related to the proceedings before the House or Grand Committee, provided they do not distract other Members. However, as a courtesy to other Members, we would discourage repeated use of such devices. 11. The issue raised in (b) is also important. There is currently no rule against using an electronic device in place of paper notes when speaking; indeed, at

least one Member has made a speech in the Chamber using his iPad in recent weeks. Notwithstanding the ban in the Commons on using electronic devices as an aide memoire while addressing the House, we see no qualitative difference between using a pad of paper for speaking notes and using an iPad or other device. Therefore, subject to the existing rule in the Companion against reading speeches, 122 and the other rules set out in this report, we recommend that Members should be permitted to refer to electronic devices when addressing the Chamber or Grand Committee. If the House agrees to allow electronic devices to be used in place of speaking notes in the Chamber and Grand Committee, it will be desirable to ask Members who use devices in this way to email text to Hansard instead of handing over the hard copy. The Editor of Hansard has confirmed that he would welcome this. Which electronic devices should be permitted? A secondary consideration is which types of electronic device Members should be permitted to use in the Chamber and Grand Committee. We believe it is important to avoid too much detail because the rules would rapidly be overtaken by new technology—as has happened with the current rules. We therefore propose that all hand-held devices should be permitted in the Chamber and Grand Committee provided that they are silent. This would exclude conventional laptops. But beyond this, we think it inadvisable to define “handheld devices”. All references to pagers will also be removed from the rules, as these are no longer in common use. Use of electronic devices in select committee meetings Select committee meetings are different in atmosphere from proceedings in the Chamber, and some Members use laptops to read the papers electronically. We therefore do not propose restrictions on the use of electronic devices in select committee meetings except to say that they must be silent. We recommend instead that the use of such devices should be at the discretion of the Chairman of each committee. Chairmen should be able to vary the use on a meeting-by-meeting basis, for instance to differentiate between public and private meetings. Use of electronic devices outside the Chamber We propose to retain the current requirement for mobile telephones (and other electronic devices) to be silent in Prince’s Chamber, Peers’ Lobby, the division lobbies during divisions, the Library, the Salisbury Room and all bars and restaurants, with the added clarification that calls cannot be made or received in those areas. The Peers’ Writing Room will be removed from the list of restricted areas because, in light of the current size of the House, it is now a hot-desking area where mobile telephone use is explicitly permitted.
See Companion to the Standing Orders, paragraph 4.38: “The House has resolved that the reading of speeches is ‘alien to the custom of this House, and injurious to the traditional conduct of its debates’ ... In practice, some speakers may wish to have ‘extended notes’ from which to speak, but it is not in the interests of good debate that they should follow them closely.”

PROCEDURE COMMITTEE - 4TH REPORT 2010-12

Election of the Lord Speaker We have considered the arrangements for the forthcoming election of the Lord Speaker. In particular, we have considered the timing of the election, and the date at which a new Lord Speaker, were one to be elected, should take office. The timing of the election is provided for in Standing Order 19(1), which states that: 19.(1)—The first election of the Lord Speaker shall be held no later than 30th June 2006. Thereafter elections shall be held (a) no more than five years after the previous election, or (b) within three months of the death of the Lord Speaker, or his giving notice of resignation, if sooner. If, after a date has been set in accordance with (a) or (b), a Dissolution of Parliament is announced, the applicable deadline shall be extended to one month after the opening of the next Parliament.

1007
We consider that the wording of the Standing Order is defective. The date of the election is fixed by reference to the preceding election. The last election took place on Wednesday 28 June 2006; if the next election is to be held on a Wednesday (the day on which attendance at the House is normally highest) the latest possible date would be Wednesday 22 June 2011. Over time, the date would be brought further forward. Moreover, if a Lord Speaker were either to die in office or resign, the timetable for all future elections would be re-set by reference to a one-off, unpredictable event, which might not be convenient for the House as a whole. We have therefore come to the conclusion, first, that the Standing Order should specify a fixed date, by which an election should be conducted every five years; and, secondly, that in the event of a Lord Speaker dying in office or resigning, subsequent elections after the one required to fill the vacancy should revert to the normal pattern. We suggest that the fixed date by which elections would be held should be 15 July. This would allow the election to be conducted and the result announced before the House rose for the summer recess. We have also considered the date at which a new Lord Speaker should take office. Some time should be given to allow a new Lord Speaker to rearrange his or her affairs, for instance in order to comply with the rules on the Lord Speaker’s financial interests. There would also be benefit in allowing a “handover” period, so that a new Lord Speaker could be fully prepared before taking on the role. We therefore suggest that a new Lord Speaker should take office on 1 September following his or her election. In practice this would mean the new Lord Speaker taking office in time for the first scheduled sitting (whether in September or October) following the summer recess. We consider that in all other respects the forthcoming election should follow the same procedure as applied in 2006. To give effect to these conclusions, we recommend that the House amend Standing Order 19 in the terms set out in Appendix 1. If the House agrees these changes, and on the assumption that there will be a contested election, the timetable and conduct of the election will be as follows: By 5pm Thursday 23 June
Candidatures to be registered. In accordance with SO 19(2), each candidate would require a proposer and a seconder.
Monday 27 June
List of candidates published and sent to all Members of the House, together with a statement of each candidate’s Parliamentary service, their entry in the Register of Lords’ Interests, and election addresses of up to 75 words.
Wednesday 29 June
Ballot papers sent to those requesting a postal vote, to be returned by 5pm on Wednesday 13 July.
Wednesday 13 July
Voting will take place from 10am to 8pm.

Tabling of oral questions We have considered proposals made by the Clerk Assistant regarding the tabling of oral questions. At present four questions are taken on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. There are no oral questions on Fridays. The fourth question on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays is a topical question, drawn in a ballot two working days earlier. Standing Order 43 states that “No notice of a Question or Motion, other than a Motion relating to a Public Bill or Order, shall be put upon the Order Paper for a date more than one month ahead”. The result is that oral questions (four for each Monday, three each for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays) may be tabled up to one calendar month ahead of the day when the question will be asked. Questions are accepted when the Table Office opens at 10.00am. These rules mean, for instance, that in any month with 31 days, four oral questions become available at 10 am on a Friday, and the other nine oral questions become available at 10 am on a Monday. Priority is given to those Members who can attend the Table Office in person at these times. These arrangements are inconvenient for many Members, particularly for those who live at some distance from London (and who may be travelling to London on Monday mornings), or who for any other reason are unable to come to the Palace in person at these times. We consider that these difficulties are best addressed, first, by amending Standing Order 43 so that the notice period for questions is reduced from one month to four weeks. This will mean that three or four questions become available each working day from Monday to Thursday. Secondly, we believe that the time for tabling questions should be changed from 10 am until 2 pm, allowing more Members, including those travelling to London or with outside commitments in the mornings, to attend the Table Office in person. A necessary consequence of this change will be that the ballot for the topical oral question, which currently takes place at 2 pm 123 on Friday, Monday and Tuesday, will be drawn instead at 1 pm. We accordingly recommend: • That Standing Order 43 be amended in the terms set out in Appendix 1, to reduce the notice period for questions and motions, other than those relating to legislation, from one month to four weeks; • That the time at which oral questions will be accepted by the Table Office (or, in recesses, by the Duty Clerk) on the day on which they become available should change from 10 am to 2 pm; See Companion to Standing Orders (2010), paragraph 6.32.

Criticism of individuals in House of Lords select committee reports On 5 July 2010 the Committee for Privileges and Conduct published its First Report of 2010-11, Mr Trevor Phillips: Allegation of Contempt. 124 The Committee, in dismissing the allegation of contempt against Mr Phillips, concluded that “in the interests of fairness, persons who are subject to criticism of a damaging and personal nature in select committee reports should have similar rights to those afforded to persons who are criticised in inquiries”. Accordingly, the Committee recommended that “the Procedure Committee be invited to consider the procedure to be followed in a case where a committee intends to make a personal criticism of a named individual (other than a Minister)”. The recommendation of the Committee for Privileges and Conduct was agreed by the House on 27 July 2010. We have accordingly considered the options for introducing additional safeguards for individuals criticised in House of Lords select committee reports. We have sought to balance the requirements of procedural fairness with the necessary freedom of committees to judge how to handle their own business. We are also conscious that there are very few cases of such criticism in House of Lords select committee reports. We are therefore not persuaded that a formal rule requiring committees to afford similar rights to those afforded to persons criticised in inquiries is necessary or proportionate. We therefore recommend that the issue be dealt with by means of new guidance to select committees, which would be issued by the Committee Office to clerks and chairmen. This guidance will draw attention to the principles of procedural fairness, and will encourage committees actively to consider on a case-by-case basis whether it would be desirable to give notice to an individual if a committee were minded to make criticisms of them of a personal nature. The guidance will also indicate when such notice might best be given; whether the individual concerned should be invited to respond to the criticism; and whether that response should be published along with the other evidence received by the Committee.
APPPENDIX 1: CHANGES TO STANDING ORDERS New text is given in bold; text to be deleted is struck through.

If, after a date has been set in accordance with (a) or (b), a Dissolution of Parliament is announced, the applicable deadline shall be extended to one month after the opening of the next Parliament. 124

19—(1) An election of a Lord Speaker shall be held on 13th July 2011. Subsequently, elections shall, subject to paragraphs (1A) and (1B), be held in the fifth calendar year following that in which the previous election was held, on a day no later than 15th July in that year. If the result of the election is approved under paragraph (5), a Lord Speaker elected under this paragraph shall take office on 1st September in the year of election. (1A) Where a Lord Speaker (including a person elected as Lord Speaker who has not yet taken office) dies, resigns or is deemed to have resigned pursuant to paragraph (8), an election of a Lord Speaker shall, subject to paragraph (1B), be held within three months of the death, the giving notice of resignation or the deemed resignation. For the purposes of paragraph (1), this election is then “the previous election”. (1B) Where a Dissolution of Parliament is announced after a date has been set for an election, the election shall take place either on the date originally set, or on a day no later than one month after the opening of the next Parliament, whichever is later. ... (8) If the House passes a motion for an Address to Her Majesty seeking the Lord Speaker’s removal from office, the Lord Speaker shall be deemed to have resigned with effect from the date on which the motion is passed. Standing Order 43: Notices not to be placed on the Order Paper more than one month four weeks ahead. 23 July 1934. 43.—(1) No notice of a Question or Motion, other than a Motion relating to a Public Bill or Order, shall be put upon the Order Paper for a date more than one month four weeks ahead, but a Lord may give notice of a Motion or Question without fixing a date for the same. (2) Except in the case of Oral Questions, the period of one month four weeks shall not include any time during which the House is in Recess. APPENDIX 2: DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST No relevant interests were declared. The Lord Speaker withdrew from the meeting for the duration of the Committee’s discussion of the election of the Lord Speaker.

Public Bodies Bill [HL] Division No. 3 Lord Hunt of Kings Heath moved amendment 71, in clause 11, page 6, line 31, to leave out subsections (7) to (10) and insert: “(7) If, after the expiry of the 60-day period, the Minister wishes to make an order in the terms of the draft, the Minister must lay before Parliament a statement— (a) stating whether any representations were made under subsection (6)(a); and (b) if any representations were so made, giving details of them. (8) Subject to subsection (10), the Minister may after the laying of such a statement make an order in the terms of the draft if it is approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.

(9) A committee of either House charged with reporting on the draft order may, at any time after the laying of a statement under subsection (7) and before the draft order is approved by that House under subsection (8), recommend under this subsection that— (a) the draft order should be approved in its current form; (b) the draft order should be amended; (c) no further proceedings be taken in relation to the draft order; or (d) it is more appropriate for the proposals raised in the draft order to be progressed through a bill rather than a statutory instrument, having regard to— (i) the public interest in the functions or decisions of the body; (ii) the need for a body to act independently of government or ministerial direction; (iii) whether the body considers issues of national importance. (10) Where a recommendation is made by a committee of either House under subsection (9)(b) in relation to a draft order, the House may not proceed unless the recommendation is in the same session— (a) rejected by a resolution of that House; or (b) the House has approved the order as revised by the committee. (11) Where a recommendation is made by a committee of either House under subsection (9)(c) or (d) in relation to a draft order, no proceedings may be taken in that House under subsection (8) unless the recommendation is in the same session rejected by a resolution of that House. (12) If, after the expiry of the 60-day period, the Minister wishes to make an order in the terms of the revised draft with material changes, the Minister must lay before Parliament— (a) a revised draft order; and (b) a statement providing details of— (i) any representations made under subsection (6)(a); and (ii) the revisions proposed. (13) The Minister may, after laying a revised order and statement under subsection (12), make an order in the terms of the revised draft if it is approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. (14) However, a committee of either House charged with reporting on the revised draft may, at any time after the revised draft order is laid under subsection (12) and before it is approved under subsection (13), recommend under this subsection that no further proceedings be taken in relation to the revised draft order. (15) Where a recommendation is made by a committee of either House under subsection (14) in relation to a revised draft order, no proceedings may be taken in relation to the revised draft order in that House unless the recommendation is, in the same session, rejected by resolution of that House. (16) For the purposes of subsections (8) and (13), an order is made in the terms of a draft order if it contains no material changes to the provisions of the draft order.” The House divided: Contents Not-contents Contents Adonis, L.

Members leaving the House The report of the Leader’s Group on Members Leaving the House was published on 13 January 2011. 1 The Group made a number of recommendations, both on strengthening the existing leave of absence scheme, and on the introduction of a scheme of “voluntary retirement” from the House. On the same day as the report was published, the Leader of the House made the following Written Ministerial Statement: “I have today published the report of the Leader’s Group on Members Leaving the House. The group, chaired by Lord Hunt of Wirral, was set up in July 2010 to look into ways to identify options for allowing Members to leave the House of Lords permanently.
HL Paper 83. The Group’s Interim Report (HL Paper 48) had previously been debated in the House, on 16 November 2010 (HL Deb., cols 673–711). The Group was chaired by Lord Hunt of Wirral; the remaining members were Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton, Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, Baroness Murphy, Baroness Scott of Needham Market and Baroness Sharples.

2011
The report proposes a number of sensible and business-like steps that the House can take forward—without recourse to legislation—to enable Members to step down from participation. The report also endorses the Government’s view that any such moves should not create additional costs to the taxpayer. I intend to act quickly to take forward the group’s key recommendations. I will therefore ask the Procedure Committee to come forward with proposals that can be put to the House so that: arrangements for leave of absence are immediately strengthened in order to encourage those who, for whatever reason, are unable to play a full part in the work of the House, to step down from active membership; and a scheme is established to allow Members to give notice of their intention to retire from membership of the House permanently on a voluntary basis.” 1 This report accordingly brings forward proposals to implement the recommendations of the Leader’s Group. We have not re-examined the issues underlying the Group’s findings; instead we have translated the Group’s recommendations into text that will, if agreed by the House, be included in future editions of the Companion to the Standing Orders (see Appendix 1). For comparison, the current Companion text on leave of absence is given in Appendix 2. We have also proposed amendments to Standing Order 22 on leave of absence (see Appendix 3). These amendments do not refer to voluntary retirement, which, as the Leader’s Group described it, would be an informal scheme, designed to allow any member to “give notice of his or her wish permanently to leave the membership of the House.” 2 We have not considered those elements of the Leader’s Group’s recommendations, such as provision to override the entitlement to a Writ of Summons, a scheme of “associate membership”, or extension of the parliamentary franchise to retired Members, 3 which would require primary legislation. Nor have we considered the financial aspects of any scheme for voluntary retirement, which, were the House to agree to this report, would be a matter for the House Committee. In other words, what we propose is only the outline of what may in due course become a more formal and detailed scheme. Nevertheless, we believe that the proposals set out in the Appendices to this report are workable, and represent an important step forward for the House. We invite the House to agree the changes to the leave of absence scheme, the proposed scheme for voluntary retirement, and the amendments to Standing Order 22, set out in Appendices 1 to 3 of this report. If this report is agreed to, the proposed scheme for voluntary retirement will come into effect immediately. If the House agrees the amendments to Standing Order 22, the extension of the notice period for termination of leave of absence, from one to three months, will also take effect immediately. The new arrangements whereby the Clerk of the Parliaments writes to Members who attend the House very infrequently will in practice be implemented with effect from the start of the next session, in spring 2012.

APPPENDIX 1: PROPOSED TEXT FOR THE COMPANION TO THE STANDING ORDERS The following text is proposed for inclusion in future editions of the Companion, replacing paragraphs 1.27–1.29 of the 2010 edition (for which see Appendix 2). Paragraph 1.30, which describes access to facilities for those on Leave of Absence, would also require minor amendment to extend it to members who have taken voluntary retirement. A separate amendment would be required to paragraph 4 of the Code of Conduct, to exclude those who have taken voluntary retirement from the provisions of the Code. Leave of Absence Members of the House are to attend the sittings of the House. If they cannot attend, they should obtain leave of absence. 1 At any time during a Parliament, a member of the House may obtain leave of absence for the rest of the Parliament by applying in writing to the Clerk of the Parliaments. Before the beginning of every Parliament the Clerk of the Parliaments writes to each member who was on leave of absence at the end of the preceding Parliament to ask whether he wishes to renew that leave of absence for the new Parliament. In addition, at the start of each session of Parliament the Clerk of the Parliaments writes to those members (other than bishops) who attended very infrequently in the previous session, inviting them to apply for Leave of Absence. The House grants leave of absence to those who apply. The House also grants leave to all members, to whom the Clerk of the Parliaments has written as described in the preceding paragraph, who fail to reply within three months of the Clerk of the Parliaments’ letter being sent. Directions relating to those on leave of absence are as follows: (a) a member of the House who has been granted leave of absence should not attend sittings of the House or of any committee of the House until his leave has expired or been terminated, except to take the oath of allegiance; 2 (b) a member of the House on leave of absence who wishes to attend during the period for which leave was granted should give notice in writing to the Clerk of the Parliaments at least three months before the day on which he wishes to attend; and his leave is terminated three months from the date of this notice, or sooner if the House so directs; 3 (c) a member of the House on leave of absence may not act as a supporter in the ceremony of introduction; 4 (d) a member of the House on leave of absence may not vote in the election of the Lord Speaker or in by-elections for hereditary peers. In applying the provisions on leave of absence the Clerk of the Parliaments may seek the advice of the Leave of Absence Sub-Committee of the Procedure Committee. The Sub-Committee is chaired by the Chairman of Committees; the other members are the Chief Whips of the three main parties and the Convenor of the Crossbench Peers.

The voluntary retirement scheme Any member of the House of Lords may, at any time, write to the Clerk of the Parliaments indicating his or her wish permanently to retire from the service of the House. By retiring from the service of the House a member indicates his or her wish permanently to cease taking any part in the work of the House; and the House, in return, recognises the member’s completed service to the House. Having received an application to retire, the Clerk of the Parliaments consults the Lord Speaker and the member’s party or group, who in turn consult the member and seek confirmation that it is his or her intention to retire permanently from the service of the House. Not less than two weeks is allowed for this informal consultation to be completed. The Lord Speaker notifies the House on the day the retirement takes effect. Retirement is also marked informally outside the Chamber. Members who have retired from the service of the House should not attend sittings of the House or of any committee of the House. They may not vote in any election of the Lord Speaker or by-elections for hereditary peers. Retired members may sit on the steps of the Throne, and are afforded the same access to other facilities as members on Leave of Absence, with the exception that they are not entitled to receive parliamentary papers. Retired members are not subject to the Code of Conduct. Retired members remain peers, and retirement does not affect the use of their title. Retired Members also continue to be treated for the purposes of general law as Members of the House. APPENDIX 2: PRESENT RULES ON LEAVE OF ABSENCE Paragraphs 1.27–1.29 of the Companion currently read as follows: Leave of absence 1.27 Members of the House are to attend the sittings of the House. If they cannot attend, they should obtain leave of absence. 1.28 At any time during a Parliament, a member of the House may obtain leave of absence for the rest of the Parliament by applying in writing to the Clerk of the Parliaments. Before the beginning of every Parliament the Clerk of the Parliaments writes to each member who was on leave of absence at the end of the preceding Parliament to ask whether he wishes to apply for leave of absence for the new Parliament. The House grants leave to those who so apply. In addition, the Dissolution Notice sent to all members of the House at the opening of a new Parliament invites other members who wish to apply to communicate with the Clerk of the Parliaments. 1.29 Directions relating to those on leave of absence are as follows: (a) a member of the House who has been granted leave of absence is expected not to attend sittings of the House until his leave has expired or been terminated, except to take the oath of allegiance; (b) a member of the House on leave of absence who wishes to attend during the period for which leave was granted is expected to give notice in writing to the Clerk of the Parliaments at least one month before the day on which he

wishes to attend; and his leave is terminated one month from the date of this notice, or sooner if the House so directs; (c) a member of the House on leave of absence may not act as a supporter in the ceremony of introduction; (d) a member of the House on leave of absence may not vote in the election of the Lord Speaker or in by-elections for hereditary peers. APPENDIX 3: CHANGES TO STANDING ORDER 22 New text is given in bold; text to be deleted is struck through. Standing Order 22: Leave of absence. 13 June 1958 22.—(1) Lords are to attend the sittings of the House or, if they cannot do so, obtain leave of absence, which the House may grant at pleasure; but this Standing Order shall not be understood as requiring a Lord who is unable to attend regularly to apply for leave of absence if he proposes to attend as often as he reasonably can. (2) A Lord may apply for leave of absence at any time during a Parliament for the remainder of that Parliament. (3) On the issue of writs for the calling of a new Parliament the Clerk of the Parliaments shall in writing ask every Lord who was on leave of absence at the end of the preceding Parliament whether he wishes to apply for leave of absence for the new Parliament. (4) At the start of each session of Parliament the Clerk of the Parliaments may in writing ask any Lord Temporal not on leave of absence, suspended or otherwise disqualified from attending the House, who in the previous session attended the House very infrequently, whether he wishes to apply for leave of absence for the remainder of the Parliament. (5) Any Lord who fails to reply to a letter sent by the Clerk of the Parliaments pursuant to paragraph (3) or (4) above within three months from the date the letter was sent shall be granted leave of absence for the remainder of the Parliament. (6) A Lord who has been granted leave of absence is expected should not to attend the sittings of the House until the period for which the leave was granted has expired or the leave has sooner ended, unless it be to take the Oath of Allegiance. (7) If a Lord, having been granted leave of absence, wishes to attend during the period for which the leave was granted, he is expected to should give notice to the House accordingly at least one three months before the day on which he wishes to attend; and at the end of the period specified in the notice, or sooner if the House so direct, the leave shall end. (8) In applying the provisions of this Standing Order the Clerk of the Parliaments may seek the advice of the Leave of Absence Sub-Committee of the Procedure of the House Committee.

Leave of Absence Sub-Committee Further to the House’s agreement to the Committee’s Fifth Report on Members Leaving the House, on 27 June 2011, we have appointed a Leave of Absence Sub-Committee. The Sub-Committee will be chaired by the Chairman of Committees, and made up of those holding the offices of Chief Whip of the three main parties and Convenor of the Crossbench Peers. The first Members of the Sub-Committee are therefore as follows: Baroness Anelay of St Johns Lord Bassam of Brighton Lord Brabazon of Tara (Chairman) Baroness D’Souza Lord Shutt of Greetland

Reasoned prayers We have considered a letter from Lord Knight of Weymouth to the Chairman of Committees, suggesting that it should in future be permissible to add “reasons” to a prayer to annul a negative instrument. Lord Knight draws attention to a comment in the report of the Joint Committee on Conventions in 2006, that “the most constructive way for the Lords, as the revising Chamber, to reject an SI is by motion (or amendment) incorporating a reason, making it clear both before and after the debate what the issue is.” The Joint Committee also remarked in a footnote that while such reasons could, in the case of an affirmative instrument, be set out in an amendment to the motion to approve the instrument, appending such a reason to a prayer to annul a negative instrument would be “novel”. 1 We believe that it would be helpful to Members and to the Government if reasons could be appended to prayers to annul negative instruments. However, we emphasise that it is for ministers to decide how to exercise powers delegated to them by Parliament, subject to whatever form of parliamentary control is set out in the primary legislation. A prayer to annul a negative instrument, if agreed to, is final and irreversible. The reasons added to such a motion should be just that—reasons explaining why it has been tabled. It would be undesirable, and indeed constitutionally inappropriate, for further conditions or requirements to be added to the motion, for instance calls that the Government should take certain steps before re-laying the instrument. We therefore propose that such “reasoned prayers” should typically take the following form: “Lord [name] to move that a Humble Address be presented to Her Majesty praying that the [title] Regulations 2011, laid before the House on [date], be annulled, on the grounds that [insert reasons].” The Clerks would be authorised to refuse to table motions which did not follow this form. We recommend that in future Members should be permitted to add reasons to prayers to annul negative instruments. Such motions should be in the form set out in paragraph 5 above. Multiple motions on negative instruments At present motions relating to negative instruments are, in accordance with Standing Order 40, required to be “entered in the Order Paper in the order in which they are received at the Table.” Until recently this caused little difficulty, as such motions were relatively rare. However, in a recent case, on 22 March 2011, three motions were tabled on one instrument. The first was non-fatal (a motion of regret), the second fatal (a prayer to annul) and the third non-fatal (another motion of regret). This does not make sense: a fatal motion, if agreed to, would normally pre-empt non-fatal motions. It should therefore be decided upon first.

2011
The simplest way to allow greater flexibility is to add negative instruments be added to those categories of business listed in Standing Order 40(8), whose precedence may be varied “if the convenience of the House so requires.” This would allow some adjustment to be made to the ordering of multiple motions on a single negative instrument. We do not propose that negative instruments be added to those categories of business listed in Standing Order 40(4), which have precedence over other types of business on all sitting days except Thursdays. Thus on those days motions on negative instruments will continue to be placed on the Order Paper after Public Bills, Measures, Affirmative instruments and reports from Select Committees. We therefore recommend that the words “, negative instruments” should be added, after “affirmative instruments”, in Standing Order 40(8). The effect of this change will be that a prayer to annul a negative instrument will normally be entered in the Order Paper before other motions relating to the same instrument. Balloted Thursday debates In its Third Report of this session the Committee recommended as follows: • That general debate days in the current session should run from the start of the session (May 2010) to the end of May 2011, and from the return of the House in October 2011 until the end of January 2012; • That in future sessions general debate days on Thursdays should run from the start of the session until the end of January the following year. These recommendations were agreed by the House on 16 December 2010. As a result, the list of Motions for balloted debate was withdrawn from House of Lords Business on 4 April, after the final balloted debates covering the period up to the end of May were drawn. We have now decided that the list of motions for balloted debate should be reopened on Monday 5 September. The date for the first balloted debates, which will fall in October, has yet to be agreed, but will be published when the list is opened. We have also considered the timetable for balloted Thursday debates for the remainder of this session and for future sessions. Prior to the House’s decision last December, and to the change in the sessional timetable, the rule was that in a normal full session every Thursday from the beginning of the session until the end of June was set aside for general debates; one Thursday in each month up to the Whitsun recess was set aside for two balloted debates. With a view to replicating a similar pattern, we recommend that in the current and in future sessions one Thursday in each month up to the end of December should be set aside for two balloted debates.

(HL Bill 91–EN) 8 Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011 Baroness Verma moved that the draft Order laid before the House on 27 June be approved. Then Lord Waddington moved, as an amendment to the original motion, to insert at the end “but that this House regrets that the Regulations seem likely to reinforce the failure of equality law to take proper account of freedom of religion and conscience; and notes that the Regulations appear to burden further the public sector with unnecessary bureaucracy and target-setting and will in effect promote equality of outcomes rather than equality of opportunity.” After debate, the amendment was disagreed to (see division list 1). Then Lord Low of Dalston moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Baroness Verma, to insert at the end “but that this House regrets that the Government have seriously weakened the Regulations, making it more difficult to hold public bodies to account; and calls on the Government to withdraw the Regulations and re-lay the earlier version published in January which required public bodies to publish information on equality analyses they have undertaken, to set objectives designed to facilitate compliance with the General Equality Duty and publish information about the engagement they have had with affected groups when developing these objectives, and to report annually on progress towards meeting these objectives, all of which is critical to ensuring that the General Equality Duty produces tangible and positive outcomes.” The amendment was disagreed to (see division list 2). Then the original motion was agreed to.

Orders laid under clauses 7(2) and 9 of the Localism Bill We have considered proposals from the Leader of the House on how the House should scrutinise draft orders laid under clauses 7(2) and 9 of the Localism Bill 1, in the event that the bill currently before Parliament is enacted. The procedures for making orders under the Localism Bill are modelled on the procedures for making Legislative Reform Orders under the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006. The House already has processes in place for scrutinising draft orders laid under that Act (see Paragraphs 10.19–10.31 of the Companion to the Standing Orders). We therefore recommend that the same processes should apply to draft orders laid under clause 7(2) of the Localism Bill, and section 5E(2) of the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 as inserted by clause 9 of the Localism Bill. We further recommend that the House should appoint the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee as the committee charged with reporting on draft orders laid clauses 7(2) and 9 of under Localism Bill, and that the revised Terms of Reference of the committee given in the Appendix be agreed to.
References to clause numbers are to the Localism Bill (As Amended on Report), HL Bill 100-I.

Orders laid under the Public Bodies Bill We have considered proposals from the Leader of the House on how the House should scrutinise draft orders laid under clause 11(1) and (8) of the Public Bodies Bill 1, in the event that the Bill currently before Parliament is enacted. A summary of the relevant provisions in the Bill is given below. Provisions in the bill Clause 11(1) of the bill provides that the Minister may lay a draft order and accompanying Explanatory Memorandum before Parliament no sooner than 12 weeks after the day on which the consultation period began. The bill sets out the information that the Explanatory Memorandum must present. From the day on which the draft order is laid, a 30-day period starts ticking. Within this period, the bill provides that either House of Parliament may decide that an enhanced affirmative procedure should apply to the draft order. This can be triggered in one of two ways: by resolution of either House, or on the recommendation of a committee of either House charged with reporting on the draft order, provided that the recommendation of that committee is not rejected by resolution of the relevant House within the 30-day period. If the 30-day period lapses without either House or a Committee of either House triggering the application of an enhanced affirmative procedure, then the draft order may be approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament once a further 10 days have elapsed (creating a 40-day scrutiny period in total), and the Minister may subsequently make an order in those terms. If, however, either House or a Committee of either House has—within the 30day period—triggered the application of an enhanced affirmative procedure, then a further 30-day period must be allowed to lapse (creating a 60-day scrutiny period in total). The Bill provides that where the enhanced affirmative procedure has been applied, the Minister “must have regard to (a) any representations, (b) any resolution of either House of Parliament, and (c) any recommendations of a committee of either House of Parliament charged with reporting on the draft order, made during the 60-day period”. Once the 60-day period has lapsed, the draft order may be approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament, or, if the Minister wishes to make material changes to the order, a revised draft order and accompanying statement summarising the changes proposed may be laid before Parliament. No further scrutiny period applies before the revised draft order may be approved by a resolution of each House. Scrutiny arrangements Under the proposals brought forward by the Leader of the House, which we endorse, draft orders under the Public Bodies Act would be subject to scrutiny by the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments in the normal way.
References to clause numbers are to the Public Bodies Bill (as first printed for the Commons), Bill 188.

In this House, the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee would be charged with reporting on draft orders laid under the Public Bodies Act. The Committee would have the following roles: • Recommending whether the enhanced affirmative procedure should apply in respect of specific draft orders (see paragraph 31 above); • Reporting as to whether the statutory tests for orders set out in Clauses 8 and 10 have been met; • Where an enhanced affirmative procedure has been applied and the Committee wishes to do so, making recommendations in respect of the draft order within the 60-day period The House would retain the right to override the Committee’s recommendation on the procedure that should apply to a draft order by resolution, and it would be open to any Member to table such a resolution. Where the Committee had recommended an enhanced affirmative procedure, a resolution seeking to override that recommendation might take the following form: [Title] Order 2011 Lord xxx to move that, notwithstanding the recommendation of the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee in its xxth Report (HL Paper xx), the [title] Order 2011 shall be subject to the ordinary affirmative procedure. It would also be open to any Member of the House to table a free-standing motion for resolution seeking to apply the enhanced affirmative procedure. Either form of resolution would have to be passed by the House within the 30day period in order to take effect. We expect that to facilitate this process the Merits Committee would report as early as possible within the 30-day period and that the House would normally wait for the Committee to report before debating and deciding on a resolution. The Merits Committee’s Terms of Reference would be amended to reflect its role in scrutinising draft orders laid under the Public Bodies Act, and revised terms of reference are set out in the Appendix. Approval by resolution of draft orders Draft orders laid under the Public Bodies Act would be subject to approval by resolution of both Houses after the expiry of the relevant scrutiny period. When a draft order which has been subject to the enhanced affirmative procedure is presented to the House for approval, the Minister will be expected to explain how regard has been had to any representations, resolutions of either House or recommendations of the committee charged with reporting on the draft order received within the 60-day period. This explanation would either be given at the despatch box, during the debate on the draft order, or by means of a Written Ministerial Statement laid prior to the debate. Rather than proceeding with the original draft order, the Minister may under clause 11(8) choose to lay a revised draft order incorporating material changes. A revised order should be accompanied by a statement summarising the changes proposed. Revised draft orders laid under clause 11(8) would be subject to scrutiny by the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments in the same way as other draft orders subject to the affirmative procedure, and in respect of any material changes, by the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee.

Recommendation We recommend the procedures described in paragraphs 12–19 above, in respect of the scrutiny of draft orders laid under clause 11(1) and (8) of the Public Bodies Bill, should the bill currently before Parliament be enacted, to the House. We further recommend that the amended terms of reference of the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee, set out in the Appendix to this Report, be agreed to.
APPENDIX Proposed revised terms of reference of the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee The Committee shall: (i) report whether the provisions of any bill inappropriately delegate legislative power, or whether they subject the exercise of legislative power to an inappropriate degree of parliamentary scrutiny; (ii) report on documents and draft orders laid before Parliament under sections 14 and 18 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006; (iii) report on documents and draft orders laid before Parliament under or by virtue of section 7(2) of the Localism Act 2011 or under or by virtue of section 5E(2) of the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004; and (iv) perform, in respect of draft orders referred to in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above, and in respect of subordinate provisions orders made or proposed to be made under the Regulatory Reform Act 2001, the functions performed in respect of other instruments and draft instruments by the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments. Proposed revised terms of reference of the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee (1) The Committee shall, with the exception of those instruments in paragraphs (3) and (4), consider— (a) every instrument (whether or not a statutory instrument), or draft of an instrument, which is laid before each House of Parliament and upon which proceedings may be, or might have been, taken in either House of Parliament under an Act of Parliament; (b) every proposal which is in the form of a draft of such an instrument and is laid before each House of Parliament under an Act of Parliament, with a view to determining whether or not the special attention of the House should be drawn to it on any of the grounds specified in paragraph (2). (2) The grounds on which an instrument, draft or proposal may be drawn to the special attention of the House are— (a) that it is politically or legally important or gives rise to issues of public policy likely to be of interest to the House; (b) that it may be inappropriate in view of changed circumstances since the enactment of the parent Act; (c) that it may inappropriately implement European Union legislation;
2011
24-25 October APPENDIX 3 : Procedure Co mmitte e - 7 th Report 2010 -12
1563
(d) that it may imperfectly achieve its policy objectives. (3) The exceptions are— (a) remedial orders, and draft remedial orders, under section 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998; (a) draft orders under sections 14 and 18 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006, and subordinate provisions orders made or proposed to be made under the Regulatory Reform Act 2001; (b) Measures under the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act 1919 and instruments made, and drafts of instruments to be made, under them. (4) The Committee shall report on draft orders and documents laid before Parliament under section 11(1) of the Public Bodies Act 2011 in accordance with the procedures set out in sections 11(5) and (6).

PRIVILEGES AND CONDUCT COMMITTEE - 8TH REPORT 2010-12 THE CONDUCT OF LORD TAYLOR OF WARWICK

Background The Committee has considered a report by the Commissioner for Standards on the conduct of Lord Taylor of Warwick. The Committee has also considered a report by the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct, which, in light of the Commissioner’s report, recommended a sanction. The procedure followed in this case has, as closely as possible, 1 followed that described in the Guide to the Code of Conduct, 2 which was adopted by the House in March 2010. According to this procedure, the Commissioner is charged with investigating allegations against Members. He reports his findings to the SubCommittee, which, if the Commissioner has found against the Member, recommends any action that the Member concerned should take and any sanction that the House should apply. Although the Sub-Committee may comment on the Commissioner’s report, it does not reopen the Commissioner’s findings, which are reported without amendment to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. The Member may then appeal to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct against the Commissioner’s findings, the Sub-Committee’s recommended sanction, or both. Summary of the case On 25 January 2011 Lord Taylor was found guilty at Southwark Crown Court on six counts of ‘furnishing false information relating to accounts’ contrary to section 17 (1) (b) of the Theft Act 1968. On 31 May 2011 he was sentenced to a total term of 12 months’ imprisonment. He was released under licence after serving a quarter of this sentence. The charges against Lord Taylor related to claims made under the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme, relating to his designation of a property in Oxford as his ‘main place of residence’. On the basis of this designation, Lord Taylor claimed, and was paid, night subsistence and travel expenses. The court’s conclusion was that the designation was false, and the claims made in respect of the designation fraudulent. It follows that Lord Taylor was, in respect of the claims to which the charges against him related, also in breach of the rules of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme.
The original complaint against Lord Taylor of Warwick was received in August 2009. An investigation was begun, under the procedure then in place, by the Clerk of the Parliaments, but this investigation was suspended pending the conclusion of the police investigation into his conduct and his subsequent criminal trial. The investigation was only re-started after Lord Taylor was sentenced, on 31 May 2011, and at this point the Clerk of the Parliaments decided to seek the assistance of the Commissioner with a view to following, as closely as possible, the new procedures agreed in 2010. 2 Guide to the Code of Conduct, paragraphs 122–137.

The charges preferred against Lord Taylor by the Crown Prosecution Service related to his claims in respect of March 2006, June 2006, October 2006, March 2007, June 2007 and October 2007. The total amount of night subsistence and travel expenses claims covered by the six counts amounts to £11,277.80. In March 2011, following his conviction, Lord Taylor repaid this sum to the House of Lords. The House of Lords Finance Department holds original claim forms submitted by Lord Taylor dating back to 1 March 2006. Earlier records have been disposed of in line with the House’s record management and disposal policy. The Commissioner, having analysed all Lord Taylor’s claims, found a number of claims which were substantially identical to those which figured in the criminal charges against him, in that they related to the same address in Oxford. He found that over the period for which the House holds records, Lord Taylor claimed a total of £24,311.70 in night subsistence and travel expenses. It follows that he “dishonestly obtained a further £13,033.90 from the House of Lords”. Lord Taylor accepts this finding by the Commissioner, and in early October he repaid a further £13,033.90 to the House. He has therefore repaid all the money that he dishonestly claimed in the period for which the House holds records. Co-operation with the Commissioner The Commissioner first wrote to Lord Taylor at Wandsworth Prison, following his conviction and sentencing, on 16 June 2011. The Commissioner sent a second letter on 12 July, inviting Lord Taylor to provide a full written response to the allegations against him by 5 August. Lord Taylor replied on 21 July, requesting that he be allowed to wait until after his release before responding in full. The Commissioner then wrote a further letter on 4 August, declining Lord Taylor’s request to postpone responding until after his release, and setting a revised deadline of 26 August for a response. The Commissioner repeated his offer to meet Lord Taylor in prison. Lord Taylor’s reply is dated 23 August. In it, Lord Taylor again asked to be allowed to wait until after his release (now scheduled for 31 August) before responding in full. This letter did not reach the Commissioner until 22 September; in the meantime, on the basis of Lord Taylor’s apparent failure to reply to his letter of 4 August, the Commissioner submitted a report to the Clerk of the Parliaments (referred in turn to the Sub-Committee) in which he found that Lord Taylor, in addition to his breach of the rules set out in the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme, had failed to comply with the requirement in paragraph 20 of the Code of Conduct that Members “shall co-operate, at all stages, with any investigation into their conduct by or under the authority of the House.” The Sub-Committee considered the Commissioner’s report on 12 October 2011. They state that they do “not believe that it would be appropriate, in this case, for any period of suspension to last for a period less than the remaining period of Lord Taylor’s sentence, i.e. until 30 May 2012.” Their final recommendation is that Lord Taylor “be suspended from the service of the House for 12 months, starting on the date on which any suspension motion is agreed by the House”. Lord Taylor’s appeal Lord Taylor submitted a written appeal against the Commissioner’s finding that he had failed to co-operate with the investigation into his conduct. Lord Taylor

drew attention to the difficulties he had experienced in prison; to the fact that he had voluntarily not attended the House since his conviction in January; and to his prompt repayment of the money owed by him to the House. He accordingly asked that the suspension be “as short as possible”. In considering Lord Taylor’s appeal, we acknowledge that he was not formally notified at the start of the Commissioner’s investigation of the requirement under the Code that he co-operate with the investigation, and that failure to co-operate might be deemed a breach of the Code; we also note that when the Commissioner made his report to the Sub-Committee, on 1 September, Lord Taylor’s letter of 23 August had not yet reached him, and thus he was not in possession of all the facts relevant to the case. At the same time, we emphasise the vital importance of the duty placed upon Members by paragraph 20 of the Code to co-operate with any investigation into their conduct. Every Member of the House, immediately after taking the oath of allegiance, signs an undertaking to abide by the Code, and it is their responsibility to be aware of the provisions it contains. We have concluded that, on the balance of probabilities, Lord Taylor could have co-operated more fully with the Commissioner’s investigation. We therefore do not uphold Lord Taylor’s appeal. The verdict of the court This case and that of Lord Hanningfield are the first in which Members have been subject to internal disciplinary proceedings in respect of actions which have also been the subject of criminal prosecution. Both Members have been found guilty, and have been punished with prison sentences. It was for the court to hear all the evidence in Lord Taylor’s case, to weigh it and reach a verdict. The judge’s sentencing remarks set out the factors that weighed with him in determining that a sentence of 12 months’ imprisonment was appropriate. We agree with the Sub-Committee that Lord Taylor should not be eligible to return to the House before the whole sentence imposed by the court has run its course. Conclusion We acknowledge that Lord Taylor has acceded to requests not to attend the House since his conviction in January, but agree with the Sub-Committee that it would not be appropriate for his suspension to last for a period less than the remainder of his sentence. Taking all the circumstances of the case into account, we uphold the Sub-Committee’s recommendation that Lord Taylor be suspended from the House for twelve months, and recommend that the twelve months should be deemed to have commenced on the date he was sentenced, 31 May 2011. We recommend that Lord Taylor of Warwick be suspended from the service of the House for twelve months, with effect from 31 May 2011.

APPENDIX 1: REPORT FROM THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON LORDS’ CONDUCT The conduct of Lord Taylor of Warwick 1. We have received a report from the Commissioner for Standards on the use of the members’ reimbursement scheme by Lord Taylor of Warwick. 2. Lord Taylor was found guilty on 25 January 2011 of six counts of ‘furnishing false information relating to accounts’, specifically relating to claims for night subsistence and travelling expenses, contrary to contrary to section 17(1)(b) of the Theft Act 1968. 1 On 31 May 2011, he was sentenced to a total term of 12 months’ imprisonment. Following the completion of the judicial process, the Clerk of the Parliaments was able to resume the inquiry into Lord Taylor’s use of the members’ reimbursement scheme which had been initiated by his predecessor in 2009 following the receipt of complaints. 3. The Clerk of the Parliaments asked the Commissioner for his assistance in completing the inquiry into Lord Taylor. The Commissioner’s report is therefore made to the Clerk of the Parliaments, who has submitted it to us. The Clerk of the Parliaments submitted the report to us on 29 September, asking the Sub-Committee to consider the report and recommend to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct what further action, if any, should be taken. The Commissioner’s findings 4. The Commissioner found that Lord Taylor breached the rules of the members’ reimbursement scheme by falsely designating an address in Oxford as his main residence in order to claim night subsistence and related travelling expenses. He found that Lord Taylor wrongfully claimed a total of £24,311.70. He noted that Lord Taylor had, in March 2011, repaid the House of Lords a sum of £11,277.80 in respect of the claims submitted by him which subsequently formed the grounds for the six specimen charges of false accounting which he faced. 5. The Commissioner stated that Lord Taylor had declined to co-operate with him. Lord Taylor’s response 6. In response to a letter from the Clerk of the Parliaments dated 14 September 2011, Lord Taylor accepted “that I was found guilty by the jury” and asked that, if a period of suspension were to be imposed, “it be as short as possible so that I can continue to be an active member of the House of Lords.” Lord Taylor further agreed to repay the outstanding sums wrongfully claimed “as soon as possible”. £13,027.90 was received by the House of Lords Finance Department on 6 October. 2 Conclusion 7. We are impressed with the thoroughness and fairness with which the Commissioner for Standards conducted his investigation and prepared his report. We agree with the Commissioner’s finding that Lord Taylor of Warwick breached the rules of the members’ reimbursement scheme by wrongfully claiming a total of £24,311.70 for night subsistence and travelling expenses to which he was not entitled.

The trial of Lord Taylor took place at Southwark Crown Court. A £6 transaction fee had been deducted from the sum transferred. This additional sum was received by the House on 11 October. 2

8. In considering what sanction to apply, we have taken into account the following factors: • Mr Justice Saunders, in his sentencing remarks, noted that “The jury were clearly satisfied that the account that Lord Taylor gave in the witness box was untrue and concluded that he was lying.” • Lord Taylor was sentenced to a period of 12 months’ imprisonment of which he has served three months. He has been released on licence until 30 May 2012. • Lord Taylor did not co-operate with the Commissioner’s investigation. • Lord Taylor has now repaid the sums wrongfully claimed. • Lord Taylor has voluntarily absented himself from the House since 31 January 2011. 9. We consider that Mr Justice Saunders took into account all relevant mitigating factors, including Lord Taylor’s record of public service, in determining the prison sentence for the criminal conviction. We do not believe that it would be appropriate, in this case, for any period of suspension to last for a period less than the remaining period of Lord Taylor’s sentence, i.e. until 30 May 2012. 10. We believe that Lord Taylor’s actions in pleading not guilty and lying under oath brought the House into disrepute. This was exacerbated by the way in which he sought to implicate another individual in his actions. 11. We emphasise that the need to co-operate with investigations by the Commissioner is itself a requirement of the Code of Conduct (paragraph 20). 1 Co-operation with the Commissioner is of the utmost importance in order to enable the Commissioner to investigate complaints in a timely, thorough and fair manner. That Lord Taylor failed to comply with this requirement is a significant factor in our determination of the period of suspension which we recommend. 12. In mitigation, we recognise that Lord Taylor has voluntarily absented himself from the House since 31 January 2011. 13. We recommend that Lord Taylor of Warwick be suspended from the service of the House for 12 months, starting on the date on which any suspension motion is agreed by the House. APPENDIX 2: REPORT FROM THE HOUSE OF LORDS COMMISSIONER FOR STANDARDS TO THE CLERK OF THE PARLIAMENTS Introduction 1. On 8/6/11, you wrote to me and requested my assistance in investigating complaints made to the Clerk of the Parliaments [hereafter the Clerk] in relation to the conduct of Lord Taylor of Warwick [hereafter Lord Taylor]. 2. I feel it is important to record that my work on this case is in support of your office and relates to complaints received before the post of Commissioner for Standards in the House of Lords was created. Thus, this report is being submitted to you and not directly to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct. I have naturally sought to adhere to the standards set out in the ‘Guide to the Code of Conduct’, which governs my responsibilities but I reiterate my clear view that it is for you, as Clerk of the Parliaments, to decide how to progress this matter. I naturally stand ready to undertake any additional work which you request.

Summary of the initial complaint 3. On 3/8/09, Angus Robertson MP wrote to your predecessor as Clerk requesting that an investigation be undertaken into ‘expense claims’ made by Lord Taylor. Mr Robertson’s letter made specific reference to allegations published in ‘The Sunday Times’ [2/8/09]. 4. On 6/8/09, Christopher Galley [Sunlight Centre for Open Politics], also wrote to the Clerk requesting an investigation into expenses claims made by Lord Taylor and highlighted specific concerns about his designation of a ‘primary residence’. 5. Lord Taylor himself wrote to the Clerk on 10/8/09 and ‘self-referred’ himself in respect of his ‘expense claims’. 6. The Clerk subsequently wrote on 1/9/09, to advise Lord Taylor that the Metropolitan Police were conducting an assessment of allegations made against him. The Clerk went on to state that he would not be proceeding with his own investigation for the time being, given the involvement of the police. On 13/10/09, the Clerk advised Lord Taylor that he would be resuming his investigation on the basis that the police had concluded their assessment exercise and had decided not to pursue the matter any further. 7. On 6/12/09, ‘The Sunday Times’ published additional allegations regarding Lord Taylor’s expense claims and the Metropolitan Police initiated further enquiries, which ultimately led to Lord Taylor being charged with six counts of false accounting. The Clerk’s investigation naturally was once again suspended following this re-involvement of the police. 8. On 25/1/11, Lord Taylor was found guilty on six counts of ‘furnishing false information relating to accounts’ contrary to section 17 (1) (b) of the Theft Act 1968, and on 31/5/11, he was sentenced to a total term of 12 months imprisonment. The question of confiscation was adjourned to a date in December which has still to be confirmed. 9. Records indicate that in March, Lord Taylor repaid the House of Lords a sum of £11,277.80 in respect of the claims submitted by him and which subsequently formed the grounds for the six charges of false accounting which he faced. Investigative brief 10. In your letter to me dated 8/6/11, you requested that I ‘identify and summarise any relevant breaches of the House’s rules on Members’ reimbursement, in order that the Committee for Privileges and Conduct can decide whether to recommend a sanction to the House. It will also be important to determine what repayments the House should seek in addition to those repayments already made, although in this context you will wish to be aware that the Crown Prosecution Service is taking proceedings in relation to confiscation and compensation, and that these have been adjourned to a date in December which has yet to be confirmed.’ Breaches 11. The complaints alleged abuses of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme and for ease of reference, I have set out sections of the relevant guidance available to Members of the House up to and including the period with which the complaints are concerned. The 2005 edition of the General Guide to the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme read (pp2-14): “1.2.1 Members of the House of Lords do not, in general, receive a salary in respect of their parliamentary duties. However, Members may be reimbursed
2011
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 1 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 8 th Report 2010 -12
1605
actual expenses arising out of these duties, in accordance with the rules of the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme. 4.2 Travelling Expenses General 4.2.1 Claims may be made only for journeys over five miles between a Member’s main place of residence in the United Kingdom and Westminster. Claims for incidental travel costs (e.g. those arising from short distance journeys within a five mile radius of Westminster, tolls and car parking charges) are covered by the day subsistence allowance (4.5). 4.2.2 Members seeking to receive travel costs must register their main place of residence with the Members’ Expenses Section. Members with more than one main place of residence may register an alternative main residence with the Members’ Expenses Section for the purpose of claiming travelling expenses. Registration is subject to the approval of the Clerk of the Parliaments ... 4.4 Night Subsistence 4.4.1 Members whose main residence is outside Greater London may claim for expenses of overnight accommodation in London while away from their only or main residence. The maximum daily limit is £154.50. 4.4.2 A Member whose main residence is outside Greater London and who maintains a residence in London for the purpose of attending sittings of the House may claim this allowance towards the cost of maintaining such a residence. 4.4.4 Members who choose to travel home each night or whose main residence is within Greater London cannot claim the night subsistence allowance.” Quantum 12. The Finance Department retain Members’ Expenses claim forms in line with the House of Lords records management and disposal policy. Detailed claim forms, receipts and vouchers are retained for the current financial year and the three previous financial years. Summary level information, i.e. amounts and categories claimed by members but not the actual forms, is held for a further three financial years. Claim forms held in respect of Lord Taylor date from 1/3/06. 13. The critical issue in the case of Lord Taylor raised both by the complainants and which featured in his criminal trial, is that of ‘main place of residence’. In essence, it was alleged and subsequently proven during the trial that Lord Taylor designated a property [in Oxford] as his main residence and claimed ‘Night Subsistence’ and travel expenses on the basis of that designation. His last claim form using the Oxford address as his ‘main residence’ was submitted on 31/10/07. His next claim form submitted on 17/12/07 showed a new ‘main residence’, namely an address in London. Thus, from 31/10/07 he no longer made any claims for ‘Night Subsistence’ or for travel expenses. 14. I have analysed all the claims he submitted by Lord Taylor covering the period 1/3/06 – 29/10/07. I have excluded claims for Day Subsistence and Office Costs from my consideration of the facts since the designation of a peer’s main place of residence has no bearing on eligibility to claim under these headings and there is no evidence or allegations in respect of such claims by Lord Taylor. 15. The following points set out the key facts: Lord Taylor submitted sixteen claim forms during the period in question and the total sums were: Night Subsistence - £21,668.50
1606
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 1 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 8 th Report 2010 -12
2011
Travel Expenses - £2,643.20 16. The six counts or charges preferred against Lord Taylor of Warwick by the Crown Prosecution Service relate to his claims in respect of – March 2006 [Count 1], June 2006 [Count 2], October 2006 [Count 3], March 2007 [Count 4], June 2007 [Count 5] and October 2007 [Count 6]. The total amount of Night Subsistence and travel expenses claims covered by the six counts comes to £11,277.80. This is the amount already repaid by Lord Taylor to the House of Lords, as highlighted at paragraph 9 above. 17. I cannot discern any obvious differences between the monthly claims submitted by Lord Taylor and which formed the basis for criminal proceedings and those other claims which he also submitted but which did not feature in his criminal trial. Following on from that judgement, I believe that purely on the basis of claim forms held by the Finance Department and which feature the Oxford address as the designated ‘main place of residence’, Lord Taylor has dishonestly obtained a further £13,033.90 from the House of Lords. Process of Investigation 18. You will be aware of previous cases dealt with by the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct, where the Sub-Committee restricted the scope of their investigation to a period of four years preceding receipt of the complaint. In this case all the expense claims detailed above fall within that relevant period, namely 3/8/05 – 3/8/09. 19. I am conscious that Members of the House have raised the issue of equality of process in previous cases where members were investigated for their alleged misuse of the Members Reimbursement Scheme. In particular, some Members have drawn attention to the fact that the three Members who have been most recently suspended from the service of the House for breaching the rules of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme belong to minority ethnic groups. Thus, I feel it important to state for the record that this case originated in external complaints submitted by members of the public. In addition, Lord Taylor was convicted by a jury following a contested trial. I am satisfied that ethnicity was not an issue with regards to the investigative process undertaken by either the Clerk or myself. 20. I have liaised with the Crown Prosecution Service [CPS] and am aware that they will be pursuing confiscation proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 in December 2011. A court order under this legislation would potentially require Lord Taylor to hand over funds, which in turn would be paid in to the Consolidated Fund. There is no element of compensation or reimbursement for the House of Lords in such proceedings. Thus, I feel it is open to the House to seek reimbursement by Lord Taylor. However, if Lord Taylor did reimburse the House, then I would feel it would be appropriate to formally advise the CPS of that development. It might be that in such a case they would review the utility of confiscation proceedings. Engagement with Lord Taylor 21. Lord Taylor has been convicted of ‘furnishing false information relating to accounts’, specifically relating to claim forms submitted to the House of Lords Finance Department for travel expenses and overnight subsistence.. The six counts on which he was convicted were purely representative charges drawn from 16 expense claim forms submitted between 31/3/06 and 31/10/07. Lord Taylor has already repaid £11,277.80 in respect of such claims. There remains an outstanding amount of £13,033.90, in respect of false and unjustifiable claims.

22. I wrote to Lord Taylor on 16/6/11, advising him of the work I was undertaking on your behalf, setting out the relevant facts as known to me and inviting him to respond in writing with a full and accurate account of the matters in question. Lord Taylor failed to respond to that letter. However, a second letter to Lord Taylor dated 12/7/11 was acknowledged by him in a letter dated 21/7/11. In that letter Lord Taylor denied ever having received my letter dated 16/6/11. 23. My second letter [12/7/11] to Lord Taylor set out the facts as known to me [including copies of all the relevant expense claims submitted by him, admissions agreed at his trial and the sentencing remarks of Mr Justice Saunders] and invited him to respond with a full and accurate account in writing. I also reiterated my willingness to meet with him in person, if that would assist. His reply [21/7/11] did not address any of the points made by me and he requested that I postpone any action on his case until he had finished his prison sentence. 24. I replied to Lord Taylor on 4/8/11, declining his suggestion that my investigation be delayed until he had completed his prison sentence. I felt that such an agreement might be seen to constitute an unreasonable and undesirable precedent. However, I recognised the many challenges facing Lord Taylor and extended the deadline for his account by a further three weeks to 26/8/11 and repeated my willingness to meet with him. I have to report that no further correspondence has been received from Lord Taylor and this report is submitted on the basis that he has declined to cooperate with me. Findings 25. In my view Lord Taylor clearly breached the rules of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme. The sixteen claim forms examined by me, all incorporated a false ‘main place of residence’ and that falsification was deliberately designed to obtain funds to which he wasn’t entitled. Lord Taylor admitted, in his criminal trial, that he had no connection whatsoever with the ‘main place of residence’ he designated on his claim forms. 26. Since 2001 the Code of Conduct has contained a reference to the requirement on Members to act always on their personal honour. I have reviewed previous cases dealt with by the House and note that the focus has always been on specific breaches of the rules of the House. However, the use of a false ‘main place of residence’ without the knowledge of the householders in question, one of whom was a relative, was rightly identified as an aggravating feature of the offences by Mr Justice Saunders. 27. Members are required to co-operate, at all stages, with any investigation into their conduct by or under the authority of the House [paragraph 20 of the Code of Conduct]. I regret that Lord Taylor has declined to co-operate with me, whilst I was working on your behalf. I recognise that Lord Taylor has been through a traumatic experience in that he has been convicted of several criminal offences and sentenced to a period of imprisonment. However, in a very real sense he was the author of his own misfortune and he did not take advantage of several offers of a personal meeting with me. 28. In essence, Lord Taylor obtained money from the House of Lords falsely and without any justification. Over a period of years he submitted claim forms containing information which he knew was false and misleading. He implicated an innocent relative in his fraud and whilst after his conviction he admitted his guilt in the context of pre-sentencing reports, the trial judge highlighted that his subsequent admission of guilt meant that his testimony on oath was false.

29. I will make no further comment, as I feel the facts speak for themselves. 1 September 2011 APPENDIX 3: APPEAL BY LORD TAYLOR OF WARWICK TO THE COMMITTEE FOR PRIVILEGES AND CONDUCT I regret that my actions have brought the House into disrepute and I apologise. I regard it as a privilege to serve the public and I am full of remorse. I do not appeal against the recommended sanction of suspension from the service of the House. In these circumstances, I have not sought to appear personally before the Committee. But I do respectfully wish to appeal against the Commissioner’s findings. The Commissioner stated that I declined to co-operate with him during his investigation and did not take advantage of several offers of a personal meeting with him. I had nothing to gain by not co-operating with him. I did not receive his letter of 16 June 2011. The first time I saw that letter was when a copy was attached to an email sent to me by Mr Christopher Johnson on 17 October 2011. In June I was at Wandsworth prison, where I was in a cell for 23 hours per day. Although I received some mail, I now know that some letters sent by family, friends and my own solicitor were not delivered to me. This was not an unusual experience for prisoners at that prison. The Commissioner stated that I “failed to respond to that letter,” but that was not a result of my not wishing to co-operate. I did reply to the Commissioner’s letter of 12 July, sent to Standford Hill Prison. In my reply letter, dated 21 July, I explained that I had not received his earlier letter. He invited me to respond with a” full and accurate account” in writing. I tried to explain that the conditions that I was in made it extremely difficult to deal in detail with these matters at that time. I explained in my letter that I was trying to deal with a complexity of issues which had resulted from my imprisonment. In my second letter, dated 23 August, I explained that I was due for release in a further few days, on 31 August. I would then be able to deal with the required detailed responses, without the restrictions of prison. I did not have access to all the paperwork I needed. In that letter I requested information concerning the disciplinary procedure, since I had no Guidebook or access to a computer to assist me. The Commissioner stated that he made “several” offers to meet me. I was aware of two offers, but prison visits are restricted and involve a narrow criteria for application. The Commissioner was not in the category of legal adviser or a member of my family, so I am not aware of how that could have been achieved. For obvious reasons I was not in a position to visit him. I did not qualify for home leave or a town visit because of my release date. In the Commissioner’s Report of 1 September 2011, he stated that “I have to report that no further correspondence has been received from Lord Taylor and this report is submitted on the basis that he has declined to co-operate with me”. He failed to mention that I had in fact sent him a further letter, dated 23 August, which his office surely would have received by the time of his report on 1 September. The Commissioner did not reply until 22 September 2011, stating “I am writing in response to your letter dated 23/8/11, which has only just been brought to my attention. Events have moved on, in that I have submitted my findings to the Clerk of
2011
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 1 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 8 th Report 2010 -12
1609
the Parliaments....” I do not understand why it took the Commissioner, who did not have my restrictions, a month to reply to my second letter. It was in that letter of 22 September that the Commissioner sent me a current Code of Conduct and Guide to the Code. But he then pointed out that since my case predated the current complaints process, the Clerk of the Parliaments is in fact responsible for the investigation, not him. The procedural path seemed far from clear, against this background. Upon my release I received a letter from Lord Brabazon of Tara dated 2 September, asking that “You may wish to consider whether it might be appropriate for you not to attend the House or take any other part in Parliamentary proceedings....” But I had already agreed with Sir Michael Pownall on 27 January to this request and had kept to it. I then had a number of e-mail correspondence with David Beamish, the Clerk of the Parliaments. Each time I ensured a copy e-mail went to the Commissioner. On 3 October I received an e-mail confirmation from Emily Baldock, the Clerk to the Commissioner, confirming on his behalf that he had received my correspondence. I believe I demonstrated a willingness to co-operate and deal with all Mr Beamish’s requests promptly. It was not because I had a sudden change in attitude. It was simply because I was no longer subject to prison restrictions. Indeed on 3 October, Mr Beamish sent me an e-mail stating, “Many thanks for dealing with this so promptly”. He would hardly have done so if I had not been co-operating. £11,277.80 was repaid on 22 March; £13,027.90 was repaid on 6 October; and a bank transaction fee of £6 was repaid on 11 October. The Sub-Committee, in its Report of 4 October stated: “That Lord Taylor failed to comply with this requirement (to co-operate with investigations by the Commissioner) is a significant factor in our determination of the period of suspension which we recommend”. But I have tried to explain the fuller background and I ask the Committee to allow the appeal against the Commissioner’s finding that I had failed to co-operate. Prior to my trial, the rules and definition in relation to main residence were changed and amended a number of times. By the time of my trial, the definition of main residence had been clarified. When I made my expenses claim I had the genuine belief that my claims were within the rules. That is what I said to the Probation Officer and he stated that in his Report. But I accept that I was found guilty by the jury and express remorse. The Judge referred to the Probation Officer’s comments on this point, but only in part. I attach a letter dated 21 October from Mr Modrate, the Probation Officer, confirming what I said to him. In it he states: “I have read the remarks of Mr Justice Saunders, when he sentenced Lord Taylor on 31/5/2011 at Southwark Crown Court. The Judge may have misunderstood my comments in the Pre-Sentence Report. The Judge did not refer to my remark in the report, “At the time he says he thought he was acting within the law, but with hindsight he accepts he has interpreted the rules too liberally”. Lord Taylor said he accepts the verdict of the jury and expressed remorse”. The trial did not reveal an affluent lifestyle. There was evidence of substantial charity work, over and above my parliamentary duties. Evidence was submitted of the Warwick Leadership Foundation educational charity. I started the initiative some years ago to help young people, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds. I have financed this initiative primarily myself. There were over 60 written Character references for the sentencing court and 4 live character witnesses during the trial. In his sentencing remarks the Judge said: “I have
1610
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 1 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 8 th Report 2010 -12
2011
read a truly remarkable series of references from a very large number of people. They have come from important figures who speak of Lord Taylor’s dedication to public service and his achievements. They come from fellow Christians who speak of his charitable work and his help to others; all done with a gentle humility. Perhaps most importantly I have heard from many young people who have been inspired and helped through his work with the Warwick Foundation in particular. He has been a role model to many”. I have already been punished by a prison sentence and loss of reputation. I was released on 31 August and am subject to prison licence and conditions until 30 May 2012. I respectfully request that the suspension be as short as possible, to enable me to continue to be an active member of the House. 23 October 2011 Attachment: open letter from Mr W H Modrate, Probation Officer, dated 21 October 2011 I have read the remarks of Mr Justice Saunders, when he sentenced Lord Taylor on 31/5/2011 at Southwark Crown Court. The Judge may have misunderstood my comments in the Pre-Sentence Report. The Judge did not refer to my remark in the report, “At the time he says he thought he was acting within the law, but with hindsight accepts he has interpreted the rules too liberally”. Lord Taylor said he accepts the verdict of the jury and expressed remorse. APPENDIX 4: REPORT BY THE CLERK OF THE PARLIAMENTS TO THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON LORDS’ CONDUCT 1. In 2009 my predecessor as Clerk of the Parliaments, Michael Pownall, began enquiries into a complaint about expense claims made by Lord Taylor of Warwick. His investigation was put on hold during the police investigation and criminal proceedings which resulted in Lord Taylor’s conviction on six charges of false accounting, but after Lord Taylor was sentenced in May it became appropriate for me to resume my predecessor’s investigation. 2. In the meantime the House’s procedure had changed, and a complaint such as was received in 2009 would now be dealt with by the Commissioner for Standards and not by the Clerk of the Parliaments. So, with the agreement of the Commissioner, I asked him to assist me in completing the investigation. I have now received, and enclose, his report. 3. In accordance with the procedures set out in the Guide to the Code of Conduct, I should be grateful if the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct could consider the report and recommend to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct what further action, if any, should be taken. 4. The Commissioner’s report notes that Lord Taylor has repaid £11,277.80 wrongly claimed from the House of Lords, and concludes that he “dishonestly obtained a further £13,033.90 from the House”. I wrote to Lord Taylor on 14 September to ask him to confirm “no later than 3 October 2011” his willingness to repay that sum. A copy of my letter is appended to this paper. I have yet to receive a reply. 5. I ought perhaps to record formally that the complaint against Lord Taylor related to breaches of the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme (as it then was) and not of the Code of Conduct. The Commissioner has implied in paragraph 27 of his report that Lord Taylor is also in breach of the Code in failing to co-operate with his inquiry.
2011
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 1 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 8 th Report 2010 -12
1611
6. Finally, in recommending any sanction the Sub-Committee may wish to have regard to the fact that on 31 May Lord Taylor was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment. He has now been released on licence (and subject to curfew and an electronic tag) after serving three months of that sentence. 29 September 2011 APPENDIX 5: CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN LORD TAYLOR OF WARWICK, THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES, THE COMMISSIONER FOR STANDARDS AND THE CLERK OF THE PARLIAMENTS Letter from the Clerk of the Parliaments to Lord Taylor of Warwick, dated 27 January 2011 I am writing to let you know that at a meeting this morning, the House Committee expressed the hope that in the period between the end of the trial and sentencing you should not attend the House or take part in Parliamentary proceedings, including the tabling of written questions. If you would like a word about this, please do not hesitate to let me know (telephone number 020 7219 3 181). I am sending a copy of this letter by e-mail to the address which you have authorised to the Table Office for the receipt of written questions. Email from Lord Taylor of Warwick to the Clerk of the Parliaments, dated 31 January 2011 Thank you for your letter of 27 January. Yes, I will abide by the wishes of the House Committee. Letter from Paul Kernaghan, Commissioner for Standards, to Lord Taylor of Warwick, dated 16 June 2011 I am writing to advise you of work that I am carrying out on behalf of the Clerk of the Parliaments. You will no doubt be aware that my office was established in June 2010 and that I have a clear investigative mandate, as set out in the ‘Code of Conduct for Members of the House of Lords and Guide to the Code of Conduct.’ However, you referred yourself to the Clerk of the Parliaments in August 2009 and the then Clerk of the Parliaments, Michael Pownall, entered into a dialogue with you in relation to his investigation. That investigation was suspended when the police initiated their own investigation which ultimately resulted in your conviction. Now that criminal proceedings are at an end, the Clerk of the Parliaments [now David Beamish] is keen to finalise his investigation as quickly as possible, not least in fairness to you. He is responsible for the investigation, given that it was initiated prior to my appointment, but he has asked me to undertake relevant work in order to assist him. Two complaints were received from members of the public alleging that you had misused public funds arising out of your designation of a ‘main place of residence’.
1612
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 1 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 8 th Report 2010 -12
2011
You in turn sought to ‘self-refer [your] expense claims’ to the Clerk of the Parliaments in a letter dated 10/8/09. You were eventually convicted on six counts of ‘furnishing false information relating to accounts’. Those charges related to expense claims you submitted between 31/3/06 and 31/10/07. During that period you submitted 16 claims and in every case designated 24 Henley Street, Oxford, OX4 1ER as your ‘main place of residence’. The total sum claimed in respect of those 16 claims was £24,311.70 and I am aware that you have already repaid £11,277.80 to the House of Lords, leaving an outstanding balance of £13,033.90. I am in possession of the Sentencing Remarks of Mr Justice Saunders dated 31/5/11 and note that he commented, “Lord Taylor has now told the Probation Officer that he fully accepts that he is guilty of the offences and has expressed regret and remorse for what he has done...” In view of that observation by the Judge, I have refrained from attaching copies of the relevant claim forms to this letter. However, I stand ready to do so if requested by you. In essence, it appears to me that the criminal trial has clearly established that your claims based on 24 Henley Street, Oxford, OX4 1ER were false and not made in good faith. I now invite you to respond to me in writing with any comments you might wish to make. I would particularly invite you to comment on my view that you breached the rules of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme, that you did not act in good faith, and I would also welcome any comment on the issue of reimbursement. I believe that the Clerk of the Parliaments will in due course submit a report to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct. I am conscious that this must be a difficult time for you and would like to assure you that I will seek to complete my work in such a way as to minimise any additional burdens on you. I would be prepared to meet with you if you felt that would assist but in any case I should be grateful if you would in the first instance, respond to me within fourteen days. I am keen to assist the Clerk of the Parliaments in finalising the investigation as soon as possible, as I genuinely believe that is in everyone’s interests. Letter from the Commissioner for Standards to Lord Taylor of Warwick, dated 12 July 2011 I wrote to you on 16/6/11, advising you of the complaints received in relation to your conduct and specifically the issue of designating a ‘main place of residence’. The Clerk of Parliaments [hereafter the Clerk] following receipt of those complaints [and your own self-referral] had initiated an investigation, which had been suspended during the police investigation and subsequent criminal proceedings. Following sentencing the Clerk’s investigation had been resumed and I had agreed to assist him in that process. I invited you to respond to me in writing in relation to the 16 claims you submitted under the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme covering the period 1/3/06 – 29/10/07. However, to date I have not received any response. I feel it is now appropriate to fully advise you of the process to be adopted in your case, provide details of the evidence in my possession and to seek a definitive response from you. The Clerk has, as highlighted above, asked me to assist him in finalising his investigation into your use of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme. Once I have made my final report to the Clerk, it will be for him to decide whether a report should
2011
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 1 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 8 th Report 2010 -12
1613
be submitted to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct. The task of the SubCommittee when a complaint against a Member has been upheld is, if applicable, to recommend any appropriate action for the Member to regularise the position (including the repayment of money) and any sanction that the House should apply. In such circumstances the Sub-Committee makes its report to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct; at the same time a copy is sent to the Member concerned, who is informed of the deadline by which an appeal may be lodged to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. If there is no appeal the Committee for Privileges and Conduct reports to the House forthwith, in the terms recommended by the SubCommittee. The Committee must seek the agreement of the House in any case where it is proposed that a Member be required to take action to regularise the position or that the Member be sanctioned by suspension. In August 2009, Angus Robertson MP requested that your expense claims be investigated, following allegations published in ‘The Sunday Times’ [2/8/09]. A second complaint was received from Christopher Galley [Sunlight Centre for Open Politics]. You then wrote to the Clerk of the Parliaments on 10/8/09 self-referring yourself in respect of your ‘expense claims’. I attach for your information and ease of reference, copies of the 16 expense claims you submitted covering the period 1/3/06 – 29/10/07 [Appendix ‘A’]. I note that six of these claims formed the basis of the six counts of ‘furnishing false information relating to accounts’ on which you were convicted. In the ‘jury bundle’ used at your trial, there is a document entitled ‘Agreed Admissions’ [Appendix ‘B’]. In essence, you admitted submitting forms showing 24 Henley Street, Oxford, OX4 1ER as your main place of residence, despite having never stayed at that address or having any legal or financial interest in it. You also admitted that you had never travelled by car between that address and the House of Lords during the period highlighted in the preceding paragraph. The final attachment [Appendix ‘C’] is a record of Mr Justice Saunders’ sentencing remarks and I would specifically highlight the following extract: “Lord Taylor has now told the Probation Officer that he fully accepts that he is guilty of the offences and has expressed regret and remorse for what he has done...”. I have reviewed the transcripts of your evidence together with the sentencing remarks of Mr Justice Saunders. On the basis of the evidence currently available to me and in the absence of any representations from you, I must advise you that I minded to report to the Clerk that you did breach the rules of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme. I believe you submitted 16 claims all of which were inaccurate and that you consciously did so. Recognising that you have already reimbursed the House of Lords in the sum of £11,277.80, I am of the view that the sum of £13,033.90 remains outstanding in respect of the 16 false and inaccurate claims. The General Guide to the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme [2005 edition] which set out the relevant rules during the period in question, contained the following provisions: “1.2.1 Members of the House of Lords do not, in general, receive a salary in respect of their parliamentary duties. However, Members may be reimbursed actual expenses arising out of these duties, in accordance with the rules of the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme. 4.2 Travelling Expenses General
1614
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 1 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 8 th Report 2010 -12
2011
4.2.1 Claims may be made only for journeys over five miles between a Member’s main place of residence in the United Kingdom and Westminster. Claims for incidental travel costs (e.g. those arising from short distance journeys within a five mile radius of Westminster, tolls and car parking charges) are covered by the day subsistence allowance (4.5). 4.2.2 Members seeking to receive travel costs must register their main place of residence with the Members’ Expenses Section. Members with more than one main place of residence may register an alternative main residence with the Members’ Expenses Section for the purpose of claiming travelling expenses. Registration is subject to the approval of the Clerk of the Parliaments ... 4.4 Night Subsistence 4.4.1 Members whose main residence is outside Greater London may claim for expenses of overnight accommodation in London while away from their only or main residence. The maximum daily limit is £154.50. 4.4.2 A Member whose main residence is outside Greater London and who maintains a residence in London for the purpose of attending sittings of the House may claim this allowance towards the cost of maintaining such a residence. 4.4.4 Members who choose to travel home each night or whose main residence is within Greater London cannot claim the night subsistence allowance.” I am of the view that your behaviour and admissions make it quite clear that you did not act on your personal honour. You submitted, in bad faith, claims which did not comply with the relevant guidance. I now invite you to respond in writing with a full and accurate account of the matters set out above. If you fail to respond by 5/8/11, I will then submit a finalised investigation report to the Clerk of the Parliaments. I reiterate my willingness to meet with you, if that would assist. Letter from the Lord Taylor of Warwick to the Commissioner for Standards, dated 21 July 2011 Thank you for your letter of 12 July. There was no prison number on your envelope and there are a number of Taylors here, so it has only just been received by me. I did not receive a letter dated 16 June from you. I do not know where it was sent or what happened to it. On 31 May I was sent to Wandsworth Prison and much of the mail meant for me was not passed onto me. I will now remain at Standford Hill until my release. I am trying to deal with the rigours of a prison sentence and a number of personal problems at the same time. I do wish to respond to your letter but please allow me to do so after I have finished my prison sentence. Letter from the Commissioner for Standards to Lord Taylor of Warwick, dated 4 August 2011 Thank you for your letter dated 21/7/11 and posted on 27/7/11. I note that you say you did not receive my initial letter dated 16/6/11, which was individually addressed to you at HMP Wandsworth. However, I am pleased that you received my second letter dated 12/7/11 and which my records show was delivered to HMP Standford Hill on 13/7/11.
2011

1615
I recognise that you have indicated a wish to respond to my letter [12/7/11] but suggest that you be allowed to do so once you have finished your prison sentence. I am afraid that I cannot further postpone the investigation until your release from prison and I am sure you will recognise that such an action would create an undesirable precedent. I am keen to ensure that the Clerk of the Parliaments can finalise your case as soon as possible, in fairness to both the House of Lords and yourself. Having said that, I appreciate that you are having to deal with many challenges at present. Thus, I am willing to extend the deadline for a response from you to 26/8/11. I am unaware if this extension will see you released from prison or not. In either case I reiterate my willingness to meet with you, if that would assist. Naturally, I am also happy to receive written representations from you. Letter from Lord Taylor Warwick to the Commissioner for Standards, dated 23 August 2011 Thank you for your letter of 4 August. The postal service does not work as smoothly in prison as it does in the community, as far as prisoner’s receipt of mail is concerned. The prison system imposes a great number of restrictions on how quickly and effectively I can deal with correspondence. I am trying to deal with a myriad of issues, whilst subject to the limitations of prison. I would like to respond properly to your letters after I am released, which is due to be on Wednesday 31 August. I do not think this is an unreasonable request in the circumstances. You mentioned precedent, but I have not seen any rule book to explain what the disciplinary procedure is. Letter from the Chairman of Committees to Lord Taylor of Warwick, dated 2 September 2011 I am writing in connection with your conviction earlier this year at Southwark Crown Court on six counts of false accounting relating to claims you made under the former Members’ Reimbursement Scheme. As you know, the House of Lords Commissioner for Standards is currently investigating your conduct on behalf of the Clerk of the Parliaments, and I understand that the Clerk intends to pass the Commissioner’s report to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct. If you are found to have breached the Code of Conduct, the Sub-Committee may recommend that the Committee for Privileges and Conduct (which I chair) should invite the House to apply a sanction to you. You may wish to consider whether it might be more appropriate for you not to attend the House or take any other part in Parliamentary proceedings (including the tabling of written questions) until the Sub-Committee has reported. If you have any queries, please do contact the Clerk of the Parliaments on 020 7219 3181. Letter from the Clerk of the Parliaments to Lord Taylor of Warwick dated 14 September 2011 You will recall that in 2009 my predecessor as Clerk of the Parliaments, Sir Michael Pownall, began enquiries into a complaint about your expense claims but put them on hold while police investigations were in progress. After your conviction and sentencing it became possible to resume those enquiries.
1616
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 1 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 8 th Report 2010 -12
2011
In the meantime the House had appointed a Commissioner for Standards (Paul Kernaghan CBE QPM) and a new procedure had been introduced whereby complaints relating to allowances and expenses were to be investigated by the Commissioner rather than by the Clerk of the Parliaments (2nd Report from the Committee for Privileges, Session 2009-10). So on this occasion, as you will be aware from your correspondence with him, I asked the Commissioner to assist me in completing the investigation begun by my predecessor. He has now sent me his report. I think it is right that the procedure followed in your case should match as closely as practical the new procedure governing the handling of complaints against Members. I therefore propose to submit the Commissioner's report to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct, which will make a recommendation to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. I understand that a meeting of the Sub-Committee is planned for 4 October. If you wish to challenge the Commissioner's or Sub-Committee’s conclusions and recommendations, you will have the opportunity to do so when the matter is considered by the parent Committee. In addition to any sanction which may be recommended, there is a question of repayment of sums wrongly claimed. The Commissioner’s report concludes that, in addition to the £11,277.80 which you have already repaid, you have “dishonestly obtained a further £13,033.90 from the House of Lords”. I enclose the text of the part of his report in which he explains how he arrived at that figure. I should be grateful if you could let me know whether you are willing to repay the £13,033.90 to the House, and if so your proposals for doing so. I would be grateful to receive your response as soon as possible and no later than 3 October 2011 since the Sub-Committee may wish to take into account the extent of your willingness to repay in deciding upon its recommendation. I look forward to hearing from you. Letter from the Commissioner for Standards to Lord Taylor of Warwick, dated 22 September 2011 I am writing in response to your letter dated 23/8/11, which has only just been brought to my attention. Events have moved on, in that I have submitted my findings to the Clerk of the Parliaments and I believe he in turn has written offering you an opportunity to comment on matters of fact. My reference to precedent was to highlight that I did not feel it would be appropriate for a Member under investigation to dictate the timescale within which the investigation would be conducted. However, in my letter dated 4/8/11, I made it clear that I recognised the challenges facing you and was happy to extend the deadline for you to engage with me. I note your comments re the disciplinary procedure and attach a copy of the current ‘Code of Conduct for Members of the House of Lords and Guide to the Code of Conduct.’ However, you should be aware that your self-referral and associated public complaints predate the current complaints process and the Clerk of the Parliaments is thus responsible for the investigation. I believe he has addressed this issue in correspondence. Letter from Lord Taylor of Warwick to the Clerk of the Parliaments, dated 30 September 2011 Thank you for your letter of 14 September. I also acknowledge receipt of Mr Kernaghan’s further letter of 22 September. I had previously written to him from prison on 21 July and 23 August.
2011
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 1 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 8 th Report 2010 -12
1617
I am willing to repay the further £13,033.90 as soon as possible. As you know I have already re-paid £10,000 on 21 March and £1,277.80 on 22 March. I received a letter from Sir Michael Pownall on 27 January asking me not to undertake any further parliamentary activities. I agreed to his request. So, in effect, I have been suspended from that date. Up until January, over 15 years, I have tried my best to be a diligent working Peer. Prior to my trial, the rules and definition in relation to main residence were changed and amended a number of times. By the time of my trial, the definition of main residence had been clarified. When I made my expenses claim I had the genuine belief that my claims were within the rules. That is what I said to the Probation Officer and he stated that in his Report. But I accept that I was found guilty by the jury. The Judge referred to the Pre-Sentence Report, but only in part. I have attached the whole Report. I request that any sensitive family issues referred to in the Pre-Sentence Report, or in any other material, be redacted. 1 The trial did not reveal an affluent lifestyle. There was evidence of substantial charity work, over and above my parliamentary duties. I attach 3 newsletters of the Warwick Leadership Foundation educational charity, which my Counsel submitted upon sentence. I started the initiative some years ago to help young people, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds. I have financed this initiative primarily myself. In correspondence with Sir Michael Pownall I regret I was not frank. At the time I was experiencing relentless media harassment and was fearful for myself and family. There were over 60 written Character references for the sentencing court and 4 live character witnesses during the trial. I have attached the written references, with an index. I have already been punished by a prison sentence and loss of reputation. I was released on 31 August and am subject to prison licence and conditions until 30 May 2012. If I am suspended, I ask that it be as short as possible so that I can continue to be an active member of the House of Lords.

Owing to the volume of sensitive personal data contained in the documents submitted by Lord Taylor, they were not put before the Committee for Privileges and Conduct and are not published with this Report.

Background The Committee has considered a report by the Commissioner for Standards on the conduct of Lord Hanningfield. The Committee has also considered a report by the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct, which, in light of the Commissioner’s report, recommended a sanction. The procedure followed in this case has been that described in the Guide to the Code of Conduct, 1 which was adopted by the House in March 2010. According to this procedure, the Commissioner is charged with investigating allegations against Members. He reports his findings to the Sub-Committee, which, if the Commissioner has found against the Member, recommends any action that the Member concerned should take and any sanction that the House should apply. Although the Sub-Committee may comment on the Commissioner’s report, it does not reopen the Commissioner’s findings, which are reported without amendment to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. The Member may then appeal to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct against the Commissioner’s findings, the Sub-Committee’s recommended sanction, or both. Summary of the case On 26 May 2011 Lord Hanningfield was found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court on six counts of ‘furnishing false information relating to accounts’ contrary to section 17 (1) (b) of the Theft Act 1968. On 1 July 2011 he was sentenced to a total term of nine months’ imprisonment. He was released under licence on 8 September, after serving about a quarter of this sentence. The charges against Lord Hanningfield related to claims made under the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme. It was alleged, and proved in the criminal trial, that Lord Hanningfield dishonestly claimed night subsistence expenses in respect of a number of sitting days when he in fact did not stay overnight in London but returned to his home in Essex. It follows that Lord Hanningfield was, in respect of the claims to which the charges against him related, in breach of the rules of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme, under which, in the words of the accompanying General Guide, “claims for night subsistence [were] only permissible in respect of nights actually spent in London”. No complaint against Lord Hanningfield was received prior to his conviction, and in accordance with the House’s sub judice resolution no internal investigation was begun until after the case against him was brought to a close by his sentencing. However, following his conviction and before sentencing, the Commissioner for Standards had sought and received the agreement in principle of the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct to his beginning an investigation at the first possible opportunity. 2 The investigation began accordingly on 1 July Guide to the Code of Conduct, paragraphs 122–137.

2011, the day Lord Hanningfield was sentenced; in accordance with paragraph 111 of the Guide to the Code of Conduct, the remit of the investigation extended back four years, to 1 July 2007. On the basis of evidence heard at the trial, and his own interview with Lord Hanningfield, the Commissioner concluded that Lord Hanningfield had no entitlement to claim night subsistence at any stage in the period from 1 July 2007 to April 2009, when the last such claim was made. During this period Lord Hanningfield made, in the Commissioner’s words, “false claims” for night subsistence expenses totalling £30,254.50. Lord Hanningfield confirmed, in oral evidence to this Committee, that he accepted this finding (Q 2). Lord Hanningfield had previously, in December 2009, voluntarily repaid £1,800 to the House. Although he is in difficult financial circumstances, he confirmed in oral evidence that he would repay the money in full before returning to the House following any suspension: “I will definitely repay that before I participate in the House again. I would guarantee that” (Q 2). The Sub-Committee’s recommended sanction and Lord Hanningfield’s appeal The Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct considered the Commissioner’s report on Lord Hanningfield on 12 October 2011. They state that they do “not believe that it would be appropriate, in this case, for any period of suspension to last for a period less than the remaining period of Lord Hanningfield’s sentence, i.e. until 31 March 2012.” Their final recommendation is that Lord Hanningfield “be suspended from the service of the House for 9 months, starting on the date on which any suspension motion is agreed by the House”. Lord Hanningfield subsequently appealed against the recommendation of the Sub-Committee. He made it clear that he did not dispute the Commissioner’s findings, and acknowledged that he had “transgressed the law” and “submitted false claims”. However, he drew attention to his imprisonment, his loss of reputation and his co-operation with the investigation into his conduct. He sought the Committee’s help in “rebuilding” his life by reducing the period of suspension. We acknowledge the hardship suffered by Lord Hanningfield, but we also consider that, as stated by the Sub-Committee, the trial judge “took into account all mitigating factors” when sentencing him to nine months’ imprisonment; we also agree with the Sub-Committee that his actions, both in making fraudulent claims and later in pleading not guilty, have brought the House into disrepute. We therefore do not uphold Lord Hanningfield’s appeal against the length of suspension recommended by the Sub-Committee. The verdict of the court This case and that of Lord Taylor of Warwick are the first in which Members have been subject to internal disciplinary proceedings in respect of actions which have also been the subject of criminal prosecution. Both Members have been found guilty, and have been punished with prison sentences. It was for the court to hear all the evidence in Lord Hanningfield’s case, to weigh it and reach a verdict. The judge’s sentencing remarks set out the factors that weighed with him in determining that a sentence of nine months’ imprisonment was appropriate. We agree with the Sub-Committee that Lord Hanningfield should not be eligible to return to the House before the whole sentence imposed by the court has run its course.

Suspension and repayment The Sub-Committee, in the concluding paragraphs of their report, have invited us to reconsider the link between the repayment of money wrongly claimed and the length of any suspension imposed upon a Member of the House. We note that this issue is, given Lord Hanningfield’s undertakings regarding repayment, academic in the present case. We also remain of the view that the decision reached by the House on 21 October 2010, namely that the recovery of money wrongly claimed “is not a disciplinary matter, and so is not a matter for this Committee”, is correct in principle. Conclusion We acknowledge that Lord Hanningfield has acceded to requests not to attend the House since his conviction in May, but agree with the Sub-Committee that it would not be appropriate for his suspension to last for a period less than the remainder of his sentence. Taking all the circumstances into account, we uphold the Sub-Committee’s recommendation that Lord Hanningfield be suspended from the House for nine months, and recommend that the nine months should be deemed to have commenced on the date he was sentenced, 1 July 2011. We recommend that Lord Hanningfield be suspended from the service of the House for nine months, with effect from 1 July 2011.
APPENDIX 1: REPORT FROM THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON LORDS’ CONDUCT The conduct of Lord Hanningfield Introduction 30. We have received a report from the Commissioner for Standards on the use of the members’ reimbursement scheme by Lord Hanningfield. 31. Lord Hanningfield was found guilty on 26 May 2011 of six counts of ‘furnishing false information relating to accounts’, specifically relating to claims for night subsistence and travelling expenses, contrary to contrary to section 17(1)(b) of the Theft Act 1968. On 1 July 2011, he was sentenced to a total term of nine months’ imprisonment. 1 32. No complaint was made about the conduct of Lord Hanningfield. With our agreement, the Commissioner commenced an investigation into his use of the members’ reimbursement scheme on 22 July under paragraph 103 of the Guide to the Code of Conduct. Paragraph 103 recognises that in “exceptional circumstances” the Commissioner may, with the agreement of the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct, “start an investigation in the absence of a complaint, either at the request of the Member concerned, or if, by other means, he becomes aware of evidence sufficient to establish a prima facie case that the Code of Conduct has been breached.”

The trial of Lord Hanningfield took place at Chelmsford Crown Court. He was sentenced by Mr Justice Saunders sitting at Maidstone Crown Court.

The Commissioner’s findings 33. The Commissioner found that Lord Hanningfield did not act in good faith and submitted false claims under the members’ reimbursement scheme. He wrongfully claimed a total of £30,254.50 for night subsistence to which he was not entitled, not having stayed in London. 34. The Commissioner further found that Lord Hanningfield submitted a mixture of false and legitimate claims for travelling expenses and that these claims were intended to corroborate his claims for overnight subsistence. However, the Commissioner did not believe the quantum involved justified detailed research by his office to determine which claims were false. The full amount claimed by Lord Hanningfield over the period in question was £2,808. 35. The Commissioner stated that Lord Hanningfield had sought to co-operate with his investigation. Lord Hanningfield’s response 36. Lord Hanningfield, in interview, accepted that he had made false claims for night subsistence. He disputed the Commissioner’s original assessment of the amount owed in respect of the false travel claims. 37. Lord Hanningfield voluntarily refunded £1,800 to the House of Lords in December 2009. No offer of further repayment has been received to date (12 October). We note that Lord Hanningfield has other outstanding claims from April and May 2011 amounting to £2,100. Conclusion 38. We are impressed with the thoroughness and fairness with which the Commissioner for Standards conducted his investigation and prepared his report. We agree with the Commissioner’s finding that Lord Hanningfield breached the rules of the members’ reimbursement scheme by wrongfully claiming a total of £30,254.50 for night subsistence to which he was not entitled. 39. We further agree that the quantum involved in the claims for travelling expenses made by Lord Hanningfield do not justify the Commissioner conducting detailed research to determine which were false and which were legitimate. 40. In considering what sanction to apply, we have taken into account the following factors: • Lord Hanningfield was sentenced to a period of nine months’ imprisonment of which he has served just over two months. He has been released on licence until 31 March 2012. • Lord Hanningfield co-operated with the Commissioner’s investigation. • Lord Hanningfield has not repaid the majority of the sums wrongfully claimed. • Lord Hanningfield has voluntarily absented himself from the House. 41. We consider that Mr Justice Saunders took into account all relevant mitigating factors, including Lord Hanningfield’s record of public service and the state of his health, in determining the prison sentence for the criminal conviction. We do not believe that it would be appropriate, in this case, for any period of suspension to last for a period less than the remaining period of Lord Hanningfield’s sentence, i.e. until 31 March 2012.
1622
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
2011
42. We believe that Lord Hanningfield’s actions in wrongfully claiming sums to which he was not entitled and in later pleading not guilty brought the House into disrepute. 43. We emphasise that the need to co-operate with investigations by the Commissioner is itself a requirement of the Code of Conduct (paragraph 20). 1 Co-operation with the Commissioner is of the utmost importance in order to enable the Commissioner to investigate complaints in a timely, thorough and fair manner. That Lord Hanningfield largely complied with this requirement is a significant factor in our determination of the period of suspension which we recommend. 44. We also recognise that Lord Hanningfield has voluntarily absented himself from the House since his conviction. 45. We recommend that Lord Hanningfield be suspended from the service of the House for nine months, starting on the date on which any suspension motion is agreed by the House. 46. At the time of our meeting to consider what sanction to recommend, Lord Hanningfield had not repaid in full the sums which he wrongfully claimed. We recognise that he may make a full or partial repayment prior to any decision by the Committee for Privileges and Conduct or consideration of any suspension motion by the House. In this case we would stand by our recommendation of a period of suspension of nine months. 47. It may be the case, however, that Lord Hanningfield does not make any such offer of repayment. 48. In our report on the conduct of Baroness Uddin 2 we recommended a period of suspension for a period of three years “or until she has repaid the amount wrongly claimed, whichever is the later.” 3 The Committee for Privileges and Conduct decided that, as a point of principle, “the length of suspension should not be determined by reference to the time of repayment.” The Select Committee stated that they were “not in a position to comment on” the financial circumstances of Baroness Uddin and that our recommended sanction “risks having the effect of preventing her indefinitely from returning to the House ... [which] could exceed the powers of the House”. The Select Committee also noted that there was “a possibility that an indefinite suspension would result in the money never being recovered.” 4 49. We acknowledge that the Select Committee distinguished between the two issues of sanction and repayment. We also recognise that the House has no power to suspend a Member beyond the length of the current Parliament. However, we do not consider that a Member should be able to return to the service of the House while repayment of amounts which were wrongfully claimed is still due. This risks bringing the House into further disrepute, especially if the Member concerned is then able to claim further attendance allowances from the public purse. 50. We continue to believe that our earlier recommendation for any period of suspension to last until the amount owing has been repaid was correct in principle. We therefore invite the Committee for Privileges and Conduct to reconsider this issue. In any future case we would, of course, have regard to any guidance which the Select Committee were able to provide concerning the extent to which, and the way in which, we should have regard to a Member’s ability to repay. 1 2 3 4

APPENDIX 2: REPORT FROM THE HOUSE OF LORDS COMMISSIONER FOR STANDARDS Summary of the initial complaint 1. My investigation in to the conduct of Lord Hanningfield breaks new ground, in that it is the first investigation conducted by virtue of the ‘exceptional circumstances’ provision contained at Paragraph 103 of the ‘Guide to the Code of Conduct.’ 2. Lord Hanningfield was the subject of a police investigation which resulted in his eventual conviction on six charges of false accounting. 1 The charges concerned false claims made under the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme.2 Lord Hanningfield’s contested trial, conviction and imprisonment received widespread coverage in the media. That coverage highlighted that the offences related to his abuse of the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme. However, no complaint was received by either my office, or that of the Clerk of the Parliaments, in respect of Lord Hanningfield’s conduct. Thus, we faced a situation where a Member had been convicted in a court of law for offences directly involving his membership of the House of Lords and that misconduct was widely publicised. Yet, no complaint had been submitted in accordance with the provisions of the current ‘Code of Conduct and Guide to the Code of Conduct.’ Paragraph 103 recognises that in ‘exceptional circumstances’ I may, with the agreement of the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct, start an investigation in the absence of a complaint, either at the request of the Member concerned, or if, by other means, I become aware of evidence sufficient to establish a prima facie case that the Code of Conduct has been breached. 3. Lord Hanningfield was convicted on 26 May 2011 with a sentencing hearing set for 1 July. I wrote to the Sub-Committee on 27 June and sought your agreement to initiate an investigation on 1 July. I was advised on 14 July that you had granted your approval, subject to the issue of an appeal being completed prior to my investigation commencing. 4. I am grateful for your approval, as I feel the facts in this case clearly fall within the ‘exceptional circumstances’ envisaged when the current complaints regime was approved. I should comment that I intend to operate on the basis of a rebuttable presumption that a criminal conviction grounded in an abuse of the financial support provided to Members, will normally result in my seeking the agreement of the SubCommittee for an investigation. I am very conscious that the Sub-Committee is committed to a process which not only conforms to the principle(s) of ‘natural justice’ but which also treats all Members in an equitable manner. Thus, in this case my investigation followed on from an independently mounted criminal prosecution and conviction. Key Facts 5. My investigation focused on the four year period preceding Lord Hanningfield’s sentencing on 1 July 2011. During the relevant period (1 July 2007 to 30 June 2011), he submitted 18 claim forms for ‘attendance expenses’, prior to his being charged. Six claims formed the basis of the criminal charges brought against him and he was convicted on all six counts at Southwark Crown Court on 26 May 2011. He was subsequently sentenced to nine months imprisonment by Mr Justice Saunders, sitting at Maidstone Crown Court, on 1 July. 1 2
Section 17(1)(b) Theft Act 1968 Prior to April 2009, this was known as the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance[s] Scheme.

6. I commenced communication with Lord Hanningfield on 22 July 2011 and subsequently interviewed him at HMP Standford Hill on 16 August. I was accompanied by the Clerk to the Sub-Committee and the interview was recorded. A transcript is attached. 1 Following that interview I wrote to Lord Hanningfield on 23 August setting out a ‘financial support analysis’ and invited him to comment on my analysis and to highlight any errors or omissions and to supply additional factual information which seemed relevant to him. 7. In essence, my analysis suggested that he had made false claims as follows: Night Subsistence:
£30,254.50
Travel:
£2,808.00
8. It should be noted that Lord Hanningfield voluntarily refunded £1,800 to the House of Lords in December 2009. In addition, Lord Hanningfield submitted claims in respect of attendance in April and May 2011, which have not to date been paid by the Finance Department. These claims amount to £2,100. 9. Following receipt of my letter dated 23 August, Lord Hanningfield made contact with my office by telephone and accepted and agreed the analysis in respect of the ‘Night Subsistence’ claims. However, he did not feel my analysis was correct in relation to his travel claims. He asked me to review the trial transcript as he felt the travel issue was resolved in court. I responded in a letter dated 1 September, making it clear that I could not find the clarity or consensus he suggested. I again invited him to supply further information in relation to his travel claims by 19 September. 10. In the event, an email was received from Lord Hanningfield’s solicitors dated 29 September. Mr Spragg (Consulting Solicitor) argued in the email that they had conducted a partial reconciliation exercise in the context of the criminal trial, seeking to show that Lord Hanningfield did actually incur travel costs. He supplied some figures which purport to show examples of actual travel expenditure. Mr Spragg states, ‘it would take many hours to examine the bank records and driver records for each of the 36 months to produce a finite record of travel expenses incurred but we would be confident there would be many.’ 11. In my opinion the travel claims originally submitted to the Finance Department by Lord Hanningfield were undoubtedly a mixture of legitimate claims together with entirely false claims submitted to corroborate his claims for ‘Night Subsistence’. I do not believe the quantum involved justifies detailed research by either Lord Hanningfield or this office. I would suggest that the Sub-Committee focus exclusively on the ‘Night Subsistence’ claims, in view of the quantum and clear acceptance that they were entirely without legitimate justification. 12. Lord Hanningfield in interview accepted that he did breach the rules governing the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme. Findings 13. On the basis of the criminal convictions and crucially Lord Hanningfield’s own admission to me, I have no hesitation in finding that he did not act in good faith and submitted false claims for ‘night subsistence’. I am conscious that the false claims relate to a period prior to the application of the current Code of Conduct. Thus, the Code of Conduct which was in operation at the relevant time did not make specific reference to financial support for Members. However, in the context of the current 1
See Appendix 3.
2011
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
1625
Code of Conduct, Lord Hanningfield’s behaviour would without doubt also constitute a clear breach. 14. The question of reimbursement and/or of other action to regularise the position is not one for me. However, my analysis at paragraph 7 above may be of some assistance to the Sub-Committee. The amount falsely claimed in respect of ‘Night Subsistence’ has been accepted by Lord Hanningfield but he disputes the figure for travel. I would simply highlight Mr Justice Saunders’ sentencing remarks in this regard: “While the claims for overnight allowances were substantial, the false claims for travel were for comparatively small amounts and were made to fit in with the false claims for overnight accommodation so that Lord Hanningfield could avoid detection.” 15. Lord Hanningfield did not act in good faith and, in so doing, undermined public confidence in the integrity of Members of the House of Lords. His criminal defence is reflected in the judge’s sentencing remarks and in my interview with him; Lord Hanningfield seemed to ascribe his failings to inattention. In fairness to him, I should state that Lord Hanningfield has sought to cooperate with my investigation, promptly acknowledging communications from my office and openly accepting his failings. 3 October 2011 APPENDIX 3: TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING BETWEEN LORD HANNINGFIELD AND THE COMMISSIONER FOR STANDARDS, 16 AUGUST 2011 Lord Hanningfield: To start with, I obviously have press problems. I have problems with the media—all the time they want to put in the newspapers exactly what I am doing. I have not told anyone about your letter or about the inquiry. Obviously people might surmise it but presumably we will keep this interview quiet. I am not going to tell anyone and hopefully you will not tell anyone either. I know that you are doing a report, but that will be done in due course. The Commissioner for Standards (Mr Paul Kernaghan): That is a very valid concern, which has been raised by numerous Members of the House. Judith and I have been going round speaking to all the groups. Confidentiality is very sensitive to a lot of Peers and we totally understand that. It is on the public record that I am conducting an investigation into you. I will subsequently submit a report. That will not be public; it goes to the sub-committee. The sub-committee will then make its own decisions about publicity, but I can assure you that nothing will go in the media tomorrow or the next day. Lord Hanningfield: That is fine. Particularly when I go out on a tag, which is likely to be 8 September, the press will be very interested in me and the media will be at the gate here. You know that I was leader of Essex County Council, so I have a lot of local publicity. The media will be in my garden and I am not going to say anything about what is happening in the House of Lords. When I come out I want to go back there but I am not going to say anything about it. Lord Taylor has been asking my advice. I have not said that I am seeing you today. He has told me that you have now said that you will see him. I have not said anything at all; I have just been non-committal about my own situation. It is up to him to resolve his situation. I have not said anything about you seeing me. I am not going to tell him. I am not going to lie; I am just going to say, “Well, I am talking,” or something. I am not going to lie about it but I am not going to tell him that I have seen you today. I do not want to get confused with Lord Taylor.
1626

2011
The Commissioner for Standards: Exactly. This is important and I just say again that I appreciate the approach that you are indicating. This interview is unique and confidential between us and you. Any investigation that we conduct with another Member of the House of Lords is unique between us and that individual and confidential and I will not be telling Lord X or Lord Y that I have spoken to you. Lord Hanningfield: And I will not say that I have seen you. He has asked me what I am doing and I have just said that I am in discussion with you. I will continue to use that line rather than saying that I have seen you. As I say, it is up to him what he does. He tends to say to me that he does not want to do anything until he gets out, but anyway that is up to him. He has walked past me about three times this morning, so I have had to quickly hide the paper with the House of Lords heading. The Commissioner for Standards: Please be assured that, in so far as it is within our gift, we will respect confidentiality. That is the way we operate. In essence, what I would like to do is to say a few words formally to set the scene for the interview and then invite you to respond. We will very much go where the interview takes us. I wrote to you on 22 July—I am conscious that you have it in front of you—advising you that I was conducting an investigation in accordance with the Code of Conduct and the guide to the Code of Conduct, specifically setting out those areas of the Code of Conduct that I feel you may have breached and providing you with appropriate evidence. The guide provides you with an opportunity to give a full and accurate account of the matters in question. It says—and I am conscious of all the publicity surrounding your case and indeed of the health issues—that I should give you the opportunity to do it by way of face-to-face interview if you felt that that was better. Lord Hanningfield: That is very kind of you. The Commissioner for Standards: I am very open about that. I am looking for your view in respect of the factual matters that I have supplied to you in terms of evidence. There is also one other issue that I will mention to you. It is not strictly speaking, under the code and the guide, within my remit. My remit is to investigate and make a view to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct. When it then discharges its responsibilities, it has to look at what is called regularising the position. In one context it could be paying back money et cetera. Whether you wish to even touch on that is a matter for you—explaining or saying to us what you are doing in terms of regularising the position. I stress that that is not strictly speaking a matter for me as the commissioner, but it may be useful, so I just flag that up. In essence, Lord Hanningfield, I provided evidence to you indicating that on the basis of conviction et cetera I believe you have breached the Code of Conduct, specifically in terms of personal honour and under paragraph 10(c) of the code in respect of the rules around financial support to Members. This is very much an opportunity for you to explain matters. My remit is very much to be objective and independent and to submit a report to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct. As far as I am concerned, that is open. I am not here to secure a conviction. I am not here to operate as, if you will, your defence counsel. I am here to be an objective investigator, so I am not just interested in statements of admission saying that you are guilty. If there is something by reason of explanation, that is, I think, appropriate and valid and I can incorporate that into my report to the sub-committee. That is very much my agenda this morning and on that basis I invite you to address the points in my letter and basically to say whatever you feel is appropriate. Lord Hanningfield: To start with, could I just ask about the process? The Commissioner for Standards: Please.
2011
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
1627
Lord Hanningfield: I know that there is the sub-committee and that the subcommittee receives your report. From what I have picked up from other similar cases, I gather that the Peer in question normally has a friend or something. I do not know the technicalities, but is that right? Lord Fowler has asked to come. I know Lord Fowler; I went to school with him, so I have known Norman Fowler all my life. He is down to come to see me in due course and I did not know whether I should talk to him about it, ask his advice or ask him to be my friend when it comes to me. I realise that your report goes to the sub-committee, but then it goes to the larger committee. I know that one is not supposed to have legal representation. My solicitor knows that I am seeing you, but he is the only person who does. He does not know exactly what day I am seeing you, but I told him that I would see you. The Commissioner for Standards: You have a right of appeal in the sense that whatever I submit to the sub-committee—you are quite right about this—then goes to the full committee and you have a right of appeal. I can think of previous hearings where someone has challenged and, yes, they have had a friend or perhaps a legal representative, but I think that the guidance is very clear: you can have whomever you want there but only you can speak. You can consult privately with whom you will, but I would not accept an answer from any legal representative; I am empowered to accept an answer only from the Peer—the Member themselves—and that is the way that I would seek to operate. As I said, I provided you with a full copy of the code and the guidance and you have a right of appeal as the process proceeds, so in a sense I am not the final court. I am an independent investigator and I will submit my views to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct, but you have a right of appeal after that stage. As I say, it will be a matter for you to take counsel, in the informal sense of that word, at that stage. I am very much looking at the facts with a view to submitting a report to the sub-committee. Lord Hanningfield: Okay. Shall I go through my story? The Commissioner for Standards: Please. Lord Hanningfield: That is probably the best thing to do for now. I suppose that the problems that I have go back to around 2003. I became leader of Essex County Council in 2000 when there was a minority administration. I became a Peer in 1998 and an active one in 1999. I was not particularly active to start with but in 2003 I was asked to be a Front Bencher by the Conservatives and I got busier and busier. First of all, I was a Whip, working with various other Peers who took the lead. Then I became a lead on education, local government and transport, which is a very busy portfolio. Ultimately, because all this was happening, Tom Strathclyde moved me across to the business and industry side. The period when I was transport spokesman was very busy and at times I had to be on the Front Bench every day of the week, doing Questions, legislation, the dinner break debate or something or other. From 2003, I just got busier and busier. I was not that busy before 2003 but in 2003 I started renting a flat in London. I had two flats: one in Westminster and one in Pimlico. It was not very economic. Because of my activities in Essex, I could not attend the Lords on days when I was not busy there, so my attendance was around 100 days a year. When you are paying nearly £20,000 a year to rent a flat and only attending for 100 days, you are very much out of pocket, as you are paying a lot more money for the flat than you can claim. Anyway, I was obviously not breaking any rules or anything at that stage. At that time, I was using where necessary a county council car. I have been doing that for over 20 years. I was chairman of the education committee at the Association of
1628
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
2011
County Councils and then I was leader of the Conservative group at the Association of County Councils. This was before we had the Local Government Association—I was one of the originators of the Local Government Association. I was leader of the Conservative group on the LGA and vice-chairman of the LGA to Jeremy Beecham. Education has been my main thing for most of my local government career and I was chairman of what was called CLEA—the Council of Local Education Authorities. I was also leader of the committee that negotiated teachers’ pay and all that sort of stuff, so I have been using a car back and forwards to London for over 20 years as one of the leading lights of Essex County Council. It was nothing unusual. In fact, I was in London as much in those days as I was when I became a Peer. I have never been married, so I lived with my parents the whole time. Both my parents died, which was quite traumatic. My mother died of dementia and my father went to pieces after she died. He had been looking after her but he died in 2004. Therefore, it was rather a problem having a flat in London. I had a big dog and I still have things at home. I was a farmer originally—my background is totally in agriculture. I became very prominent in local government. I spent years in local government. Before all this, I had been on the county council for 40 years. I have been on police committees and things like that—I think that you are a former policeman—and I have been involved in local government for 40 years in a voluntary way. We did not get paid at all. I started to go back home a bit more because of the circumstances there—the house, the dog, the chickens and everything else. I realise now that I made a grave mistake, which is of course why I am here. I am very sad that I am here because I have given my whole life service to the community. It is very unfortunate and at 70 this is all having an effect on my health. To a certain extent it has been quite a good year, because I am having a rest. That is one of the advantages of being in prison—you can have a rest. I just got busier and busier, with no family support, and it is quite difficult living by yourself, actually maintaining a house and shopping and organising cleaners and dog walkers and everything associated with that. I had to try to maintain myself, so I gave up the flats in London and commuted much more back to Essex. I made a grave mistake, really, in not taking the whole thing seriously enough. I carried on claiming in the way that I had claimed before. That was my grave mistake—what I should have done is rethought it all. I filled in the forms in two minutes each time. I just carried on claiming in the way that I had. I do not want to talk about other Peers, but 85 per cent were claiming the full expenses; I am not going to name names but I know a lot of Peers who were claiming for nights that they were not in London. It was seen by a lot of people as a sort of living outside London allowance, in a way. I know that has been all through a trial and everyone says no and everything else. But we are going back before the expenses scandal and everything else, quite honestly. I am not going to name names but I know several Peers on whom you have not have had to do any inquiries who were doing exactly the same thing as I was. I should not have done it; I should have talked to our panel and should have reassessed what I was claiming and what I was doing. One of the problems was that I was employing someone in the Lords. I was sharing his salary with Tom Strathclyde and therefore I was paying out a salary. It was to Giles Roca, who is very good. I paid him for two years. So I had my expenses in the House of Lords, plus the tremendous amount of entertaining that a Front-Bench spokesman has to do; I did a lot for Essex County Council but that was paid for by Essex County Council. Being transport spokesman, you have all sorts of transport groups and everything else. You have to buy lunches, give drinks and everything else, and it is all
2011
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
1629
quite an expensive thing. I am actually, even with the claiming, seriously out of pocket by it all. In fact, I am the only one of the six people who were taken to court who did not claim legal expenses. So I have had the enormous legal expenses, which I have had to remortgage my house to sort out. I am a farmer—I do not know if you know much about farming—and farming is up and down; I was in a partnership and I did not come out of the farming thing with very much money. Quite honestly I have spent all that on doing my job in both Essex County Council and the House of Lords. Even the judge says that I did not get very much remuneration for what I was doing. Other people got much more. Anyway, I enjoyed what I was doing. The real problem was that I was so busy that I was not really thinking about things like expenses or anything; I was just getting on with my job—to grave effect, really. Now I regret it all, because if I had remortgaged my house then and borrowed more money I could have carried on—it would have meant that I was subsidising, as I did anyway, but I could have subsidised what I was doing and carried on doing it. It would have been likely that I would have become a Minister in the current Government. I have been told that by lots of people and that would have been a nice finale to my career instead of being in prison. It is all pretty traumatic, really. Anyway, what happened was, in my local government role, there was a reorganisation of schools in Colchester. The MP for Colchester is Bob Russell and he and I bitterly disagreed. Fortunately I do not face a lot of hatred from people but he seems to hate me totally. He even said on the train one day that he absolutely hated me, in front of lots of other people. We had a big disagreement over the reorganisation of schools. I was trying to improve good schools in line with both Labour and Conservative policies, and I closed bad schools. He disagreed with it, for his own election reasons, I think, and he did some investigation. I had not kept it a secret that I was going home a lot because the car was outside the House of Lords and people could see my expenses. I had not actually camouflaged it in anyway; what I was doing was all fairly open. He obviously knew that I was using a car and he saw my claims. First of all he made a speech in the Commons. When you make speeches about other people, you are supposed to tell them. He did not tell me and the Speaker stopped him. But he went to the police. I think that he is still the only complainant against me. I do not think that there are any other complainants against me in the House of Lords. The only thing is that he went to the police. I did not really have a chance to reassess or pay back or anything like that at that stage, as others had done. I know because I spoke to Lord Bassam, Steve Bassam, whom I have known for a long while because he was the leader of a local authority, the leader of Brighton and Hove—I knew him before he became a Peer or the Whip in the Labour Party. I spoke to him about what the Labour Party was doing and he said that they had advised all their Peers to pay as much back as possible. I know, for example, that Lord Prosser paid back £20,000 or something. If I had had a chance to reassess— but because he had gone directly to the police it did not give me the chance to do very much. I went and saw Michael Pownall and had a long discussion with him. He said that if I paid a lot back at that stage it would look like admitting guilt. I thought, because of what I have said to you, that I would not be found guilty because, quite honestly, I am not a criminal. If I thought that I was breaking the law I would not have done it. I realise now that I did not take the expense forms as seriously as I should have done. I realise now because all this has happened to me, but at that stage I was not taking it seriously and thinking I was just doing the same as lots of other Peers were doing. When I spoke to Steve Bassam, he said, “You should pay back as much as
1630
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
2011
you can.” So I went and asked Michael Pownall how much I should pay back and he said, “Look, if you pay a lot back, you look as if you are admitting guilt,” and that if they were going to take this far as they did in the end it would look like admitting guilt. But there were some obvious ones. Given the speed with which I did the forms, there were some obvious ones that I should not have claimed because they were not overnight expenses in the way that I was seeing myself as living outside London—they were ones where I had done other things like got on a plane and gone to India. Clearly I had neither gone home nor stayed in London that night—I had got on a plane. Michael Pownall said, “Well, you could have put that down as parliamentary expenses.” I could have done because I was actually meeting parliamentarians in India, although I was doing it for Essex County Council, but perhaps I should have done. Anyway, some of the things like that, some obvious ones, I paid back. I paid around £2,000 back at that stage, which is obviously part of the whole thing. That did not come out very clearly in the court case. They were obvious ones that I should not have claimed—I had not even gone back to Essex that night, but I had done other things like gone off to a conference or something like that. I talked to Lord Strathclyde about it and he said, “Well, we all make mistakes on these forms. There cannot be one Peer who has not made a few mistakes,” and told me not to worry too much about it. The whole thing, of course, was rather different from that because it was about my going home most nights rather than actually staying in London. If the police had not been investigating it all, I would have paid back much more of it at that stage, but because it was in the hands of the police and then the CPS, I was expecting more investigation by the police. I had one interview under caution around August 2009 and then I did not hear any more. My solicitor was in correspondence with them. We thought that they were going to ask more questions, and more questions of my staff and people who supported me, but I did not hear anything. They had quite a lot of my bank account showing my expenditure; they did not have a lot of credit card stuff at that stage. I am not very good at this. Because I was always rushing around, I tended to have a cheque in my wallet, fill it out for a bill and then not go home and put in the stub. I was not really worried about expenditure. It was a hell of a job, quite honestly, to show my expenditure. I still do not have them all. We had to get copies of cheques. Years ago, they used to send your cheques back with your statements. Now they do not; they just send you a cheque number and an amount of money. We tried to chase a lot of my cheques. We managed to get about 50 per cent of them. I do not know whether there is a trial report yet, but we were able to show—we did a lot of work on this—that I had spent more than I had claimed in the House of Lords on one thing or another, although it might have been in the wrong categories. We still have not completed all that work. It was easy to get hold of the credit card details. Credit cards obviously show what you have spent money on, whereas bank statements do not. We did all that work and Bob Russell was still pursuing me vigorously. To our surprise, the next thing we knew was that it had been referred to the CPS without much more discussion with the police. Both my solicitor and I were surprised about that. We did not think that there had been a thorough investigation by the Met of my expenses. Clearly it had just relied on the car records and the fact that I had gone home by car. That was the main thing when it came to trial. I did not expect it to happen like that all the time. That is why I paid for my own defence. I thought it would all disappear and was horrified when it did not.
2011

1631
Here I am. That is my story. I am horrified by the whole thing. As the judge said at the trial, he was amazed that someone in his late 60s started committing criminal offences. If I thought I was committing a criminal offence, I would have done something totally different. I did not dream that I was doing something that might end up with me in prison. It was all very unfortunate. I have had two terrible years. To a certain extent it has been a relief to be in prison. I had two terrible years of not knowing what was going to happen, with the media constantly around, in my garden. Because I have been leader of Essex County Council, there has been much more local press interest. Unfortunately, daily local newspapers have to have a story every day. I will get it again when I get out in early September. The press will obviously be very interested in what is happening with regard to you and all that. It will happen all over again. To a certain extent, this has been a bit of peace. My solicitor and others have been followed by the press while I have been in here. For example, they want to know where my dog is. He is quite well known; he is a big Burmese mountain dog and has been on television several times. There is a county council by-election going on because I have sadly lost my county council seat. There is a campaign to have the dog as candidate. The big story is, “Where is Jefferson?” He is named Jefferson after the American president. He is hidden or people would be trying to photograph him. It will pretty awful when I get out of here on 8 September. That, really, is my story. It is very unfortunate. It is my own fault. I should like to get back into the House of Lords. I think I still have something to contribute, not least on prison. Having been in prison, I am an expert on prisons now. I have to give lots of people advice here. I am more like a consultant in here. People come up to me the whole time saying, “Can you read this for me?” or, “Can you write this for me?” or, “I’m having problems”. They think I am an expert on legislation but I am not. My thing was education or transport. I have been treated very well in prison by both the warders and the prisoners. It has not been that bad an experience, although the food is absolutely terrible. It was not very nice being in Elmley. In here you wander around and have more visitors than anyone else. It has been a rest, as I said. Now I shall have to face everything again outside, not least my financial problems, which I have made much worse by paying for my own defence. The Commissioner for Standards: Thank you; that is helpful. It is useful that you have been able to articulate in your own words the saga that you have lived through and your reasoning, to a certain degree. That is helpful. We both have the taped record of it and both Judith and I have been taking notes. I should like to focus on one or two points. Lord Hanningfield: Could I just say that I have paid back £2,000? I did not attend very much in the latter stages before all this but I think there is around £2,100 outstanding to me. I do not know what that is. That can obviously go towards any repayment, plus the £2,000 I have paid. I am willing to pay back anything that should be paid back. It might take me a month or two once I am out to sort out my financial affairs but I am prepared to pay that back. The Commissioner for Standards: You have raised that, and it is the ideal situation. I do not want to put words in your mouth but, from what you have just said, there are the expense claims, with which you have been supplied, that were the basis of the six charges of which you were found guilty. Is it your intention to repay the amounts specified in those six expense claims back to the House of Lords? Lord Hanningfield: Because you were taking four, I was not sure whether you meant that I should pay four or six back?
1632
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
2011
The Commissioner for Standards: This is a matter for you. I want to stress— Lord Hanningfield: I have not consulted anyone on that. I am not in much of a position. It is very difficult. I have not had a visit from my solicitor. I will take some advice on that. He knows the situation; I spoke to him on the phone. It is not easy to communicate here unless you have a visit. Phone calls are very short because you are allowed only around £6 or £7 a week for the telephone. Mostly we speak on mobiles, which seems to be more expensive than using a land line. The Commissioner for Standards: Can I push you a little? I take the point; you are absolutely right to say that you should always take legal counsel in respect of legal matters. However, my perspective here is that you are a Member of the House of Lords. You have indicated very clearly that it is your intention to resume sitting and participating in the work of the House of Lords. In a sense, legal advice may be relevant to certain legal considerations. This is more about you going forward as a Member of the House of Lords. I think it would be appropriate for me to say that I have no doubt that the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct would be interested to know about the situation in respect of money you obtained inappropriately from the House of Lords. Please answer as you see fit: is it your intention to repay the money identified in the six charges on which you were convicted? I am focusing on the four within the time limit of my investigative remit, which is limited to four years. It so happens that there are four counts. However, you were convicted on six charges. I simply ask the awkward question. Lord Hanningfield: I think I shall probably say that, yes, I will pay back the money from the six charges. As I say, there is probably £4,000 of it around somewhere—the £2,000 I have paid back and the £2,000 I have not had. That reduces the amount of money that I shall have to pay back. The Commissioner for Standards: That is entirely a matter between you and the House authorities. I just flag it up to you that it would be relevant if you were to repay that money. I suggest that it would be of interest to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct whether you had repaid it when it comes to consider your case. Lord Hanningfield: I see. When is it likely to consider it? Clerk to the Commissioner (Judith Brooke): That depends on the timing of the report from the commissioners to the sub-committee. They will expedite it. As soon as the sub-committee receives the report, it will want to consider it in good time. Lord Hanningfield: I cannot do anything at all about it until I get out. You cannot even sign a cheque in here. The Commissioner for Standards: I recognise that. I simply suggest that, since you have indicated that you will get out in early September, you might wish to look at that as soon as you can. Lord Hanningfield: Looking at that will be the first thing that I do. As I say, it is virtually impossible here. You cannot sign anything other than one or two things that my solicitor has managed to send me. I have signed them and sent them back. However, I did not want to give people power of attorney. I had a car accident a week before I was sentenced. Everyone suggested that I should not go to jail, including the probation service, my medical reports and everything else. I did not really think that I would go to jail. In the end, it was obvious that I was and that it had been decided ages ago. However, my insurance will not sort everything out until I get out of prison. Unless I give power of attorney, they will not even repair my car. I cannot even get my car repaired. I thought that while I was in prison, I could at least get my car repaired but I cannot do that. You are totally in limbo. That is something that I shall talk about
2011
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
1633
because it is harmful. It is not as bad for me as it is for some other people in rehabilitation. You cannot do anything to sort yourself out for afterwards. The Commissioner for Standards: I recognise that. Lord Hanningfield: That is one thing that I should like to speak about a bit. The Commissioner for Standards: Moving on, there is a matter between you and the House authorities in respect of regularising the position. However, I am specifically looking at whether you breached the Code of Conduct. I am not interested in the criminal law per se, although it is obviously relevant to a degree. This is about the Code of Conduct that governs the lives of Members of the House of Lords. There are specifically two areas on which I invite you to respond. I put it in these terms: on the basis of your conviction, there appears to be clear evidence that you did not act on your personal honour and, specifically, that you breached the rules agreed by the House in respect of financial support for Members. I note that, in essence, you have said that you were self-evidently a very busy person. You have accepted openly that you did not, perhaps, pay attention to filling out forms, et cetera, to the degree that you should have. Lord Hanningfield: If you are talking about forms, they are all identical. The Commissioner for Standards: I have to put it to you in very clear language that you did not comply with the rules that the House set out. The rules in respect of night subsistence were clear. If you had a second residence or were staying in a hotel, you were entitled to claim because your place of residence was self-evidently Kent. That did not apply in your case, yet you were still claiming. Therefore, I have to ask you: do you accept, perhaps with the benefit of hindsight, that that was a breach of the rules? Lord Hanningfield: Yes, I do accept that in hindsight. I would not have breached the rules if I thought I was breaching the rules at the time, because I am not a person who would have done that. I have lived my whole life, or 40 years, putting in expenses claims. I have done the Further Education Funding Council, and I was a member of the National Farmers Union executive. For all those things, I have been claiming expenses, one way or another, for 50 years, because I started on my public career when I was 20. So if I thought I was breaking the law, I would have never done it. But I accept now, in hindsight, I was breaching the rules, yes. The Commissioner for Standards: Thank you for that. Now that you have explained the background and accepted clearly on the record that you did breach the rules governing support to Members, is there anything that you would like to say that would assist me in my work in submitting a report to the sub-committee? Lord Hanningfield: Well, I think that I have said quite clearly that I did not think I was at the time. Lady Wilcox said that I was naive; that was the word that she used to describe me. I think even the judge said that at one stage—rather than thinking I was a criminal, I was more naive about it all. I should have done much more work and thought about it much more. I also should have, as it was going to cost me money—it was a bit stupid to say, when I accepted a peerage—I did not have to be a FrontBencher. You can accept a peerage and go to the House of Lords without doing too much and without spending a lot of money. The fact that I was a very active FrontBencher, one of the most active, doing a lot and entertaining a lot, is why I spent so much money. Therefore, with hindsight, I would have done it totally differently. I enjoyed being a Front-Bencher. When you are doing bits of legislation and putting forward 100 amendments, it means work over the weekend. People do not understand that, I do not think. It has been very difficult. In here, people do not understand what
1634
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
2011
the House of Lords is. Everyone in here thinks I am an MP; they have never heard of the House of Lords—it is all MPs. Even the doctor here that I had to see said, “Did you have a duck house, and what about a moat?” Those are the things that are much more focused in people’s minds—the duck houses and the moat—although nothing happened in a criminal way about them. The whole thing four or five years ago was nothing like this. It is the publicity of it all, and we come back again to the hacking and the riots. So it was not in the forefront of my mind. I realise now that I should have reorganised my affairs totally differently. I am very sad about it, because I did enjoy participating in the House of Lords; that is why I want to go back again. I know I will not be a Minister now or a Front-Bencher, but I think I have quite a lot to contribute, given my work over many years in government and other things—farming and now being an expert on prisons. I think I can contribute a fair bit to the House of Lords. I suspect that there will be a suspension or something, but I would like to get back and be involved. Although I have had bad health, if I rest a bit when I get out—I am obviously not on the county council any more—I hope I can contribute in the House of Lords. I regret it all, really, because it has ruined my life. It is extraordinary. Basically I see it as a small thing. Here, I feel as though I am doing a project. I do not feel as if someone has sent me to prison. It is funny but I feel, because I have to keep talking to people about things and because I ask people a lot of questions here, as if I am doing a project on prisons. It is a funny experience, and I am going to write about it; I might write a book, a bit like Jonathan Aitken and Jeffrey Archer. I feel as if I am in limbo. Perhaps I am not getting myself over clearly to you, but I have gone through very strange experiences, as you might imagine, in the past few months. The Commissioner for Standards: I can well imagine. Lord Hanningfield: To start with it was terrible, when I was first taken to Elmley, which is obviously a big category prison, where you were shut up in your cell for 22 hours a day. But I was in there for two weeks. Fortunately, the people I was with were not bad people; I was surprised by how many quite nice people were in prison. They had all committed crimes, of course. It was an interesting experience. But that does not help you. I just regret it and I would have done it differently. I would have talked to people such as Michael Pownall and others years ago—that was a big mistake—or even with my own colleagues. The subject of expenses was not discussed very much four or five years ago; it is only because of the much more recent thing. You did see of course what other people were claiming, because it was all published. The Commissioner for Standards: I take what you are saying but, equally, I would have to come back to you and say, “Excuse me, you had to fill the form out. You had a very distinguished public service career, you are a literate and educated individual and you were signing and certifying certain expense claims that were not valid.” Lord Hanningfield: Yes, I accept that now, but I did not put the importance on them that I should have done at that time. I accept that. The Commissioner for Standards: Judith, are there any points you would like to have covered? Clerk to the Commissioner: No, I think we have covered everything. Lord Hanningfield: You do not know the timetable of when you report? It will go to the sub-committee initially, obviously. The Commissioner for Standards: What I can say to you, Lord Hanningfield, is that I will seek to submit my report to the sub-committee within the next fortnight. Lord Hanningfield: I see, yes.
2011
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
1635
The Commissioner for Standards: I take the very clear view, both in fairness to you and in fairness to the corporate reputation of the House, that I want to expedite this matter. Lord Hanningfield: I agree with that, yes. The Commissioner for Standards: You will know better than I when the House is in recess, when the sub-committee will be able to reconvene and when it will be able to receive my report formally and deliberate on it. But I will safely say to you that within the next fortnight I will submit my report to the sub-committee. Lord Hanningfield: Do I get a copy of that? The Commissioner for Standards: Interestingly, if I was going to dispute issues of fact, I would share a draft of those parts of the report dealing with those issues of fact, so you would have an opportunity to comment on it. I will do that, but on the basis of this morning’s interview I do not think that there will be any disparity. I think you have accepted the issues of fact—that you were convicted on the six counts and, with the benefit of hindsight you would have filled in the forms with more care. But you do accept that you were wrong to fill the forms out and, therefore, you did breach the code. I will send you a draft of those particular parts, but I do not think that there will be an issue in respect of fact. As soon as you get back to me with an acknowledgement of receipt, I can submit my final report. Lord Hanningfield: If you do it while I am still here—I still have two and a half weeks or three weeks here—will you send it under recorded post? The Commissioner of Standards: Yes. Lord Hanningfield: The advantage of recorded post as well is that I have to sign for it and I open it. Obviously, if there was something in it they wanted—when it comes like that, they do not even look at it. They just let me open the recorded letter, whereas they open all the other letters. The Commissioner for Standards: You will have it within the next fortnight, without doubt. As I say, I am very keen to finalise this matter, in fairness both to the House corporately and you as an individual, so that people can get on with their lives. So it will be done rapidly. I will say to you now—and I do not think that this will come as any surprise to you—that I will be reporting to the sub-committee that I believe you have breached the code of conduct with respect of personal honour and financial support. But I take on board the context in which you have put your breaches to me. My report will reflect that, and it will be a matter for the sub-committee, which is composed—no double entendre meant—of your peers. They will decide what they feel is appropriate. But you will again be involved in that process. Lord Hanningfield: I think most people thought I did a reasonable job in the House of Lords, so I hope they will want to see me back there participating. I have had a lot of support from all parties—you know, comforting support from lots and lots of Peers, and more so from the Lords than from the county council, in a way. It has all been very sad. The Commissioner for Standards: For your information, because it touches on the point that you have just asked about, I would just say that I submit my report to the sub-committee and the sub-committee makes a report, and their report and mine go to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. At the same time as the report is made to the committee, a copy is sent to the Member concerned. Lord Hanningfield: I see.
1636
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
2011
The Commissioner for Standards: So you then get a copy of both my report and the sub-committee’s report. You are given a deadline and you could appeal the findings of the sub-committee, or you could accept them. So I hope that gives you the information you require. I will let you know matters of fact, then the sub-committee will consider my report, deliberate, and make recommendations. Then you get a copy of both my full report and their report, which is submitted to the full committee. Lord Hanningfield: Yes, I understand that. I have got that clear. The Commissioner for Standards: You could appeal at that stage if you were so minded. Lord Hanningfield: Okay. All right. The Commissioner for Standards: Unless there is anything else you would like to say, I would like to terminate the interview. Thank you for your time. I do recognise the strange experiences that you have been living through, as you have said, but it is helpful that you have been willing to meet us. Lord Hanningfield: Well, thank you very much for coming, because it is very much better than my trying to write. The facilities in here for doing that sort of thing are not good, and it was much better for me to talk to you than to try to put all that down on paper. I did a sort of résumé of my life, if you like, for my solicitor and my barristers. If you wanted a copy of that, you could have one. The Commissioner of Standards: I appreciate that, but I have the transcript of the trial proceedings. Lord Hanningfield: You have, right. The Commissioner for Standards: I am conscious of your background, et cetera. I am grateful for that, but I think I am in a position to submit a comprehensive report. Lord Hanningfield: Okay. Thank you. The Commissioner for Standards: I terminate the interview at 10.20 am. APPENDIX 4: APPEAL BY LORD HANNINGFIELD TO THE COMMITTEE FOR PRIVILEGES AND CONDUCT 1. I do not intend to dispute the findings of the House of Lords Commissioner for Standards in his report of 3 October 2011. I accept that I transgressed the law and did not act in good faith and submitted false claims for overnight allowances. 2. I do wish to appeal against the recommendation of the Sub Committee on Lord’s conduct that I be suspended from the House for 9 months from the date of pronouncement of suspension by the House. I would like to take the opportunity to address the Committee for Privileges and Conduct on Monday 31 October 2011. 3. My case attracted widespread publicity – none of it of my making. I kept a dignified silence in the face of extreme adverse media scrutiny. This has clearly affected the minds of people approaching my case although I am confident that it will not have played any part in the findings of the Commission for Standards. 4. However, the intense media scrutiny did affect the preparation of my defence and I was unable to make good a number of the assertions I put forward to the police in interview. Having said this, I do, as I said to the Commissioner, accept that I should not have made the claims that I did make for overnight subsistence and I truly regret that I did make those claims.

5. It is striking that no complaint has been made to the House about my conduct. The police did receive a complaint from the other House and did investigate. I offered to refer myself to the Commissioner during the course of the police investigation but was told by the Clerk of Parliaments that there was no mechanism for doing so. I assessed my own claims and, as the Committee will know I did make a repayment of claims I had already made. I tried to engage with the Finance Department over further repayments but was not assisted, presumably because of the police investigation. 6. The police investigation led to my prosecution. Unlike all others who suffered similarly I did not resort to public funds (Legal Aid) to pay for my defence. I was informed I was eligible to apply for and receive Legal Aid but I chose to fund my lawyers myself. I am still struggling to pay but I will do so. 7. I gave evidence to the court and answered all questions fully and frankly. My defence did not involve anyone else and no blame was attached by me to any other person. Although I did plead Not Guilty, I accepted the consequences of my own actions and I do not believe that exercising my right to plead Not Guilty brought the House into disrepute. Having been found Guilty I only have myself to blame and attach no blame to any other person. 8. The case against me did not involve any allegations of the creation of false invoices or the creation of false alibis. The invoices I did submit were wrong but did not refer to any other documents specially created by me or anyone else to further the crime. 9. I have been tried in a criminal court and my reputation has been ruined. I have lost the job that I loved and I have been unable to contribute to the work of the House which I also loved. I was essentially doing two full time jobs but enjoyed every minute. Even without being in prison I have suffered more than most people might have done. 10. The Judge, in sentencing me, recognised that I was in a different category to others charged and found guilty of similar offences. It is not to be assumed that because I was sentenced to 9 months’ imprisonment but released after 9 weeks that I was accorded any special treatment. I was not. All prisons are considered for early release on tag at a particular point and the Judge would have known exactly how long I was to serve behind bars. I am still under curfew. 11. As the Committee knows, I have absented myself from the House since my trial. I do not believe that I should be punished again for the same offence now by this House. I have been punished in accordance with the law of the land and that should be sufficient. It would be unfair to suspend me from the House for any longer than I spent in prison. If the Committee feels that some additional sanction should be imposed then I urge the Committee not to recommend suspension for any longer than the extent of my original sentence, that is, until March 2012. 12. As regards repaying the subsistence I claimed, I agree that this must be repaid fully and in a timely manner. The law provides for this too and I face a hearing in December at which the question of confiscation of my assets will be considered. I am hopeful of making arrangements to repay the House before then so that the Court need not be troubled with that as an issue at the hearing. I feel an intense obligation to pay this money back just as soon as I am able. My finances are not good, having lost my job, and facing large legal bills too. With compassion I will ensure all will be repaid. 13. I am anxious to start rebuilding my life as everyone who has been to prison knows is not an easy task. I seek the help of the Committee in this task rather than further punishment.

APPENDIX 5: LORD HANNINGFIELD’S ORAL EVIDENCE BEFORE THE COMMITTEE FOR PRIVILEGES AND CONDUCT, 31 OCTOBER 2011 Members present: Baroness Anelay of St Johns Lord Brabazon of Tara (Chairman) Lord Brooke of Sutton Mandeville Lord Eames Lord Howe of Aberavon Lord Laming Lord Mackay of Clashfern Lord McNally Baroness Royall of Blaisdon Baroness Scotland of Asthal Lord Scott of Foscote Lord Strathclyde Witness: Lord Hanningfield, a Member of the House, examined. Q1 The Chairman: Lord Hanningfield, good afternoon and thank you for coming to this meeting to speak to your appeal against the sanction recommended by the SubCommittee on Lords’ Conduct. You probably know all the Members of this Committee, but if not we have provided nameplates for the Members. The two Members of the Select Committee who also sit on the Sub-Committee, Lord Irvine of Lairg and Baroness Manningham-Buller, are not taking part in this hearing or considering your appeal; they are not here. We are, of course, holding this meeting in private, but the Hansard reporter will be preparing a transcript for publication with our report. You have, I see, brought your adviser with you. You are welcome to consult him in the course of the meeting before answering any questions, but, as you are aware, you will be expected to speak on your own behalf. We have your written appeal, which I hope all Members of the Committee have read. The purpose of this meeting is not to cross-examine you in detail, but to give you a chance to present your appeal in person and to give Members of the Committee the opportunity to clarify any uncertainties that they may have as to your grounds for appealing. I expect this meeting to be relatively short, although of course there is no strict time limit. Would you like to start by making any opening remarks? Lord Hanningfield: Thank you, my Lord Chairman. I would like to introduce Mr Mark Spragg, who is my solicitor and my adviser. He recognises that he cannot say anything. I also apologise, as you will have seen, that I have grown a beard while I have been out, which I will leave for the moment. First of all, I would like to thank you for seeing me today. I would also like to thank the Commissioner’s Office for the work they have done over the last few weeks with me. Obviously, this is very new to me, but I have had a lot of assistance from their office in the way that it operates, and therefore I am pleased to have the opportunity to be with you this afternoon.

You will have seen my appeal. There are a few things I would like to add to it. I have been going through a nightmare for over two years. It started in June 2009, at the time of all the publicity about parliamentary expenses. It has gone on from June 2009 until now and it is not finished yet, because I am here today. So, I have had over two and a half years of it. Several, including some around this table, will know what it is like with the media and the press. I have had a nightmare of that, with them camping outside my house and being there from 6 in the morning and still persistently challenging me even now. It has gone on for so long. I have co-operated with everyone, including the police, very fully and I am still co-operating with anyone that I now have to co-operate with. As you will know from the records, there has been no complaint against me in the House of Lords, which is quite unusual, and I have been aware the whole time that the complaint was made by a certain individual. I cannot understand how someone can hate me so much, but he has complained about me to the police, to the Audit Commission and to the Standards Board. It was all over school reorganisation. We were all trying to do our best for schools—something I have agreed with Lord Adonis about. So I have really suffered over this and I had a terrible time over the last two years. A lot of Peers and MPs at the time of the newspaper furore were able to pay their expenses and allowances back. Because of the circumstances and the police investigation, I was told I could not do that. In some cases others paid back very much more than the amounts of money I have been involved with. In fact, I did pay some back, but I could not get advice as to what I should do about the rest. Although I talked to Michael Pownall and others I did not really get the advice that I think some other people were given at that time. But anyway, that is all water under the bridge and I have suffered from it. As a lot of you will know, I have been extremely busy. I have been leader of Essex County Council and very active indeed here, sometimes speaking and being involved in the House every day of the working week. In fact, with hindsight I was doing too much, hence that is a lot of the problem. But suddenly it stopped and on 5 February 2010 I ceased everything. It was an extraordinary wrench for me, having been extremely busy and extremely active, to have nothing at all. Really, I would like to try to get back to doing some work again. I think I have got a bit to offer and I would like to get back and involved again. As regards my problems here, I have not involved any other person. I have not ever given a false address. I have not forged any documents. I think the judge in the trial did say a lot about that. Of course, I had the shortest sentence of any of the parliamentary expenses cases. I do not want to mention any names, but Michael Pownall said my case was very similar to Lord Clark’s, and he did not go through a lot of the things that I had to go through. I have used my time in prison very profitably. I used it quite a bit as almost research. I interviewed a lot of people and have learnt a lot about it. I think I have a lot to offer now on prison reform and rehabilitation of prisoners. I used it as a bit of a project and found it very worthwhile. I would like to speak and be involved in that. I would like to get back to work again. I have been sent to prison and I had a nine-month sentence. Automatic release applies after half the sentence and the four and a half months finishes in two weeks, but the nine months finishes in March 2012. I would like not to be punished twice. I understand in the recommendation that perhaps I should not be able to participate
1640
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
2011
again until March, but I hope I could participate again in March, because I think I have a lot to offer and I would like to get back to it and get some work going again for myself. That is part of my own rehabilitation. That is what I would like to say, really. Q2 The Chairman: Thank you, Lord Hanningfield. I have a couple of questions to start with before I throw it open to the rest of the Committee. You say in your appeal that you agree that the money wrongly claimed by you must be repaid. Can you confirm on the record therefore that you accept the Commissioner’s findings that you wrongfully claimed £30,254.50 in night subsistence? Lord Hanningfield: Yes, I confirm that and accept that I will repay that. I expect that I will definitely repay that before I participate in the House again. I would guarantee that. Q3 The Chairman: Thank you, that is exactly what I was going to ask next, that you confirm that you will repay that money before you seek to come back to the House. Can I just confirm another thing? You were released, I think, on 2 September from prison. Lord Hanningfield: 8 September. The Chairman: 8 September. And you have not attended the House, apart from today, since that date. Lord Hanningfield: No, I have absented myself from the House since the trial, in fact, or just before the trial. The Chairman: Thank you. That is all the questions I have got. Has anybody else got any questions for Lord Hanningfield? Q4 Lord Scott of Foscote: Lord Hanningfield, what are your proposals for repayment? What is the period of time that you are contemplating is necessary for that purpose? Lord Hanningfield: I will have to make some arrangements. I wanted to see what the result of today is. I will have to make some arrangements for remortgaging my house, but I can do that and I will pay it. As I said, I would like to be back here in the House in March. Q5 Lord Scott of Foscote: Are you proposing to repay it before March? Lord Hanningfield: I am anticipating repaying it before March—before Christmas if I can, but certainly before March. The Chairman: I think Lord Hanningfield did say that he would repay the money before he came back to the House. Q6 Lord Scott of Foscote: I think the debts are about three years old now, aren’t they? 2008, I think? Lord Hanningfield: Yes, I think I can make it clear that I used that money to pay staff. I did not make any money out of it. I think I did show at my trial that I spent a lot more than I claimed, but I do not really want to go through the trial again. I made mistakes, which I apologise for, and I am quite prepared to apologise to the House. I did not think I was claiming wrongly. I thought we could vary it. I had staff. I have not made any profit out of it. Q7 Lord Scott of Foscote: I am sure everybody accepts your intention to repay, but sometimes intentions get— Lord Hanningfield: I would accept, as I repeat, that I cannot participate in the House again until I have repaid it.
2011
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
1641
Q8 Lord Scott of Foscote: The debts are three years’ old. I think that debts become statute barred after six years in the absence of a written acknowledgement of the debt. Lord Hanningfield: I see. Well, I am quite happy to acknowledge the debt. I have to make some arrangement, I think, with the court about my debts. I have put this approximate amount into that with the court. There is a hearing about that. Once we have agreed the figure, it will be given to the court and I will guarantee to pay it back. The Chairman: Any other questions for Lord Hanningfield? In that case, thank you very much, Lord Hanningfield, for coming. We hope to publish our report setting out our conclusions and recommendations to the House later this week. The Clerk of the Committee, Chris Johnson, will be in touch to make arrangements for providing you with an embargoed copy of the report, if necessary by email, an hour or two before publication. Thank you for coming to talk to us. Lord Hanningfield: Thank you, thank you all. APPENDIX 6: CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN LORD HANNINGFIELD, LORD HANNINGFIELD’S SOLICITOR, THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES AND THE COMMISSIONER FOR STANDARDS Letter from Paul Kernaghan, House of Lords Commissioner for Standards, to Lord Hanningfield, dated 22 July 2011 I write to advise you that in my role as the House of Lords’ Commissioner for Standards, I have instituted an investigation into your conduct, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 103 of the ‘Code of Conduct for Members of the House of Lords and Guide to the Code of Conduct’. I enclose a copy of that document for ease of reference. No third party complaint was received against you but in a submission [27/6/11] to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct, I highlighted the fact that you had been convicted on six charges of false accounting arising out of claims made under the Members’ Reimbursement Scheme. Thus, prima facie evidence existed that you had breached the Code of Conduct. The Sub-Committee granted their agreement to my proposed investigation on 14/7/11 but I have delayed action until your appeal was dismissed. My investigative remit is limited to matters which occurred within four years of a complaint/investigation being instituted. Thus, in your case I have decided the relevant period commenced on 1/7/07, four years prior to your sentencing. I note that on 26/5/11 you were convicted at Southwark Crown Court, of six counts of false accounting [Section 17 [I] [b], Theft Act 1968] and were subsequently sentenced on 1/7/11. I attach for your information a copy of Mr Justice Saunders' sentencing remarks together with copies of the six claims forms and associated counts of indictment. However, as mentioned in the preceding paragraph, my remit is limited to the four claims which formed the basis of counts 3 – 6. You naturally may wish to address other claims you submitted but that is a matter for you. I reiterate that my investigation will focus on the claims submitted on 26/2/08, 23/5/08, 1/7/08 and 1/4/09. I would be interested to know if you have repaid any of the amounts falsely claimed on those four dates and any plans you have to repay outstanding sums, if any.

The convictions indicate that you failed to always act on your personal honour and specifically failed to act in accordance with the rules agreed by the House in respect of financial support for Members. I now invite you to respond in writing with a full and accurate account of the matters in question. I am conscious of your health issues as highlighted by Mr Justice Saunders and would be prepared to visit you for a face to face meeting, if that would assist. I am of the view that speedy resolution of the allegation that you have breached the Code of Conduct is in everyone’s interest; therefore I would welcome an initial response from you by 19/8/11. In the absence of such a response I will proceed to draft my report. Letter from the Commissioner for Standards to Lord Hanningfield, dated 23 August 2011 Firstly, can I thank you for meeting with Judith Brooke and myself last Tuesday. I found the meeting extremely useful. In particular, I noted that you accepted you had breached the Code of Conduct in respect of the obligations to act on your personal honour and in accordance with the rules related to financial support. I advised you that I would be submitting a report to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct, setting out my findings in respect of your breaches and incorporating your admissions. I undertook to share issues of fact with you, allowing you to comment on them, prior to submitting my finalised report. In your case because of the open and frank approach you adopted, the only relevant issues of fact relate to the quantum of claims submitted in contravention of the rules agreed by the House in respect of financial support for Members. In my letter to you dated 22/7/11, I advised that my investigatory remit covered the four year period commencing on 1/7/07. I have carefully reviewed your claims history covering the period 1/7/07 – 30/6/11 and have come up with the following analysis: Draft Facts – Financial Support Analysis I attach at Appendix ‘A’, 1 copies of all expenses forms submitted by you in respect of the period July 2007 and April 2009. You submitted three cheques to the Finance Department, all dated 9/12/09, for £154.50, 809.50 and £836.00. Your covering letter dated 8/12/09, states that you reviewed some of your claims and ‘enclose three separate cheques by way of reimbursement which reflect unwitting errors where I incorrectly filled in the Night Subsistence column on the claim forms. These errors are detailed below and the specific claims are withdrawn. I do sincerely apologise for these mistakes, which were all made genuinely inadvertently.’ The three cheques referred to claims made in respect of the dates and amounts shown below. 04 July 2006 Claim 154.50 – refunded by cheque £154.50 24 May 2007 Claim 159.50 07 June 2007 Claim £159.50 02 July 2007 Claim £159.50 23 January 2008 Claim £165.50 25 February 2008 Claim £165.50 – refunded by cheque £809.50 1

22 May 2008 Claim £165.50 17 June 2008 Claim £165.50 30 June 2008 Claim 165.50 09 July 2008 Claim £165.50 14 January 2009 Claim £174 – refunded by cheque £836.00 On the basis of our interview and crucially the transcript of your trial, it is my understanding that you had no entitlement to make any ‘Night Subsistence’ claim in the period between 1/7/07 and 30/06/11. I further question whether any of the associated travel claims are legitimate, as they are obviously linked to and support the ‘Night Subsistence’ claims. I note that you made no claims for overnight subsistence after April 2009. You did continue to make travel claims but these were primarily via the House of Lords Credit Card and payment was thus effectively direct to the service provider. I further note that you submitted attendance claims [April 2011 – 5 days, May 2011 – 2 days = £2,100] which have not been paid to date and thus constitute a credit in your favour. In essence, it appears that you made false claims for: Night Subsistence:
£30,254.50
Travel:
£2,808.00
Total of claims:
£33,062.50
Minus repayment of £1800:
£31,262.50
Minus outstanding claims of £2,100:
£29,162.50
I now invite you to comment on my analysis, to highlight any errors or omissions and to supply additional factual information which seems relevant to you. I should stress that it is not my role to recover funds however, the record shows that the SubCommittee has in the past considered the quantum in similar cases, and has taken into account what repayments or repayment plans have been agreed. I would appreciate a response by 31/8/11, as I hope to submit my report to the SubCommittee on 1/9/11. I recall your expressed wish to have this matter finalised as soon as possible, with a view to resuming your work in the House of Lords. Letter from the Commissioner for Standards to Lord Hanningfield, dated 1 September 2011 My letter to you dated 23/8/11 refers. I am grateful for your three subsequent telephone calls [30/8/11, 31/8/11 & 1/9/11] to Judith Brooke and myself, in which you accepted and agreed my analysis in respect of your ‘Night Subsistence’ claims. Namely, that you falsely claimed £30,254.50 without any basis in fact. However, you felt that my analysis wasn’t correct in respect of your ‘Travel’ claims. You suggested that this matter had been clarified during your criminal trial and that only a very small amount was falsely claimed. I undertook to review your claim forms and the trial transcript with a view to better understanding your position.
1644
31 O c tob er APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 9 th Report 2010 -12
2011
I have to advise you that I do not believe a clear and agreed picture emerged during either your examination in chief, or in cross examination. For example, Ms Montgomery QC focussed on a travel claim submitted in respect of 31 March 2006. The forms shows you claimed to have travelled from London to Chelmsford but it was pointed out that you in fact spent the entire day in Essex. Your answer to Ms Montgomery’s challenging questions was that, ‘Because you, because you can, on all the forms that, you know, the thing I remember, that you can average out your; that is what I also thought about, you know, costs of flats and things, that you could attribute that to other things; that you could average out your costs...’ I would suggest that your defence was essentially that you were somewhat cavalier when filling in the claim forms, not spending enough time when doing so, nor seeking to reconcile your diary, travel receipts and any other supporting documentation with the claims you made. It may be that in practice you deliberately under-claimed travel costs to accord with your Night Subsistence claims. Your criminal trial is over but I feel the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct will want to know the quantum of all expenses falsely claimed. You have, as highlighted above, very openly accepted that your claims for ‘Night Subsistence’ were all unjustified. I would invite you now to provide a clear statement of which travel claims were justified by reason of the fact that you did, indeed, undertake the actual journeys mentioned on the claim forms. I must be very clear that I am currently looking to you for a full and accurate account of what travel claims you legitimately submitted [i.e. the claim form reflects your actual movements and travel expenditure] and which did not accord with the reality on the relevant dates. I am conscious that you hope to be released from prison shortly and therefore I am prepared to allow you a realistic period of time in which to prepare a response. Please respond to me by 19/9/11. I reiterate my desire to submit my report to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct as soon as possible and I know you are equally keen to regularise your position with the House. Letter from the Chairman of Committees to Lord Hanningfield, dated 2 September 2011 I am writing in connection with your conviction earlier this year at Chelmsford Crown Court on six counts of false accounting relating to claims you made under the former Members’ Reimbursement Scheme. As you know, the House of Lords Commissioner for Standards is currently investigating your conduct and will make a report to the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct in due course. If you are found to have breached the Code of Conduct, the Sub-Committee may recommend that the Committee for Privileges and Conduct (which I chair) should invite the House to apply a sanction to you. You may wish to consider whether it might be more appropriate for you not to attend the House or take any other part in Parliamentary proceedings (including the tabling of written questions) until the Sub-Committee has reported. If you have any queries, please do contact the Clerk of the Parliaments on 020 7219 3181. Email from Lord Hanningfield’s solicitor, Mr Mark Spragg, to the Commissioner for Standards, dated 29 September 2011 Following my telephone conversation with Emily [Clerk to the Commissioner] I have attached some research that we undertook during his recent criminal trial.

It was said by the prosecution that his travelling expenses were fictitious and he had not actually incurred any expenses and had therefore been reimbursed improperly. What we produced for each of the six counts, based on examination of his bank and credit card statements, was evidence of actual travel expenses incurred. These expenses were cross referenced to the records kept by the Essex County Council drivers so there was no record of them having driven Lord Hanningfield on the days in question. The six counts relate to six random months in a three year period. We are certain that an analysis of the other months will also show that Lord Hanningfield incurred personal expenditure on travel. It would take many hours to examine the bank records and driver records for each of 36 months to produce a finite record of travel expenses incurred but we would be confident there would be many. I hope this is helpful. Do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further details.

PRIVILEGES AND CONDUCT COMMITTEE - 10TH REPORT 2010-12 THE GUIDE TO THE CODE OF CONDUCT
1.

3.
Introduction Paragraph 25 of the Code of Conduct states that the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct “keeps the Guide to the Code of Conduct under regular review.” It further provides that “recommended changes are reported to the House and will not take effect until agreed by the House.” The Sub-Committee has accordingly reviewed the Guide to the Code of Conduct and proposed certain changes. These are explained in the Sub-Committee’s report to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct, which is reproduced in the Appendix to this Report. We have also proposed one additional technical change, to paragraph 100 of the Guide. We recommend the amendments to the Guide to the Code of Conduct set out below to the House. Proposed amendments to the Guide to the Code of Conduct Signing the undertaking to abide by the Code of Conduct In paragraph 6, line 3, after “Member” insert “who has taken the oath but”. Openness Paragraph 8, at end insert: “In addition to the specific rules on registration and declaration of interests, there is a more general obligation upon Members to bear in mind the underlying purpose of the Code as set out in paragraph 3(b), namely, to provide “openness and accountability.”” Printing the Register Paragraph 43, leave out “The Register of Lords’ Interests is printed and published in book form soon after the beginning of a new Parliament, and annually thereafter. As part of the preparation for the annual reprinting of the Register as a book,” and insert “Once a year” Paragraph 44, leave out “Because the Register in book form goes quickly out of date,” Paragraph 45, leave out “in book form” Directorships Paragraph 46, at end insert “Members must register under this category the precise source of each individual payment made in relation to any directorship and the nature of the work carried on in return for that payment, except where disclosure of the information would be contrary to any established professional duty of privacy or confidentiality.”

Shareholdings Paragraph 65, at end insert “Holdings of UK and other governments’ stock, gilts, bonds, premium bonds, national savings, and the like are not registrable.” Members’ Reimbursement Scheme Paragraph 100, leave out “relating to the scheme are set out in the General guide to the Members’ reimbursement scheme” and insert “are set out in the Guide to financial support for Members” Paragraph 100, leave out footnote 5 and insert a new footnote 5 “The Guide relates to the new system of financial support for Members with effect from 1 October 2010.” APPENDIX: REPORT FROM THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON LORDS’ CONDUCT 1. The Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct is required to keep the Guide to the Code of Conduct under regular review, and to recommend any necessary amendments to the Guide to the House. Category 1 (directorships) 2. Some Members of the House have established themselves as companies through which they channel their earnings. They are required at present only to state the fact of their chairmanship/directorship of the company. They are not required to state the names of the persons who pay them or the nature of the work undertaken (except public affairs advice: category 3). The sources of income of the company can vary widely, e.g. consultancy/advisory work, business services, speaking engagements, books, broadcasting. There is no requirement to disclose the clients of the Member’s company, and few do so: some Members with their own companies invoke commercial confidentiality in this regard. 3. There have been objections that Members who set themselves up as companies thereby avoid the requirement to make the full disclosures that have to be made under category 2 (remunerated employment). Category 2 requires each source of remunerated employment to be registered. So in category 2 a Member registers a large number of individually remunerated employments by name (e.g. journalist, professor, consultant to the Sultan of X, adviser to the government of Y, etc). This is more informative than registering the bare fact that the Member receives income from a company that they have set up as a channel for unspecified earnings from unspecified sources. 4. The Sub-Committee recommends that Members must in future register under category 1 the precise source of each individual payment made in relation to any directorship and the nature of the work carried on in return for that payment. Members should not however be required to register the name and address of the person, organisation or company making the payment where disclosure of the information would be contrary to any established professional duty of privacy or confidentiality.

Category 4(b) (shareholdings) 5. The Sub-Committee recommends that the guide to the Code be amended to make clear that holdings of UK and other governments’ stock, gilts, bonds, premium bonds, national savings etc are not registrable interests. Signing the book 6. The Sub-Committee recommends an amendment to the guide to the Code to clarify the situation when a Member has failed to sign the book in which Members undertake to obey the Code. The relevant paragraph of the guide is paragraph 6 which should be amended as follows (new words in italics): “In accordance with paragraph 5 of the Code of Conduct, Members are required to sign an undertaking to abide by the Code as part of the ceremony of taking the oath upon introduction and at the start of each Parliament. A Member who has taken the oath but who has not signed the undertaking is therefore deemed to have breached the Code, and it will be for the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct to consider an appropriate sanction.” General 7. The Sub-Committee believes that Members, in considering what interests they need to register, must bear in mind the purpose of registration, namely, openness. The Sub-Committee therefore recommends that paragraph 8 of the guide to the Code be amended as follows (new words in italics): “The Code of Conduct has been agreed by resolution of the House, with a view to providing guidance for Members and the public as to the standards of conduct the House expects of its Members in the discharge of their parliamentary duties. But a written Code can never cover every eventuality. Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b) of the Code, taken together, mean that Members are required not only to obey the letter of the rules, but to act in accordance with the spirit of those rules and the sense of the House. In addition to the specific rules on registration and declaration of interests, there is a more general obligation upon Members to bear in mind the underlying purpose of the Code as set out in paragraph 3(b), namely, to provide “openness and accountability.” Publication of Register of Lords’ Interests 8. The Register of Lords’ Interests is no longer published in book form. The SubCommittee recommends that paragraphs 43-45 of the guide to the Code be amended accordingly. 31October

Introduction The report of the Leader’s Group on Working Practices was published on 26 April 2011. 1 The House debated the report on 27 June 2011. 2 The Leader of the House and, at his request, the Clerk of the Parliaments, have put forward a number of initial proposals drawing on the Group’s recommendations to this Committee, inviting us to put them to the House for decision. In this report we present these proposals to the House. In so doing, we do not express a view on the merits of the proposals themselves—they have been the subject of detailed consideration by the Leader’s Group, and have already been debated fully. We should make clear that not all members of the Committee, including the Leader of the House, support all of the proposals in this report. But we do agree that it is time for the House itself to decide whether or not to adopt some or all of them. We have, at the suggestion of the Leader of the House or the Clerk of the Parliaments, agreed to propose variations of the Group’s proposals in certain respects. In so doing, we have sought to put forward clear, workable proposals, while achieving the objectives underlying the original recommendations. Members of the House may wish to table amendments to the proposals or seek to reject them outright. In order to facilitate the tabling of amendments, we have put forward the proposals neutrally, and in a numbered sequence. The proposals will be tabled as separate motions on the order paper, allowing Members of the House to table amendments, and allowing the House itself to decide on each proposal in turn. We understand that discussions about other recommendations of the Leader’s group are ongoing in the Usual Channels.

The role of the Lord Speaker at question time and during oral statements Recommendations 1 and 12 of the Leader’s Group were as follows: 1. We recommend that consideration be given to conferring upon the Lord Speaker the role currently performed during question time by the Leader of the House, for a one-year trial period in the first instance, beginning no sooner than 5 September 2011. In the event of the Lord Speaker’s unavoidable absence from the House, we recommend that the same task be performed by the Chairman of Committees. 12. We recommend that consideration be given to conferring upon the Lord Speaker the role currently performed during oral statements by the Leader of the House or the Government front bench, for a one-year trial period in the first instance, beginning no sooner than 5 September 2011. In the event of the Lord Speaker’s unavoidable absence from the House, this task would be performed by the Chairman of Committees or by another Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the House has invited the Committee to put these recommendations to the House. We have agreed to do so, with certain modifications. We therefore put the following proposal before the House for decision. Proposal 1 That the role currently performed by the Leader of the House or Government front bench during oral questions and oral statements be transferred for a trial period to the Lord Speaker, or, in her absence, the Chairman of Committees or another Deputy Speaker; That the role thus transferred includes the responsibility to arbitrate between groups within the House, but not any responsibility to arbitrate between individual members by name; That the trial begin at the start of the 2012–13 session of Parliament, and continue until the start of the summer recess 2012; That following the completion of the trial, the procedure at question time and during oral statements should revert to its current form, pending a review by the Procedure Committee.

Question time for Secretaries of State Recommendation 2 of the Leader’s Group was as follows: 2. We recommend that the procedure adopted in early 2010, whereby Secretaries of State sitting in the Lords should answer three oral questions, on one Thursday each month, directed to them in their ministerial capacity, should be made permanent, with a view to its revival as appropriate. We put this proposal before the House with only one proviso, namely that the ballot for such questions would, in accordance with the practice agreed in April 2011, 1 take place at 1 pm, rather than 2 pm, as stated in paragraph 6.33 of the Companion.
Procedure Committee, 4th Report, 2010–12 (HL Paper 127), agreed 28 April 2011.

Proposal 2 That the procedure adopted in early 2010, whereby Secretaries of State sitting in the Lords should answer three oral questions, on one Thursday each month, directed to them in their ministerial capacity, should be made permanent, with a view to its revival as appropriate. 10.
11.
Reading out oral questions Recommendation 5 of the Leader’s Group was as follows: We recommend that instead of Members seeking leave to ask the questions “standing in their name on the Order Paper”, Members should read out the text of the question, using the formula “My Lords, I beg leave to ask Her Majesty’s Government ....” To ensure that this does not take up too much time, we further recommend a mandatory limit of 40 words for oral questions (excluding the introductory formula given above). Analysis of recent oral questions shows that the average length of such questions, excluding the introductory formula, is between 21 and 23 words. The Leader of the House has accordingly invited us to put this proposal before the House, with the modification that he suggests a shorter word limit, closer to the current average, of 25 words. We have agreed his suggestion, and accordingly put the following proposal to the House. If adopted, the proposal would take effect with respect to all questions tabled for a date four weeks or more after the House’s decision. Proposal 3 That Members should read out the text of oral questions, using the formula “My Lords, I beg leave to ask Her Majesty’s Government” followed by the text of the question; and that there should be a mandatory word limit of 25 words (excluding the introductory formula) for all oral questions.
12.
Saving time: oral questions Recommendations 6 and 7 of the Leader’s Group were as follows: To ensure best use of question time, we re-affirm the existing guidance in the Companion on the conduct of question time, while recommending that it be supplemented by the following guidance, based on that already found in the Guide to the Code of Conduct: •
Members should not take up the time of the House making trivial declarations of non-financial and non-registrable interests.
Finally, we recommend the addition of the following new guidance in the Companion: •
13.
Questioners should not thank the Government for its answers, nor ministers thank questioners for their questions.
If agreed by the House, this new guidance would be added as a new paragraph, following paragraph 6.28 of the Companion.

Proposal 4 That the following new guidance be added to the Companion to Standing Orders: “Members should not take up the time of the House during question time by making trivial declarations of nonfinancial and non-registrable interests. Questioners should not thank the Government for its answers, nor ministers thank questioners for their questions.” 14.
15.
Oral statements Recommendations 8 and 10 of the Leader’s Group were as follows: We recommend that the usual channels should, in deciding whether to repeat a statement in the Lords, also consider whether it would be a good use of the House’s time for the statement to be read out. In exceptional cases (for instance a long statement, which has been publicly available for some hours) it may be appropriate for the text of the statement to be reproduced in the Official Report without being read out; the remaining oral exchanges would take place in the Chamber as at present. We recommend that the guidance on backbench contributions on oral statements be clarified, by removing the reference to ‘brief comments’. To avoid speech-making, and with a view to increasing the number of Members who can intervene on statements, we recommend that backbench contributions should be limited to questions to the minister. The Leader of the House has made a proposal which broadly reflects this recommendation, and which we accordingly put before the House for decision. Proposal 5 That where a statement of exceptional length has been made in full to the House of Commons and made available in the Printed Paper Office before it is due to be repeated in the House of Lords, the Minister in the Lords may (with the agreement of the usual channels) draw the attention of the House to the statement made earlier without repeating it; and proceed immediately to the period for exchanges with the Opposition front benches. The text of the statement would be reproduced in the Official Report. That the guidance in the Companion on backbench contributions on oral statements should be amended, to indicate that “ministerial statements are made for the information of the House, and although brief questions from all quarters of the House are allowed, statements should not be made the occasion for an immediate debate.”
16.
Questions for Short Debate Recommendations 33 and 38 of the Leader’s Group were as follows: We recommend that Members be limited to one Question for Short Debate in House of Lords Business at any one time. We further recommend that each Question for Short Debate should indicate the date on which it was tabled; after six months it should be removed from the list. We recommend that the guidance in the Companion on the wording of Questions for Short Debate should be clarified as follows: “Questions for
2011
17.
1 No vemb e r APPENDIX : Procedur e Co mmittee - 8 th Repor t 2010-12
1667
short debate last for a maximum of 1½ hours and should therefore be limited in scope.” These recommendations, if agreed to, would have a significant impact not only upon the tabling of Questions for Short Debate but the arrangements for their tabling. We therefore consider that any changes should come into effect only at the start of the 2012–13 session of Parliament. Proposal 6 That, with effect from the start of the 2012–13 session of Parliament:
18.
19.
20.
•
Members be limited to one Question for Short Debate in House of Lords Business at any one time;
•
Each Question for Short Debate should indicate the date on which it was tabled;
•
After six months it should be removed from the list.
•
The guidance in the Companion on the wording of Questions for Short Debate should be as follows: “Questions for short debate last for a maximum of 1½ hours and should therefore be limited in scope.”
Simpler language Recommendations 39, 40 and 41 of the Leader’s Group’s were as follows: We recommend that the next edition of the Companion incorporate guidance confirming that the House of Commons may be referred to by name rather than as “the other place”. We recommend that the current convention on appellations be discontinued. Instead, we recommend that Members should refer to other Members by title (“Baroness xxx”, “Lord xxx”, “the Bishop of xxx”); where Members do not know or choose not to use the title, they should refer simply to “the noble Lord”, “the noble Baroness”, “the right reverend Bishop” or “the minister”. Members of the same party or group could still be referred to as “my noble friend”. We recommend that the practice of debating “motions for papers” be discontinued, and that in future all general debates not inviting the House to reach a positive decision take place on “take note” motions. The first and third of these recommendations are straightforward, and present no procedural difficulty. The same principles already apply to the wording of “take note” motions as to “motions for papers” (namely that they should be “short and neutrally phrased”), as does the custom that “no amendments are tabled to such motions”. The only difference in practice is that at the end of the debate a “take note” motion is agreed to rather than being withdrawn. The Clerk of the Parliaments has proposed certain changes to the second recommendation, on appellations, with a view to bringing forward simplified system of appellations which would cover all cases. He suggests that, if the House decides to adopt this recommendation, the following appellations would cover all cases where a Member of the House was being referred to by rank, rather than by name: •
The noble Lord
•
The noble Lady
•
The noble Duke
1668

•
2011
The right reverend Bishop
• The most reverend Archbishop Where a Member wishes to refer to another Member by name, the following simplified forms could be used:
21.
22.
•
Lord V
•
Lady W
•
The Duke of X
•
The Bishop of Y
•
The Archbishop of Z
Adoption of these simplified appellations would be voluntary. It would thus not preclude Members from referring to individual Members by their specific title or name—for example, referring to the “noble Earl”, or “the Marquess of X”. In addition, those referring to other Members by name would still be expected to use the correct title in those circumstances where the form “Lord X” would be incorrect—for instance, “the Duke of X”, not “Lord X”. If these changes are agreed by the House, we propose that the following new guidance on appellations would replace paragraph 4.48 of the Companion to Standing Orders: “Members should address the House as a whole, and they should never use the second person when addressing other Members in debate. A Member may refer to any other Member, without specifying his or her title, as “the noble Lord”, “the noble Lady”, “the noble Duke”, “the right reverend Bishop” or “the most reverend Archbishop”. Members may also, if they so wish, use the appropriate rank—for example “the noble Earl” or “the noble Baroness”—but there is no obligation to do so. When referring to another Member by name, the correct form is “Lord W”, “Lady X”, “the Duke of Y”, “the Bishop/Archbishop of Z”. Members may also use the term “my noble friend” to refer to fellow members of a political party. When referring to a Minister of the Crown, Members may refer to “the Leader of the House”, “the Minister” or “the Secretary of State”, as appropriate.” Proposal 7 That the following text be inserted prior to paragraph 4.42 of the Companion to Standing Orders: “The House of Commons may be referred to by name, rather than as ‘the other place’ or ‘another place’.” Proposal 8 That the practice of debating “motions for papers” be discontinued, and that in future all general debates not inviting the House to reach a positive decision take place on “take note” motions, which should be short, neutrally phrased and not subject to amendment.

Proposal 9 That the House adopt the following practice in respect of appellations: Members should address the House as a whole, and they should never use the second person when addressing other Members in debate. A Member may refer to any other Member, without specifying his or her title, as “the noble Lord”, “the noble Lady”, “the noble Duke”, “the right reverend Bishop” or “the most reverend Archbishop”. Members may also, if they so wish, use the appropriate rank—for example “the noble Earl” or “the noble Baroness”—but there is no obligation to do so. When referring to another Member by name, the correct form is “Lord W”, “Lady X”, “the Duke of Y”, “the Bishop/Archbishop of Z”. Members may also use the term “my noble friend” to refer to fellow members of a political party. When referring to a Minister of the Crown, Members may refer to “the Leader of the House”, “the Minister” or “the Secretary of State”, as appropriate. 23.

Public petitions Recommendation 43 of the Leader’s Group was as follows: We recommend the abolition of the procedure for public petitions to the House of Lords, which is archaic and has fallen into disuse. We consider that in the longer term it may be desirable to introduce a more effective procedure for public initiation of business in the House of Lords, but, in view of recent developments in the Commons, we make no recommendation in that regard. The Group’s recommendation was made in April, and has to some extent been overtaken by more recent events. On 13 September 2011 a public petition on welfare reform was presented by Lord Touhig, on behalf of Community Housing Cymru—the first public petition to be presented to the House of Lords since December 2000. Moreover, in the House of Commons the Backbench Business Committee has scheduled three debates on topics raised the Government’s e-petitions website; 1 these debates have been widely reported in the media. In light of these developments, we do not consider that the Group’s recommendation should be taken forward at this time, and we therefore make no proposal to the House.

11 Procedure of the House (Proposal 2) The Chairman of Committees moved to resolve that the procedure adopted in early 2010, whereby Secretaries of State sitting in the House should answer three oral questions, on one Thursday each month, directed to them in their ministerial capacity, should be made permanent, with a view to its revival as appropriate. Then Lord Williamson of Horton moved, as an amendment to the original motion, at end to insert “, except that the time allocated for the three oral questions should be up to 20 minutes in total instead of up to 15 minutes.” After debate, the amendment was agreed to. Then the original motion, as amended, was agreed to. 12 Procedure of the House (Proposal 3) The Chairman of Committees moved to resolve that Members should read out the text of oral questions, using the formula “My Lords, I beg leave to ask Her Majesty’s Government” followed by the text of the question; and that there should be a mandatory word limit of 25 words (excluding the introductory formula) for all oral questions. After debate, the motion was disagreed to. 13 Procedure of the House (Proposal 4) The Chairman of Committees moved to resolve that the following new guidance be added to the Companion to the Standing Orders: “Members should not take up the time of the House during question time by making trivial declarations of non-financial and non-registrable interests. Questioners should not thank the Government for its answers, nor ministers thank questioners for their questions.” After debate, the motion was agreed to. 14 Procedure of the House (Proposal 5) The Chairman of Committees moved to resolve that where a statement of exceptional length has been made in full to the House of Commons and made available in the Printed Paper Office before it is due to be repeated in this House, the Minister in this House may (with the agreement of the usual channels) draw the attention of the House to the statement made earlier without repeating it; and proceed immediately to the period for exchanges with the Opposition front benches; That the text of the statement should be reproduced in the Official Report; That the guidance in the Companion to the Standing Orders on backbench contributions on oral statements should be amended, to indicate that “ministerial statements are made for the information of the House, and although brief questions from all quarters of the House are allowed, statements should not be made the occasion for an immediate debate.” After debate, the motion was agreed to. 15 Procedure of the House (Proposal 6) The Chairman of Committees moved to resolve that, with effect from the start of the 2012–13 session of Parliament: •
Members be limited to one Question for Short Debate in House of Lords Business at any one time;
•
Each Question for Short Debate should indicate the date on which it was tabled;
•
After six months it should be removed from the list;
•
The guidance in the Companion to the Standing Orders on the wording of Questions for Short Debate should be as follows: “Questions for short debate last for a maximum of 1½ hours and should therefore be limited in scope.”
The motion was agreed to. 16 Procedure of the House (Proposal 7) The Chairman of Committees moved to resolve that the following text be inserted prior to paragraph 4.42 of the Companion to the Standing Orders: “The House of Commons may be referred to by name, rather than as ’the other place’ or ’another place’.” The motion was agreed to. 17 Procedure of the House (Proposal 8) The Chairman of Committees moved to resolve that the practice of debating “motions for papers” be discontinued, and that in future all general debates not inviting the House to reach a positive decision should take place on “take note” motions, which should be short, neutrally phrased and not subject to amendment. The motion was agreed to.

18 Procedure of the House (Proposal 9) The Chairman of Committees moved to resolve that the House adopt the following practice in respect of appellations: Members should address the House as a whole, and they should never use the second person when addressing other Members in debate. A Member may refer to any other Member, without specifying his or her title, as “the noble Lord”, “the noble Lady”, “the noble Duke”, “the right reverend Bishop” or “the most reverend Archbishop”. Members may also, if they so wish, use the appropriate rank—for example “the noble Earl” or “the noble Baroness"—but there is no obligation to do so. When referring to another Member by name, the correct form is “Lord W”, “Lady X”, “the Duke of Y”, “the Bishop/Archbishop of Z”. Members may also use the term “my noble friend” to refer to fellow members of a political party. When referring to a Minister of the Crown, Members may refer to “the Leader of the House”, “the Minister” or “the Secretary of State”, as appropriate. After debate, the House divided. The numbers were equal (see division list 2), so the motion was disagreed to in accordance with Standing Order 56. 19 Protection of Freedoms Bill Lord Henley moved that the bill be now read a second time. After debate, the motion was agreed to. 20 Protection of Freedoms Bill Lord Henley moved that (a) the following provisions of the Protection of Freedoms Bill be committed to a Committee of the Whole House— (i) Clauses 1 to 25 (destruction, retention and use of fingerprints etc.); (ii) Clauses 54 to 56 (vehicles left on land); (iii) Clauses 64 to 78 (safeguarding of vulnerable groups); (iv) Clauses 79 to 84 (criminal records); (v) Schedule 1 (destruction, retention and use of fingerprints etc.); (vi) Schedule 4 (recovery of unpaid parking charges); (vii) Schedule 7 (safeguarding of vulnerable groups: Northern Ireland); and (b) the remainder of the bill be committed to a Grand Committee. The motion was agreed to. 21 Protection of Freedoms Bill Lord Henley moved that it be an instruction to the Committee of the Whole House to which provisions of the Protection of Freedoms Bill have been committed that they consider those provisions in the following order: Clauses 1 to 19 Schedule 1 Clauses 20 to 25 Clauses 54 to 56
Schedule 4 Clauses 64 to 78 Schedule 7 Clauses 79 to 84.
The motion was agreed to. 22 Protection of Freedoms Bill Lord Henley moved that it be an instruction to the Grand Committee to which provisions of the Protection of Freedoms Bill have been committed that they consider those provisions in the following order: Clauses 26 to 39 Schedule 2 Clauses 40 to 53 Schedule 3 Clauses 57 to 61 Schedule 5 Clauses 62 and 63
Schedule 6 Clause 85 Schedule 8 Clauses 86 to 109 Schedules 9 and 10 Clauses 110 to 115.
The motion was agreed to. The House adjourned at 9.33pm until Wednesday 9 November at 3.00pm.

PROCEDURE COMMITTEE - 9TH REPORT 2010-12

1
Debates on motions in Grand Committee We have considered a proposal from the Clerk of the Parliaments, brought forward with the support of the usual channels, to allow general debates to be held in Grand Committee. To give effect to this change, a new subheading, “general motions for debate”, would be added to the list of categories of business that can be taken in Grand Committee given in paragraph 3.15 of the Companion to the Standing Orders. If this proposal is agreed by the House, it is expected that the first such debate will be held on 1 December 2011. We also take this opportunity to clarify current practice on referring items of business to the Grand Committee. We see no good reason for business motions except when there are to be further proceedings in the House. Thus business motions are appropriate to refer bills or affirmative instruments to the Grand Committee, which in turn reports that it has considered the bill or instrument. But the use of a business motion in relation to a Committee report 1 or a take note motion, where there are no further proceedings in the House, seems to be anomalous. Business motions are already not required in the case of Questions for Short Debate, motions to consider negative instruments or national policy statements. We therefore recommend: • That “general motions for debate” be added to the list of categories of business that can be taken in Grand Committee given in paragraph 3.15 of the Companion to the Standing Orders; • That such motions for debate may be taken in Grand Committee without a business motion, and that the use of business motions to refer Committee reports to Grand Committee should be discontinued.
See Companion to Standing Orders, paragraph 11.36.

Questions for Short Debate We have considered a proposal from the Clerk of the Parliaments to change the arrangements for the tabling of Questions for Short Debate (QSDs) on State Opening Day. This is against the background of difficulties encountered on State Opening day in 2010, as well as the changes in practice relating to QSDs agreed by the House on 8 November 2011. 1 The Clerk of the Parliaments’ proposal echoes recommendation 35 of the Leader’s Group on Working Practices: 186. We recommend that a ballot, on the day of State Opening, should be conducted to determine the order of priority of those Questions for Short Debate tabled at the start of the session. We support this change, and accordingly recommend that a ballot should be conducted to determine the order in which QSDs tabled on the day of State Opening are entered in House of Lords Business. The Clerk of the Parliaments also informed us that the Table Office will separately be reviewing the practical arrangements for tabling business on the day of State Opening, with a view to improving seating and reducing the amount of time Members have to spend queuing. Standing Order 37 On 8 November the House agreed that the practice of debating ‘motions for papers’ be discontinued, and that in future all general debates not inviting the House to reach a positive decision should take place on ‘take note’ motions. 2 This requires a technical change to Standing Order 37, which currently presupposes that any motion for debate which is time-limited will be withdrawn at the end of the debate, whereas take note motions are always agreed to. We therefore recommend the following amendment to Standing Order 37 (new text bold and text to be deleted struck through): 37—(1) If a balloted debate or a time-limited debate is continuing at the end of the time allotted to it, the Clerk at the Table shall rise and thereupon the Lord Speaker shall either put the Question forthwith or ask the mover of the Motion whether or not he wishes to withdraw his Motion it. If the mover does not ask leave to withdraw, or if leave to withdraw is refused, the Lord Speaker shall put the Question forthwith. (2) If an amendment is moved to a Motion which is the subject of a balloted debate or a time-limited debate, paragraph (1) shall have effect in relation to the amendment in like manner as it has in relation to the original Motion.

APPENDIX:
HOUSE COMMITTEE - 2ND REPORT 2010-12 RECOVERY OF MONEY WRONGLY CLAIMED BY MEMBERS 1. We have considered what action should be taken when a Member is found by the House (in the form of agreement to a finding to this effect by the Committee for Privileges and Conduct) to have wrongly claimed money under the system of financial support for Members and has not already repaid that money to the House. 2. It is the responsibility of the Clerk of the Parliaments (as Accounting Officer) to secure repayment of money wrongly claimed by Members under the system of financial support, consulting this Committee as necessary. 1 3. Debt recovery through the courts is not practical in relation to such repayments. The court might well decline jurisdiction on the grounds that the debt arises from the proceedings of a Parliamentary committee. But if it did not, and the debt were not admitted, the Member could in effect obtain a rehearing of the whole issue already investigated by the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. 4. We have considered three possible courses of action in relation to helping the Clerk of the Parliaments to fulfil his responsibility:
• • •
Requiring a Member who has not repaid money wrongly claimed to forgo part or all of his or her attendance allowances to pay off the debt. Denying entitlement to allowances and expenses to any such Member. Suspending any such Member while the debt remains unpaid.
5. We have rejected the first and second of these options as we consider that it would be inappropriate for a Member to return to the House while still owing money. 6. We therefore propose the following arrangement where a Member is found by the House (in the form of agreement to a finding to this effect by the Committee for Privileges and Conduct) to have wrongly claimed money under the system of financial support for Members and has not repaid that money to the House by one month before the end of any period of suspension agreed by the House. In such circumstances the Chairman of Committees, on behalf of the House Committee, should move a motion to suspend that Member until the debt has been repaid or the end of the current Parliament, whichever is sooner (as the power of the House to suspend a Member is limited to a defined period not extending beyond the end of the current Parliament). 2 If money remains outstanding at the start of the following Parliament, the Chairman of Committees should move a further motion to initiate a further suspension. 7. Where a Member is suspended under the provision in paragraph 6, the Clerk of the Parliaments would inform the House (by “silent” Minute entry) when the money has been fully repaid, and on the following day the suspension would come to an end. Part payment, or an arrangement to pay instalments, would not be sufficient to bring the suspension to an end. 8. The House is invited to agree to the proposals set out in paragraph 6 above. 13December 1

PRIVILEGES AND CONDUCT COMMITTEE - 11TH REPORT 2010-12 THE CONDUCT OF LORD AVEBURY 1.

3.
4. 5.
The Committee has considered a report by the Commissioner for Standards on the conduct of Lord Avebury. The report arises out of a complaint, received on 13 September 2011, regarding Lord Avebury’s entry in the Register of Lords’ Interests. The Commissioner has concluded that he is “satisfied that Lord Avebury has complied with the Code of Conduct in relation to registering relevant interests”. He has therefore dismissed the complaint. The Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct, to which, in accordance with the Guide to the Code of Conduct, the Commissioner presents his reports, notes that Lord Avebury’s entry in the Register did not disclose the fact that a partnership in which he had an indirect interest derived income from waste disposal into a landfill site. However, the Sub-Committee accepts the Commissioner’s conclusion that this did not constitute a breach of the Code of Conduct. In light of the Commissioner’s and the Sub-Committee’s conclusions, which we endorse, no further action is required. We make this Report to the House for information.

APPENDIX 1: REPORT FROM THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON LORDS’ CONDUCT Letter to the Chairman of Committees from the Chairman of the SubCommittee on Lords’ Conduct I am writing with the agreement of the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct to submit a report by the Commissioner for Standards dismissing a complaint against Lord Avebury. The complaint raised the question of whether Lord Avebury’s entries in the Register of Lords’ Interests were sufficient to disclose the full nature of his business and land holdings. Lord Avebury has registered a Directorship of “CL Projects Ltd (computer hardware & software; provides management advice to Cook Lubbock & Co, a partnership in which it has a 50% interest)”. The Sub-Committee note that Lord Avebury’s entry in the Register did not disclose that Cook Lubbock & Co derives most of its income from waste disposal into a landfill site which was on land rented to it by Lord Avebury and described as “arable” in the Register. However we accept the Commissioner’s judgement that this does not break the Code. I would like to draw your attention to paragraph 22 of the Commissioner’s report in which he supports Lord Avebury’s request that financial information should be kept confidential. 1 We would also support that request, but consider that the report should otherwise be published. Manningham-Buller 16 December 2011 APPENDIX 2: REPORT FROM THE HOUSE OF LORDS COMMISSIONER FOR STANDARDS ON THE CONDUCT OF LORD AVEBURY Introduction 1. The complainant (Mr John Cook) initially wrote to the Registrar of Lords’ Interests on 13 September 2011. 2 He highlighted his view that Lord Avebury’s “Declaration of Interests” omitted certain information and was in conflict with the obligations set out in the Code of Conduct. The Registrar acknowledged receipt and advised Mr Cook that he was forwarding his letter to the Commissioner for Standards. 2. My office wrote to the complainant on 21 September, 3 providing a copy of the Code of Conduct for Members of the House of Lords and Guide to the Code of Conduct. Mr Cook replied on 23 September, making it clear that he was making a complaint and attaching an edited version of his original letter. 4 I wrote to Mr Cook on 9 November, 5 advising him that I had decided that his complaint fell within my terms of reference and that I had requested a full and accurate account from Lord Avebury of

Lord Avebury emailed the Clerk of the Select Committee on 1 January 2012 indicating that “I have decided that in the interests of transparency I don’t want any redactions”. The Commissioner’s report is accordingly reprinted in full. 2 Annex A 3 Annex B 4 Annex C 5 Annex D

2012
the matters in question. I naturally wrote to Lord Avebury on the same date. 1 Mr Cook supplied additional information in a letter dated 22 November 2011. 2 Summary 3. In essence, Mr Cook claimed that Lord Avebury’s entry/entries in the Register of Lords’ Interests suffered from omissions. He specifically highlighted that the entry did not reveal Lord Avebury’s involvement in the waste disposal industry, was insufficiently open in relation to his sources of income and could conceivably allow Lord Avebury to pose as an environmental champion, notwithstanding his waste disposal activity. 4. I requested that Lord Avebury respond in writing with a full and accurate account of the matters in question. I drew his attention to the following sections of the 2010 Code of Conduct, which the complaint suggests may have been broken: “7. In the conduct of their parliamentary duties, Members of the House shall base their actions on consideration of the public interest, and shall resolve any conflict between their personal interest and the public interest at once, and in favour of the public interest. 8. Members of the House: (a) must comply with the Code of Conduct; (b) should always act on their personal honour ... 10. In order to assist in openness and accountability Members shall: (a) register in the Register of Interests all relevant interests, in order to make clear what are the interests that might reasonably be thought to influence their parliamentary actions ... 12. The test of relevant interest is therefore not whether a Member’s actions in Parliament will be influenced by the interest, but whether a reasonable member of the public might think that this might be the case. Relevant interests include both financial and non-financial interests.” The facts 5. Lord Avebury’s entry in the Register of Lords’ Interests is set out at Annex F. The entry is exactly as it was on 13 September, the date Mr Cook first wrote to the Registrar. 6. For the purposes of this investigation, only the entries under Categories 1, 2, 4 and 5 are relevant. 7. For ease of reference, I have set out under each Category Lord Avebury’s entry followed by Mr Cook’s observations/allegations (italicised). Category 1 Directorships CL Projects Ltd (computer hardware & software; provides management advice to Cook Lubbock & Co, a partnership in which it has a 50% interest) The entry does not mention that the partnership is a two man partnership which derives most of its income from waste disposal into a landfill site. No information on quantum of income derived from this source. It is also highlighted that the entry contains no

1891
information re expenses claimed from the limited company and any potential duplication with Parliamentary expense claims. Category 2 Remunerated employment etc. Chartered Engineer (non-practising) No mention of true remunerated employment. Category 4 Shareholdings Controlling interest in CL Projects Ltd (computer hardware & software; provides management advice to Cook Lubbock & Co, a partnership in which it has a 50% interest) Category 5 Land and property 390 acres arable land in Northamptonshire No mention that the land is fully leased to the partnership company at an annual rent of £23,716. Nor that the partnership then further leases the land to a national waste management company and is utilised for mineral extraction and waste disposal activities. 8. Mr Cook concluded his concerns by highlighting the potential for Lord Avebury to present himself as an environmental champion whilst deriving his income from the waste disposal industry. Mr Cook supposed that the entry could be construed as being tantamount to an attempt to mislead both Parliament and the general public as to Lord Avebury’s true outside interests and remuneration therefrom. Lord Avebury’s response 9. Lord Avebury initially engaged with my office on 14 September by telephone and then wrote to me on 16 September. 1 10. Lord Avebury informed me, in an effort to place Mr Cook’s complaint in context, that he and Mr Cook constituted the “two man partnership” which formerly owned Cook Lubbock & Co, mentioned in both Lord Avebury’s Register entry and also in Mr Cook’s letters. Lord Avebury further advised that the partnership is in the process of dissolution. Cook Lubbock & Co is held by limited companies and has been since 1997/98 when that structure replaced a true two man partnership. Lord Avebury states that the change came about because Mr Cook was declared bankrupt. 11. Lord Avebury openly acknowledged that Cook Lubbock derives most of its income from waste disposal into a landfill site, though he highlighted that income is also produced by electricity generation and through farm rental. 12. Lord Avebury disputes the amounts of income Mr Cook suggests he received. He also made it clear that he has no remunerated employment, received no salary and that his income is made up of farm rental payments, dividends and pensions (including the state pension). 13. Lord Avebury argued that he had not breached the Code of Conduct and specifically the seven principles set out at Paragraph 9 of the Code, as well as Paragraphs 7, 8 and 12, which I had brought to his attention in my letter (Annex E).

Analysis and findings 14. I have sought to follow the pattern established in the above Facts section, namely that I have looked at the complaint and Lord Avebury’s response category by category. Category 1 15. Lord Avebury did register his remunerated directorship(s) and gave a broad indication of the company’s business. He was not required to provide additional detail and it should be noted that Paragraph 48 of the ‘Guide to the Code of Conduct’ (the Guidance) explicitly makes it clear that the amount of remuneration is not required. 16. No evidence whatsoever was supplied in connection with Mr Cook’s assertion that there was scope to submit claims in respect of parliamentary duties to another financial sponsor. Category 2 17. Lord Avebury has discretion to register his former employment/profession. Thus his entry of Chartered Engineer (non-practising) is perfectly acceptable. He has dealt with the issue of remuneration by means of his Category 1 entry. Category 4 18. His entry meets the requirements of Category 4(a). Category 5 19. Again, Lord Avebury’s entry fulfils the requirements set out in the Guidance. Specifically, Paragraph 66 states: “Only the nature of the property and a general indication of its location should be indicated (e.g. ‘farm in Norfolk’…) the value of the property and the income received need not be registered, unless it falls under part (b).” 20. I note that Mr Cook’s letters to me both use the phrase “Declaration of Interests” but then make it clear that he is in fact talking about Lord Avebury’s entry in the Register of Lords’ Interests. My investigation deals with the registration issue. I note Mr Cook’s concerns re Lord Avebury’s involvement in the waste disposal industry and the potential scope for misrepresentation, given that there is no explicit reference to that involvement in the Register of Lords’ Interests. However, that involvement would, I suggest, properly be a matter for declaration in line with the provisions of Paragraphs 85–90 of the Guidance. Mr Cook has not claimed that Lord Avebury ever misrepresented his interests and I would expect Lord Avebury to have regard to that requirement, particularly now that such a concern has been highlighted. 21. I am satisfied that Lord Avebury has complied with the Code of Conduct in relation to registering relevant interests and thus has not breached its provisions. In accordance with Paragraph 123 of the Guidance, I dismiss the complaint. 22. I have incorporated all documentation received in to this report in an unedited form. If the Committee for Privileges and Conduct were minded to publish a report, then I would respectfully draw their attention to a verbal request from Lord Avebury that financial information should be kept confidential.

Commissioner for Standards 13 December 2011 Annex A: Letter from Mr John Cook to the Registrar of Lords’ Interests, 13 September 2011 Possible Breach of the House of Lords Code of Practice I have recently had passed to me Lord Avebury’s Declaration of Interests and I was surprised by what I perceived to be certain omissions. As a consequence I feel it is my duty to refer the matter to you as it seems to me to conflict in many respects with the “Code of Conduct” expected of members of the House of Lords. I would appreciate any help and guidance you can give me in this matter. As a matter of courtesy I have copied this letter to Lord Avebury’s Solicitors. I will set out the situation as I see it (having full regard to the “Peers Code of Conduct”) and based on Lord Avebury’s Statutory Declaration of Interests. Under the following headings he states: Directorships He declares a controlling interest in a limited company and states in brackets (computer hardware and software; provides management advice to a partnership (without further description) in which it has a 50% interest). He does not mention the fact that it is a two-man partnership which derives most of its income from waste disposal into a landfill site and of which the partnership is the beneficial owner. This is, as far as I am aware, his major source of income and in one year recently provided him with £400,000 although it probably now averages in excess of £150,000 p.a. This information is not mentioned in his declaration. Neither, at this moment in time, is it possible to ascertain that his Parliamentary claim for expenses is being in any way duplicated through the expenses claimed from his limited company. There is no evidence one way or the other. Remunerated employment, office, profession etc. He declares his profession as being an ‘Engineer’ (non-practising). No mention again of his true Remunerated employment. Land & Property He simply declares 390 acres of arable land. He makes no reference to the fact that it is fully leased by him, to the company of which he is a partner at an annual rent of £23,716 increasing with the RPI each year. He does not mention that this in turn is leased by the Partnership to a national waste management company and that it comprises a large Landfill waste site, a waste disposal operation, a recycling plant, large scale stone and mineral extraction, an energy from waste plant and other ancillary activities connected to the waste industry. This currently provides the income, I have drawn your attention to, under “Directorships” and shows his total income from the waste industry to be approaching £200,000 p.a. Relying simply on his “Statutory Declaration of Interests”, it would be difficult for anyone, to be able to discover or ascertain, that he has a substantial interest in, and, derives a massive income from, the Waste Industry. There doesn’t appear to be any clue whatsoever to this fact. Consequently from his Statutory Declaration he could conceivably, present himself as a champion of all matters environmental without

2012
anyone having the slightest suspicion of, or being able to ascertain what some may see as an apparent conflict of interest (and in the general public’s eyes, the possible hypocrisy of it). I would welcome your view, on my supposition that such a case, however one looks at it, might be construed as being tantamount to an attempt to mislead both Parliament and the general public at large as to his true outside interests. I should also add that although the waste industry is a much maligned activity, it is one that I have been proud to be associated with for over 40 years. For a Peer to hide from the general public, for whatever reason, his own connection with the industry, does a great disservice to those who strive so hard, on no more than average wages, to maintain this important Public Service. Annex B: Email from the Clerk to the Commissioner for Standards to Mr Cook, 21 September 2011 The Registrar of Lords’ Interests copied your letter dated 13 September 2011 to the Lords Commissioner for Standards (Mr Paul Kernaghan), who has noted your request for help and guidance. He has asked me to forward a copy of the Code of Conduct and associated Guidance to you (see attached link). The role and mandate of the Lords Commissioner for Standards is clearly set out in the Guidance (see paragraphs 102 onwards). I hope this will assist you. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld/ldcond/code.pdf Annex C: Letter from Mr Cook to the Clerk, 23 September 2011 Possible Breach of the House of Lords Code of Practice I acknowledge receipt of your communication dated 21st September 2011 and I appreciate your drawing my attention to the specific sections of the “Code of Conduct” relevant to my complaint. I have noted sections 102 and 103 which appear to be only applicable to Members of the House of Lords. Section 104: On the 13th September 2011 my Solicitors sent to Lord Avebury’s Solicitors a copy of my complaint. As far as I am aware there has been no reaction from him to date. Section 105: My complaint was made in writing in accordance with this section. Section 106: In order to further clarify my complaint I am forwarding herewith a slightly amended copy of it, highlighting in red my concerns [see below]. The only evidence I can produce (should these be required) are copies of the invoices submitted to the Partnership by Lord Avebury together with the annual accounts showing the payments that have a been made to him. Section 107: I have made every effort to ensure this correspondence has been treated in a completely confidential manner. I have no wish to publicise it. Finally, I would like to express my appreciation of your kind assistance in this matter and I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

I would welcome your view, on my supposition that such a case, however one looks at it, might be construed as being tantamount to an attempt to mislead both Parliament and the general public at large as to his true outside interests and remuneration therefrom. I should also add that although the waste industry is a much maligned activity, it is one that I have been proud to be associated with for over 40 years. For a Peer to hide from the general public, for whatever reason, his own connection with the industry, does a great disservice to those who strive so hard, on no more than average wages, to maintain this important Public Service. Annex D: Letter from the Commissioner for Standards to Mr Cook, 9 November 2011 Your letter to the Registrar of Lords’ Interests dated 13/9/11 and your subsequent letter to my Clerk dated 23/9/11 refer. I note that your complaint is made in compliance with the requirements of the ‘Guide to the Code of Conduct’. I am of the view that your complaint falls within my terms of reference and I have written to Lord Avebury supplying full details of your complaint. I have invited him to provide a full and accurate account of the matters in question. I note and appreciate your personal commitment to the principle of confidentiality. I will in due course advise you of the outcome of my investigation. However, it may be several weeks before I am in a position to so advise you. If in the interim you require any information from me, or indeed wish to supply additional evidence, please do not hesitate to contact me. Annex E: Letter from the Commissioner for Standards to Lord Avebury, 9 November 2011 I am writing to you in my capacity as the Commissioner for Standards. I have to advise you that I have received a complaint against you; namely, that you have breached the Code of Conduct by reason of your ‘limited’ declarations of interest. I attach for your information copies of the two letters I have received from the complainant (Mr John Cook). It appears on the basis of the complaint that you may have breached the following provisions of the 2010 Code of Conduct: 7. In the conduct of their parliamentary duties, Members of the House shall base their actions on consideration of the public interest, and shall resolve any conflict between their personal interest and the public interest at once, and in favour of the public interest. 8. Members of the House: (a) must comply with the Code of Conduct; (b) should always act on their personal honour ... 10. In order to assist in openness and accountability Members shall: (a) register in the Register of Interests all relevant interests, in order to make clear what are the interests that might reasonably be thought to influence their parliamentary actions ... 12. The test of relevant interest is therefore not whether a Member’s actions in Parliament will be influenced by the interest, but whether a reasonable member of the
2012
12 January APPENDIX 2 : Priv ileg es and Conduct Co mmitte e - 11 th Report 2010 -12
1897
public might think that this might be the case. Relevant interests include both financial and non-financial interests. I would also draw your attention to the seven general principles of conduct identified by the Committee on Standards in Public Life and incorporated in to the Code of Conduct. I have conducted a preliminary assessment of the complaint and believe it is appropriate and in the interests of all concerned that I investigate it. Therefore, I now invite you to respond in writing with a full and accurate account of the matters in question. A response by 30/11/11 would greatly assist me in investigating this matter in a timely fashion. I attach for ease of reference a copy of the ‘Code of Conduct for Members of the House of Lords and Guide to the Code of Conduct.’ Annex F: Lord Avebury’s entry in the Register of Lords’ Interests as at 13 September 2011 Category 1: Directorships CL Projects Ltd (computer hardware & software; provides management advice to Cook Lubbock & Co, a partnership in which it has a 50% interest) Category 2: Remunerated employment, office, profession etc. Chartered Engineer (non-practising) Category 4: Shareholdings (a) Controlling interest in CL Projects Ltd (computer hardware & software; provides management advice to Cook Lubbock & Co, a partnership in which it has a 50% interest) Category 5: Land and property 390 acres arable land in Northamptonshire Category 10: Non-financial interests (d) President, Kurdish Human Rights Project President, TAPOL (Indonesian Human Rights) President, Advisory Council for the Education of Romanies and Travellers (ACERT) President, Peru Support Group Chairman, Cameroon Campaign Group Co-chair, Chittagong Hill Tracts Commission Category 10: Non-financial interests (e) Trustee, Silbury Fund Trustee, Friends of Alola Foundation Chairman, Maurice Lubbock Memorial Fund

Annex G: Letter from Lord Avebury to the Commissioner for Standards, 16 November 2011 Thank you for your letter of November 9 enclosing copies of the two letters you received from Mr John Cook. I have considered these letters in the light of the Code of Conduct I must also draw your attention to the context in which Mr Cook’s “complaint” has come forward, since it gives colour to his motivations and intent. I then set out the facts pertinent to his correspondence so that you may make your own assessment against the terms of the Code of Conduct. Mr Cook refers firstly to a partnership called Cook Lubbock & Co (“CLCo”). Mr Cook and the company of which he is sole director, C.L.A.W. Investments Pension Fund Limited have retained a respectable firm of solicitors to advise on the CLCo partnership and earlier this year; those solicitors served on behalf of their client(s) a notice dated 29 July 2011 to determine the CLCo partnership 12 months hence. Mr Cook, contrary it seems to his own solicitors’ advice, seems to maintain his own view that the CLCo partnership is one between me and him personally, notwithstanding the vesting of the partnership assets in corporate entities, and notwithstanding the accounting of the partnership for many years. I need make no further detailed comment on that for the purpose of this letter, but you should be aware that regrettably Mr Cook and/or his company are ultimately a disgruntled party who have an axe to grind over the break up of the CLCo partnership. This seems to have found a new dimension of expression in his letter to you. Turning to the facts pertinent to your enquiry, the company referred to in my declaration of interest is C L Projects Ltd, (“CLP”) in which I am the registered holder of 50% of the shares. The company has a 50% interest in CLCo, which was a two man partnership between myself and Mr Cook many years ago, but the personal interests we each had in the partnership were transferred to limited companies in 1997/98. These changes came about as a result of Mr Cook’s bankruptcy Mr Cook states correctly that CLCo derives most of its income from waste disposal into a landfill site, though it also receives payment from an electricity generator on the site, and from a contract farmer. The landfill site was a small area of the farmland and a new lease was issued to the operator to develop more of the surrounding farmland. Mr Cook is not aware of the other activities of CLP, which holds investments in quoted companies. His statement that I received £400,000 in a particular year from CLCo is incorrect, see attachment, and so is his assertion that I receive anything like £150,000 a year. I personally receive a rental income of about £25,000 from the partnership, retail price indexed, in respect of the partnership’s lease of Storefield Lodge Farm. I own the freehold of this farm, which is the 390 acres of arable land referred to in my declaration of interest. Mr Cook says that there is ‘no mention again of his true remunerated employment’. I have no remunerated employment, having taken no salary from CLP, though I may do so in the future. I derive my income from the dividends CLP pays from time to time; rent of the farm; state pension; pensions from previous employments, and personal investments, and I enclose statements from my present and previous accountants setting out the total amounts.

1899
Of course I totally reject the allegation that I have in any way said or done anything that contravened the Code of Conduct, and in particular, the seven principles and paragraphs 7, 8 and 12 which you quote. What Mr Cook seems to be saying is that my indirect interest in the waste disposal operations on my land, through my 50% shareholding in CLP, and that company’s 50% interest in the partnership which in turn leases part of the land to the operators of the waste disposal operator, was material enough to have warranted separate mention, among the other sources of my income. May I respectfully urge you to reject that proposition. Attachment: Email from Leslie Cox FCA, R E Jones & Co, to Lord Avebury Following our telephone conversation I am pleased to set out below the share of partnership income attributable to C L Projects Ltd and your personal income. 1. C L Projects: a. Turnover included the following income from the partnership: Year ended 31 May 2010 £103,841 Year ended 31 May 2009 £253,567 (the profits for this year were, however, overstated) Year ended 31 May 2008 £70,535 Year ended 31 May 2007 £50,593 Year ended 31 May 2006 £29,211 b. Actual amounts received from the partnership: Year ended 31 May 2010 £186,428 Year ended 31 May 2009 £167,500 Year ended 31 May 2008 £47,500 Year ended 31 May 2007 £50,250 Year ended 31 May 2006 £30,000 2. Your personal income from C L Projects Ltd, as declared on your tax returns, has been as follows: a. Dividends, being 50% of the total: Year ended 5 April 2010 Gross £25,666.67, Net £23,100 Year ended 5 April 2009 Gross £23,333.33, Net £21,000 Year ended 5 April 2008 Gross £15,555.56, Net £14,000 Year ended 5 April 2007 Gross £15,555.56, Net £14,000 Year ended 5 April 2006 Gross £15,555.56, Net £14,000 b. Rent: Year ended 5 April 2010 £21,892 Year ended 5 April 2009 £21,021 Year ended 5 April 2008 £23,762 (including backdated increase) Year ended 5 April 2007 £18,522 Year ended 5 April 2006 £18,522 I trust that these are the amounts that you require.

Attachment: Letter from Peter Ciccone, CPP Chartered Accountants, 16 November 2011 For reference purposes, we are pleased to confirm that Lord Avebury owns 50% of the issued share capital of C.L. Projects Ltd. (the company) and Lady Avebury owns 40% and John William Lubbock owns the remaining 10% of the issued share capital. The financial statements of C.L. Projects Ltd. for the year ended 31st May 2010 disclose income receivable from Cook Lubbock and Co. of £103,841 (year ended 31st May 2009 £254,398). The financial statements also state that C L Projects Limited has an interest in Cook Lubbock and Co by virtue of being one of the Partners. We understand that the interest is a 50% share. Equity dividends paid by C L Projects Ltd in the financial year ended 31st May 2010 totalled £46,200 (Lord Avebury £23,100, Lady Avebury £18,480 and John Lubbock £4,620). Dividends paid in the financial year ended 31st May 2009 totalled £42,000 (Lord Avebury £21,000, Lady Avebury £16,800 and John Lubbock £4,200). Lord Avebury also received rental income from Cook Lubbock and Co. His income tax return for the year ended 5th April 2010 show rental income assessable to tax of £21,463 (year ended 5th April 2011 £22,760). We trust this information is sufficient for your purposes, but please do not hesitate to contact us should you require clarification or further information. Annex H: Letter from Mr Cook to the Commissioner for Standards, 22 November 2011 Thank you for your letter of the 9th inst. To ensure the information I have given to you is completely accurate, I asked the Partnership Accountants to prepare a schedule of all payments made to either Lord Avebury or his Company in the years from 2007 up to date. This I am enclosing herewith. You will see that the figures vary to some extent from those I provided with my original complaint. This was partly due to there being a difference between the accounting years for each partner, and I apologise for any difficulties this may cause. However, I do not think it in any way diminishes the basis of my complaint. Should Lord Avebury dispute these figures, the Accountants have agreed for you to contact them for verification. They have also agreed to maintain complete secrecy until your investigations are complete. Attachment: Letter from RE Jones & Co, Chartered Accountants, 21 November 2011 As requested I am pleased to enclose the following schedules: 1. Payments to C.L. Projects Limited from January 2007 to October 2011. The total amounts paid, other than VAT, are in the Net Drawn column, although these figures are split between Consultancy Fees and Drawings in the accounts. 2. Payments to Lord Avebury as Rent. I trust that these are clear but please do not hesitate to contact me if further explanation is required. I also enclose a further copy of the accounts for the year ended 31 January 2011 as the original signed copy has not been received by us. Please sign the front page and return it to me.

Grand Committees Recommendations 9, 20 and 22 of the Leader’s Group on Working Practices1 related to Grand Committees. The Leader of the House has brought forward a number of proposals, drawing upon these recommendations, which we now put before the House. In so doing, we suggest that the new arrangements described below, if agreed by the House, be introduced on a trial basis, for the duration of the 2012–13 session of Parliament. This Committee will then review the trial, and make a further report to the House, so that the House can reach a final decision. Report of the Leader’s Group on Working Practices (HL Paper 136).

2012
Sitting hours of Grand Committees Recommendation 22 of the Leader’s Group was as follows: 22. We recommend that the sitting hours of the Grand Committee should in future be more predictable and longer. We propose that, with the exception of a period of around two weeks at the start and end of each session, there should be a presumption that the Grand Committee will sit on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each sitting week, from 10.30am to 12.30pm, and from 2.30 until 6.30pm. The Leader of the House, while supporting the Group’s recommendation that Grand Committee sittings should be longer, proposed, as an alternative to morning sittings, that Grand Committees on primary legislation should sit from 3.30pm to 10pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, from 3.45pm to 10pm on Wednesdays, and from 12 noon to 7pm on Thursdays. He suggested that these extended sittings should include a one-hour dinner break or, on Thursdays, tea break. He proposed no change to sitting times of Grand Committees on other types of business (such as statutory instruments or general debates). Most members of the Committee favoured longer sittings, though some concerns were expressed at the impact of such sittings on backbench and opposition Members. In putting the Leader’s proposals before the House we therefore add the proviso that Grand Committees should under no circumstances sit later than the new proposed finishing times. Oral statements in Grand Committee Recommendation 9 of the Leader’s Group was as follows: 9. We recommend that, on days when more than one oral statement needs to be taken, the option should be available to take the second and subsequent statements in the Moses Room. Such statements would take precedence over other business scheduled in the Moses Room. The Leader of the House, while supporting the recommendation, suggested that there would be practical difficulties with allowing statements to take precedence over other business scheduled in the Grand Committee. He accordingly proposed that on days when more than one oral statement is to be made or repeated, and a Grand Committee on primary legislation is due to sit, the option should be available to take one of the statements in the Grand Committee’s dinner or tea break, subject to agreement in the Usual Channels. We support the Leader’s proposal. Committal of Commons bills to Grand Committee Recommendation 20 of the Leader’s Group was as follows: 20. We recommend that a rule be established, and included in the Companion, that all Government bills introduced in the Commons should be considered in Grand Committee, apart from major constitutional bills and emergency legislation and other exceptionally controversial bills. In the case of such bills, the minister in charge of the bill should, when moving the committal motion to Committee of the Whole House, make a brief statement explaining to the House why the bill was deemed unsuitable for Grand Committee. The Leader of the House proposed that, instead of a firm “rule” subject to certain defined exceptions, there should simply be a “presumption” that
2012

30 January APPENDIX : Procedur e Co mmittee - 11 th Report 2010-12
Government bills introduced in the Commons should be committed to a Grand Committee, except where the Usual Channels agree otherwise. The formal committal would take place, as now, on a motion, and this motion would, as now, be debatable and amendable. Opinions within the Committee differed on whether the approach recommended by the Leader’s Group or that proposed by the Leader of the House was preferable. However, the majority of the Committee endorsed the Leader’s proposed wording, which we put before the House accordingly. Recommendations We make the following recommendations to the House: •

That for the duration of the 2012–13 session of Parliament, Grand Committees on primary legislation should rise no later than 10pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and no later than 7pm on Thursdays; That these extended sitting times should include provision for a one-hour dinner or tea break; That on days when more than one oral statement is to be made or repeated, and a Grand Committee on primary legislation is due to sit, the option should be available to take one of the statements in the Grand Committee’s dinner or tea break, subject to agreement in the Usual Channels; That there should be a presumption that Government bills introduced in the House of Commons should be committed to a Grand Committee, except where the Usual Channels agree otherwise; That these arrangements be adopted on a trial basis for the duration of the 2012–13 session of Parliament, before being reviewed by this Committee.
Some members of the Committee dissented from these recommendations. It is for the House as a whole to decide whether or not to agree them. Questions for Written Answer The number of Questions for Written Answer tabled in the House of Lords has risen steadily for a number of years. In the 2003–04 session an average of 29 Questions for Written Answer were tabled each sitting day. This figure rose to 48 each day in 2009–10, and in the current session to date has risen to an average of 60 each day. The Treasury estimates the cost of Questions for Written Answer at £159 per Question. 1 Thus the cost to the public purse of House of Lords Questions for Written Answer in the current session has been of the order of £9,500 in respect of each sitting day, or some £1.5 million per annum. It has been a longstanding practice of the House that Members are entitled to table up to six Questions for Written Answer each sitting day. We believe that this is still an appropriate maximum figure for any given day. However, six is a maximum, not a target: if a small number of Members regularly or continuously table Questions up to the maximum number permitted, their actions can quickly impose a disproportionate burden upon the Table Office, upon answering Departments, and upon the taxpayer. This would not, in our view, be an appropriate use of the right of Members to ask Questions of the Government.

2012
We therefore recommend that, in addition to the current daily limit of six Questions for Written Answer each sitting day, Members should be entitled in future to table a maximum of 12 Questions for Written Answer each sitting week. If this recommendation is agreed by the House, the new limit will apply to each calendar week in which the House sits, regardless of how many sitting days fall within that week. There will be no change to the limits that apply to “tabling days” in the long recess.

Health and Social Care Bill Division No. 5 Baroness Thornton moved amendment 178A, in clause 73, page 96, line 30, at end to insert: “(5) An NHS commissioner shall be entitled to undertake a review (“a Commissioning Review”) of all or any part of the health services that the NHS commissioner considers are reasonably required in order to discharge its functions under this Act, and, upon completion of such a Commissioning Review, an NHS Commissioner shall be entitled to determine that the most appropriate way to deliver all or any part of such services shall be through the conclusion of arrangements with one or more health services bodies or one or more NHS Foundation Trusts.

(6) NHS Commissioners shall, when conducting a Commissioning Review, have regard to the following factors: (a) the need for NHS services to be provided in a way that is economic, efficient and effective; (b) the need to commission services in a way that maintains or improves the quality of the services; (c) the need to commission health services in a way that promotes the integration of health and social care services; (d) the need for health care services provided for the purposes of the NHS to be provided in an integrated way where this will: (i) improve the quality of those services (including the outcomes that are achieved from their provision) or the efficiency of their provision, (ii) reduce inequalities between persons with respect to their ability to access those services, and (iii) reduce inequalities between persons with respect to the outcomes achieved for them by the provision of those services; (e) the likely future demand for health care services; (f) the desirability of patient choice. (7) An NHS commissioner shall be entitled, as part of any Commissioning Review, to seek expressions of interest from health services bodies or from NHS Foundation Trusts which may have an interest in providing such services, and shall be entitled to undertake such processes as it shall consider appropriate to determine which of such bodies is able most appropriately to provide any such services. (8) A Commissioning Review and decisions made following a Commissioning Review to make arrangements with one or more health services bodies or NHS Foundation Trusts shall not constitute anti-competitive behaviour for the purposes of this or any other Act. (9) The Public Contracts Regulations 2006 shall not impose any obligations on an NHS commissioner which undertakes a Commissioning Review or makes decisions to make arrangements with one or more health services bodies or NHS Foundation Trusts following a Commissioning Review. (10) Regulations under this section shall not impose obligations on an NHS commissioner undertaking a Commissioning Review. (11) The NHS Commissioning Board may, after consultation with Monitor, publish guidance to NHS Commissioners concerning Commissioning Reviews. (12) The National Health Service Act 2006 shall be amended by adding the following after section 9(4)(r): ‘(s) An NHS Foundation Trust’.” The House divided: Contents Not-contents Contents Adams of Craigielea, B.

(3) Healthwatch England shall be independent of any provider of national health or social care services or of any regulator of health or social care or of any other body established by this Act or otherwise. (4) Healthwatch England shall have the following functions (a) to establish a local healthwatch organisation for each local authority area; (b) to provide each local healthwatch organisation with such resources as may be agreed by Healthwatch England; (c) to provide local healthwatch organisations with advice on, and assistance in relation to, their functions and on such other matters that Healthwatch England may determine; and (d) to provide relevant persons with information and advice on: (i) the views of people who use health and social care services and of other members of the public on their needs for, and experiences of, health and social care services; and

(ii) the views of local healthwatch organisations and of other persons on the standard of provision of health and social care services and on whether or how the standard could or should be improved. (5) Relevant persons referred to in subsection (4)(d) are: (a) the Secretary of State; (b) the National Health Service Commissioning Board; (c) the Care Quality Commission; (d) Monitor; and (e) English local authorities. (6) A person provided with advice under subsection (4)(d) must inform Healthwatch England in writing of his or her response or proposed response to the advice. (7) Healthwatch England shall in addition have powers of investigation as prescribed in subsections (8) and (9) and powers to require disclosure of information as prescribed in subsection (6). (8) Healthwatch England may investigate: (a) a complaint made by or on behalf of a patient or user or a local healthwatch organisation which appears to the Board to raise one or more issues of general relevance; or (b) any matter which appears to the Board of Healthwatch UK to be or be related to a problem which affects or may affect patients or users generally or patients or users of a particular description. (9) For the purposes of subsection (8) a complaint raises an issue of general relevance if it raises: (a) a novel issue which affects or may affect patients or users in general or patients or users of a particular description, or (b) any other issue which has or may have an important effect on patients or users generally or patients or users of a particular description. (10) Healthwatch England may by notice require a person within subsection (11) to supply it with such information as is specified or described in the notice within a reasonable period as is so specified and the information so specified or described must be information that Healthwatch England requires for the purpose of exercising its function. (11) The persons referred to in subsection (6) are: (a) any provider of health or social care services licensed by the Care Quality Commission and Monitor under the provisions of this Act; (b) the National Health Service Commissioning Board; (c) Monitor; (d) Care Quality Commission; and (e) any other person specified or of a description specified by the Secretary of State. (12) If a person within subsection (11) fails to comply with a notice under subsection (10) the person must, if so required, give notice to Healthwatch England of the reason for the failure and if that reason for failure is not acceptable to the Board of Healthwatch England then the Board of Healthwatch England may take steps to publish the notice and the reasons for failure provided or to seek enforcement of the said notice through the courts.

(18) Before publishing a report under subsection (15) or (17), Healthwatch England must, so far as practicable, exclude any matter which relates to the private affairs of an individual, the publication of which, in its opinion, would or might seriously and prejudicially affect that individual’s interests. (19) In this section financial year means: (a) the period beginning with the date on which Healthwatch England is appointed and ending with the following 31 March, and (b) each successive period of 12 months ending with 31 March.”.” The House divided: Contents Not-contents Contents Adams of Craigielea, B.

10 Health and Social Care Bill Earl Howe moved that the bill be now read a third time. Then Lord Owen moved, as an amendment to the motion, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “this bill be not read a third time until the House has had an opportunity to consider the detailed reasons for the first-tier tribunal decision that the transition risk register be disclosed and the Government’s response thereto, or until the last practical opportunity which would allow the bill to receive Royal Assent before Prorogation”. After debate, the amendment was disagreed to (see division list 1) and the original motion was agreed to. Amendments were agreed to. Amendment 17 was disagreed to (see division list 2). Then Earl Howe moved that the bill do now pass. Then Baroness Thornton moved, as an amendment to the motion, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “this House declines to allow the bill to pass, because the bill does not command the support of patients who depend on the National Health Service, the professionals who are expected to make it work, or the public; will not deliver the promised objectives of genuinely empowering clinicians in the commissioning process and putting patients at the heart of the system; will increase bureaucracy and fragment commissioning; will allow Foundation Trusts to raise up to half their income from private patients; and, despite amendment, still creates an economic regulator and regime which will lead to the fragmentation and marketisation of the National Health Service and threaten its ethos and purpose”. After debate, the amendment was disagreed to (see division list 3) and the original motion was agreed to. The bill was returned to the Commons with amendments. 11 Public Bodies (Abolition of the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) Order 2012 Companies Act 2006 (Amendment of Part 23) (Investment Companies) Regulations 2012 Industrial Training Levy (Engineering Construction Industry Training Board) Order 2012 Industrial Training Levy (Construction Industry Training Board) Order 2012 Postal Services Act 2011 (Disclosure of Information) Order 2012 Postal Services Act 2011 (Penalties) (Rules for Calculation of Turnover) Order 2012 Employment Tribunals Act 1996 (Tribunal Composition) Order 2012 Unfair Dismissal and Statement of Reasons for Dismissal (Variation of Qualifying Period) Order 2012 The Grand Committee reported that it had considered the draft statutory instruments. 12 International development: sanitation and water A question was asked by the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells and, after debate, answered by Baroness Stowell of Beeston.

Health and Social Care Bill Division No. 3 Baroness Thornton moved, as an amendment to the motion that the bill do now pass, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “this House declines to allow the bill to pass, because the bill does not command the support of patients who depend on the National Health Service, the professionals who are expected to make it work, or the public; will not deliver the promised objectives of genuinely empowering clinicians in the commissioning process and putting patients at the heart of the system; will increase bureaucracy and fragment commissioning; will allow Foundation Trusts to raise up to half their income from private patients; and, despite amendment, still creates an economic regulator and regime which will lead to the fragmentation and marketisation of the National Health Service and threaten its ethos and purpose”.

APPENDIX LIAISON COMMITTEE - 3RD REPORT 2010-12 REVIEW OF SELECT COMMITTEE ACTIVITY
1.
1
Introduction Select Committee activity is rightly highly regarded both within the House and outside, and contributes greatly to the House of Lords’ reputation as a second Chamber. However, there is scope to do more to ensure that the committees for which we provide resources are those that make best use of the expertise of members and whose reports contribute the most to the national debate. The Report of the Leader’s Group’s on Working Practices1 now presents us with a valuable opportunity to refocus the committee work of the House, refresh and rebalance the range of subjects that are scrutinised, and in doing so engage a wider range of members in the House’s work. Session 2010-12 (HL Paper 136).

In this report we: • review the existing select committee activity of the House; • recommend an additional unit of committee activity; • subject to the redeployment of resources to support further new select committees, recommend the appointment of two new ad hoc select committees appointed for a fixed term of up to one session to conduct a specific inquiry into a cross-cutting area of domestic policy; and • recommend the appointment of an ad hoc select committee to carry out postlegislative scrutiny of a specific set of Acts. Apart from the additional unit of committee activity which we recommend, our recommendations for new committees are conditional on the House’s agreement to the redeployment of resources we propose. Existing scrutiny Committees Since the establishment of the European Communities Committee in the mid1970s, House of Lords Select Committees have developed into a major feature of the work of the House. They perform the dual function of contributing to the House’s scrutiny of Government and providing a forum for public debate and inquiry. Unlike those in the House of Commons, House of Lords select committees do not shadow the work of government departments. For the most part, their investigations look into cross-cutting subjects, taking advantage of the experience of members of the House. There are currently four major House of Lords investigative Select Committees: • the European Union Committee • the Science and Technology Committee • the Economic Affairs Committee • the Communications Committee In this report we have reviewed the work of those committees. In addition, three important Committees focus on scrutiny of legislation. These are the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee, the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee and the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments. The Joint Committee on Human Rights and the Constitution Committee also combine investigative and scrutiny functions. All five Committees contribute greatly to the scrutiny of legislation on and off the floor of the House. Like the Constitution Committee, the European Union, Science and Technology and Economic Affairs Committees are sessional committees, so called because under Standing Order 64 their orders of appointment remain in force from one Session to the next throughout a Parliament until the House orders otherwise. The Communications Committee has been appointed each Session; and in addition ad hoc committees are appointed to undertake a particular inquiry and to report thereon to the House. A sessional Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy was first appointed in 2010. 1

The Leader’s Group on Working Practices In April 2011 the Leader’s Group on Working Practices, chaired by Lord Goodlad, reported. Recommendations 45 and 46 of the Leader’s Group report (paragraphs 236 and 237) were as follows: “45. We recommend that the House establish two additional sessional select committees, with the intention of enhancing its capacity to scrutinise Government policy. In determining the remit of these committees, we recommend that particular regard be paid to the need for Lords committees to: • Make best use of the knowledge and experience of Members of the House; • Complement the work of Commons departmental select committees; • Address areas of policy that cross departmental boundaries. 46. We recommend that in future the work of all investigative select committees of the House should be subject to regular and systematic review, and that, following the appointment of the two additional committees recommended above, any further sessional committees should only be appointed to replace existing committees, without creating extra demands on resources.” The Group concluded (paragraph 232) that “it is time for a thorough review of [the House’s] committee work.” Our Review We have accordingly reviewed existing committee activity in the light of the Leader’s Group report. In so doing, we have borne in mind our conclusions in our First Report of this Session, 1 to which the House agreed, that the principles which we should apply in considering proposals for committee activity should be: (a) House of Lords committees should generally seek to complement rather than duplicate the areas of scrutiny of House of Commons committees and other Lords committees; (b) we will continue to support the appointment of one ad hoc committee at any one time, though there is a case for ad hoc committees with narrower and more topical remits conducting shorter inquiries; (c) new committees should be appointed for a limited time only; (d) we will continue to keep resource requirements closely under review to ensure that committee work provides value for money, and can be supported by members; (e) in assessing proposed or existing committees we will consider whether the committee activity in question represents a productive use of the resources of the House and the administration and, where there is a need to prioritise between two or more alternatives, whether it represents a more productive use than the others in existence or proposed; (f) we will continue to seek to evaluate potential impact when considering new proposals for committees, or reviewing existing activity.

Appointment of new committees We remain of the view that the best way of ensuring that committees reflect the changing priorities of the House and engage the full range of its membership is to appoint them on a time-limited basis, to conduct a specific inquiry with a membership tailored to that task. We share the view of the Leader’s Group that new committees should make best use of the knowledge and experience of members of the House, but believe that this objective is best achieved if new committees are appointed for a fixed term of a maximum of one session, to conduct a specific inquiry. Indeed for some subjects less than one session will be needed, as is already the case with prelegislative scrutiny Committees, which typically sit for a few months only, and cease to exist once they have reported. Regular turnover of members gives a wider range of members the opportunity to serve, and short, sharp inquiries should also make it easier for members with significant commitments outside the House to participate. We recommend that new investigative select committees should be appointed for a fixed term of up to one Session to conduct a specific inquiry. It would of course remain open to committees appointed on this basis to bid for re-appointment at the end of their term. Fixed terms would also allow us to play a more active role in reviewing and adapting the select committee activity of the House in future, thereby addressing the Leader’s Group’s recommendation that the House’s select committee activity should be kept under regular review. The resources to support new select committee activity would be released at the end of each Session, giving this Committee more room to accommodate bids for new select committees submitted by members of the House in the course of the Session. Bids for reappointment by existing committees could then be considered against this backdrop. The two new ad hoc committees we are recommending in this report derive from proposals by members of the House. One, on SMEs, is based directly on a proposal from Lord Popat and other members (see Appendix 1). The other, on public services, stems in part from a proposal which was initially canvassed in the Report of the Leader’s Group on Working Practices and subsequently elaborated in a note by Lord Bichard and others circulated generally. We remind members of the House that they may submit proposals for new ad hoc committees to the Chairman of the Liaison Committee at any time. We would particularly welcome proposals from members of the House towards the end of next Session, to inform our deliberations as we prepare to make recommendations to the House on the appointment of new ad hoc committees for the 2013–14 Session. In our First Report we estimated the additional marginal cost of a new unit of committee activity as £225,000. Clearly some committees are less expensive to run than others, and it might be helpful to note that a new committee requiring substantial legal advice would cost significantly more than this. We recommend an additional unit of committee activity and have sought and obtained the approval of the House Committee to this additional expenditure at its meeting on 28 February. In recognition of the current financial constraints, our discussions of further additional Committee activity were predicated on the diversion of some of the existing Committee resources, principally staff costs, to new Committees.

We accordingly considered the scope and activity of current committees. European Union Committee The sub-committee activity of the European Union Committee, which currently appoints 7 sub-committees to complement the work of the main Select Committee, absorbs a considerable proportion of the committee resources of the House, and we are grateful to the Chairman of the Committee, Lord Roper, for his letter about the work of the Committee, printed in Appendix 2. We have concluded that while the European Union Committee should remain the main focus of House of Lords committee scrutiny, it would now be appropriate to diversify some of the resources allocated to it to support new committee activity in other areas. We accordingly discussed with Lord Roper whether the Committee might work through fewer sub-committees, in order to free up resources for new committee activity. In the light of that discussion we recommend that from the start of the 2012–13 Session the number of sub-committees of the European Union Committee should be reduced from seven to six. The European Union Committee should reapportion responsibilities for policy areas between its remaining Sub-Committees as it sees fit. We also recommend in paragraph 43 that the size of European Union Sub-Committees should be increased from 12 to 14 members. Science and Technology Committee In our First Report we said that in the event of further demands for committee work requiring redeployment of committee resources we would in the first instance look towards retrenchment of the Science and Technology Committee. We accordingly discussed with the Chairman of that Committee, Lord Krebs, whether, with effect from next Session, the Committee should be allocated the resources of a single Select Committee. Lord Krebs also provided us with a helpful letter, printed in Appendix 3. We have concluded that from the start of the 2012–13 Session the Science and Technology Committee should be allocated the resources of a single select committee. The Committee should retain the power to appoint a sub-committee, and the power to co-opt additional members for particular inquiries, but those powers should not be exercised in such a way as to increase the workload of the Committee beyond that of a single committee unit. Economic Affairs Committee The Economic Affairs Committee (EAC) has proved an effective Committee and we recommend that it should continue on a sessional basis. Since 2002 the EAC has had the power to appoint a sub-committee (the Finance Bill Sub-Committee, or FBSC) to consider so much of the Finance Bill as relates to technical issues of administration, clarification and simplification but not the incidence or rates of tax. The FBSC reports before the Report Stage of the Bill in the Commons, to enable members of that House, if they so wish, to draw on its recommendations in moving amendments to the Bill. The FBSC’s report also informs the Second Reading debate on the Bill in this House. In 2010 the Government launched a new approach to tax policy-making, including publication of consultation papers over the summer and a draft
2012

2221
Finance Bill in December before the Budget and Finance Bill in March. When the FBSC began its inquiry in April 2011, witnesses pointed out that the FBSC’s late start made its scrutiny of the new policy-making cycle less effective, and it was suggested that the FBSC might meet earlier each year in order to consider the draft Bill. The EAC has accordingly made the case to us for the FBSC to scrutinise the draft Finance Bill. We discussed this proposal with the Chairman of the Committee, Lord MacGregor of Pulham Market, who assured us that the EAC and FBSC would continue to respect Commons financial privilege and that no additional resource would be required. No change in terms of reference is needed to enable this to happen. We recommend that the Economic Affairs Committee should continue to support its Finance Bill sub-committee from within the existing resources of the main Committee, and should carry out the same work and function as at present. In the light of the new approach to tax policymaking adopted by the Government we agree that the Committee should be able to appoint that Sub-Committee at an earlier point in the year in order to scrutinise the draft Finance Bill. Communications Committee We have already noted that the Communications Committee is not a sessional committee, and we agreed in our First Report of this session that it should not become one. We are grateful to Lord Inglewood, the Chairman of the Committee, for his letter about the Committee’s work, printed in Appendix 4. We discussed with Lord Inglewood, whether, with effect from next Session the Committee should be re-appointed as an ad hoc committee, to conduct a specific inquiry or inquiries. We decided not to recommend this change, and concluded that the committee should continue its work at this time, in the light of the current significant and fast-moving developments in the media and the creative industries. We recommend that the Communications Committee should be reappointed on the same basis as at present at the start of the 2012–13 Session. We will review the question of its further re-appointment towards the end of that Session. PROPOSALS FOR NEW COMMITTEE ACTIVITY

Pre-legislative committees in Session 2012–13 The Leader of the House has written to us confirming that both he and the Leader of the House of Commons are strongly committed to pre-legislative scrutiny and its value, and that the Government intend to publish a number of measures for such scrutiny in the course of Session 2012–13 (Appendix 5). The letter also confirmed the Government’s intention to publish a draft Parliamentary Privilege Bill, whilst making clear that that did not necessarily mean that that draft bill would be the first to be put forward for pre-legislative scrutiny next Session. We remain committed to supporting the work of pre-legislative committees, and thus welcome the Leader’s letter. The experience of recent Sessions has demonstrated the important role such committees can play in engaging a wider

2012
audience in the scrutiny of legislation than is possible on the floor of the House, and in assisting policy formulation. The staff resource currently provided for supporting pre-legislative committees enables the House to administer one such unit of activity at any one time. In the light of the importance of this work we believe that some of the resources which would be freed up by the reduction in sub-committee activity we have proposed above should be re-allocated to support pre-legislative scrutiny. We therefore recommend that the House should plan on the basis of supporting an additional pre-legislative scrutiny committee. Public Services Committee The Committee considered a proposal for a Public Services Committee, as canvassed in the Leader’s Group report and subsequently elaborated in a note circulated generally by Lord Bichard and others. This is a wide ranging and cross cutting policy area which is clearly of profound public policy significance. Public services are vital to UK society and consume a high proportion of public expenditure. There are, however, significant challenges to be met in terms of affordability and priorities, particularly in the light of demographic changes, most notably higher life expectancy. Although we are conscious that the House of Commons Public Administration Select Committee (PASC) is active in scrutinising many aspects of public services, and that public service provision—education, health, criminal justice, welfare, transport and infrastructure—has been considered by committees of both Houses in recent years, we consider that there remains scope for a House of Lords committee to take a holistic, strategic view of public service provision in the light of demographic change. The House has substantial experience in the policymaking and delivery of public services, which would be well suited to such a task. The potential range for this Committee is wide, and we envisage that once appointed the committee would wish to consider carefully its call for evidence so it focussed its work in a practical way. In particular, any committee would need to be mindful of the work of the PASC and other House of Commons committees when scoping its inquiry. We recommend the appointment of an ad hoc committee on Public Service provision in the light of demographic change, to report by the end of the 2012–13 Session. Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) exporting goods and services We considered a proposal by Lord Popat and others for an ad hoc inquiry into what the Government is doing to promote and assist Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) to export their products and services (Appendix 1). Whilst a good deal of consideration has been given to issues relating to small business, no recent, single inquiry has focused exclusively on barriers to growth for small business, and therefore we believe such an inquiry would be timely. The House has considerable business experience which could be usefully drawn upon in any such inquiry. We recommend the appointment of an ad hoc committee on SMEs exporting goods and services, to report by the end of the 2012–13 Session.

Post-Legislative scrutiny The Leader’s Group on Working Practices recommended that the House “appoint a Post-Legislative Scrutiny Committee, to manage the process of reviewing up to four selected Acts of Parliament each year.” 1 The Leader of the House put a variant proposal to us, that it would make better use of the expertise of members to establish an ad hoc committee on a particular Act or Acts. The Government have committed to publish post-legislative assessments of almost all Acts passed since 2005 within 3–5 years of their passing. While a considerable number of post-legislative memoranda have been published, relatively few Acts that are not already being considered by House of Commons committees are currently ripe for a significant post-legislative scrutiny inquiry. One Act which we believe would be suitable is the Children and Adoption Act 2006. 2 We also consider that post-legislative scrutiny of the Act could sensibly be conducted with post-legislative scrutiny of the Adoption and Children Act 2002. A post-legislative scrutiny committee could consider why the overall number of adoption placements has fallen in recent years, despite the intention behind the legislation, which was to speed up the adoption process and reduce the number of children in long-term care. The Government have stated that speeding up the adoption process is a priority, recently emphasised by the Prime Minister, and post-legislative scrutiny of the legislation in this area could consider why the process is still so slow. Post-legislative scrutiny is potentially an important new area of Select Committee activity for the House of Lords. It will, however, be necessary to evaluate the outcome of the first post-legislative scrutiny committee. This will be a future task for this Committee. We recommend the appointment of an ad hoc post-legislative scrutiny committee to examine the Children and Adoption Act 2006 and the Adoption and Children Act 2002, to report in a timely manner, so as to allow for evaluation of the Committee’s work before the end of the 2012–13 Session. If time allowed, the resources allocated to the first post-legislative scrutiny could then be made available for another post-legislative scrutiny committee to be established on another topic within the 2012–13 Session. Gulf War Veterans The Committee considered a proposal from Lord Maclennan of Rogart (Appendix 6) for the appointment of a select committee on the health needs of Gulf War veterans, and agreed that this subject had been adequately considered elsewhere. We do not recommend the appointment of a committee on the health needs of Gulf War veterans. Arab Spring The Committee considered a proposal from Lord Davies of Stamford (Appendix 7) for an ad hoc enquiry on “The Arab Spring and its consequences for North Africa and the Middle East.” Given that the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee is currently undertaking an enquiry into “British Foreign Policy and the Arab Spring” We do not recommend the appointment of a committee on the Arab Spring.
Paragraphs 134-141. A post-legislative scrutiny memorandum for the Children and Adoption Act 2006 was published in December 2011: http://www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm82/8204/8204.pdf .

Regulators In December 2011 Lord Rooker wrote to the Leader of the House suggesting that there should be a select committee scrutinising Regulators. Following the report of the ad-hoc Committee on Regulators we have twice considered further proposals for another Committee (in June and November 2010), and each time have decided against. We remain unpersuaded of the merits of a further review. We do not recommend the appointment of a further committee on Regulators. Participation by Members In the past, the availability of Members to serve on investigative select committees has been a constraint on the extent of that activity. We do not think that this remains true, given the influx of new members since the election. Indeed one of the objectives of our deliberations was to seek to find new opportunities for a wider group of Members to participate in committee work. We accordingly recommend two further changes to enable this to happen. The first is that the maximum size of sub-committees of the European Union Committee should be increased from 12 to 14 Members. Second, we considered whether the rotation rule as it applies to investigative sessional committees provides for sufficient opportunities for the membership of such committees to be refreshed. We think that the current rule should be reconsidered, and accordingly we invite the Procedure Committee to consider the reduction of the rotation rule relating to length of service on such committees from four to three years. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
44.

47.
48.
New investigative select committees should be appointed for a fixed term of up to one Session to conduct a specific inquiry. It would of course remain open to committees appointed on this basis to bid for re-appointment at the end of their term. We recommend an additional unit of committee activity and have sought and obtained the approval of the House Committee to this additional expenditure. Apart from the additional unit of committee activity which we recommend, our recommendations for new committees are conditional on the House’s agreement to the redeployment of resources we propose. From the start of the 2012–13 Session the number of sub-committees of the European Union Committee should be reduced from seven to six. The European Union Committee should reapportion responsibilities for policy areas between its remaining sub-committees as it sees fit. We also recommend that the size of European Union sub-committees should be increased from 12 to 14 members. From the start of the 2012–13 Session the Science and Technology Committee should be allocated the resources of a single select committee. The Committee should retain the power to appoint a sub-committee, and the power to co-opt additional members for particular inquiries, but those powers should not be exercised in such a way as to increase the workload of the committee beyond that of a single committee unit. The Economic Affairs Committee should continue to support its Finance Bill sub-committee from within the existing resources of the main Committee, and should carry out the same work and function as at present. In the light of the new approach to tax policy-making adopted by the Government we agree that the Committee should be able to appoint that Sub-Committee at an earlier point in the year in order to scrutinise the draft Finance Bill.

The Communications Committee should be re-appointed on the same basis as at present at the start of the 2012–13 Session. We will review the question of its further re-appointment towards the end of that Session. Some of the resources which would be freed up by the reduction in subcommittee activity we have proposed should be re-allocated to support prelegislative scrutiny. The House should plan on the basis of supporting an additional pre-legislative scrutiny committee. The House should appoint an ad hoc committee on Public Service provision in the light of demographic change, to report by the end of the 2012–13 Session. The House should appoint an ad hoc committee on SMEs exporting goods and services, to report by the end of the 2012–13 session. Post-legislative scrutiny is potentially an important new area of Select Committee activity for the House of Lords. It will, however, be necessary to evaluate the outcome of the first post-legislative scrutiny committee. This will be a future task for this Committee. The House should appoint an ad hoc Post-Legislative Scrutiny Committee to examine the Children and Adoption Act 2006 and the Adoption and Children Act 2002, to report in a timely manner, so as to allow for evaluation of the Committee’s work before the end of the 2012–13 Session. We do not recommend the appointment of a committee on the health needs of Gulf War veterans. We do not recommend the appointment of a committee on the Arab Spring. We do not recommend the appointment of a further committee on Regulators. The maximum size of sub-committees of the European Union Committee should be increased from 12 to 14 members. We invite the Procedure Committee to consider the possible reduction of the rotation rule relating to length of service on investigative sessional committees from four to three years.
APPENDIX 1: LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN FROM LORD POPAT ON SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SMES)—EXPORTING GOODS AND SERVICES Ahead of the next meeting of the Liaison Committee on Tuesday 6th March I would like to make the following proposal for a short inquiry into what the Government is doing to promote and assist Small and Medium Sizes Enterprises (SMEs) export their products and services. In this proposal I am supported by Lord Parekh, Lord Dykes and Baroness Prashar. Given the economic conditions Britain faces and the Government’s focus on rebalancing the economy, I believe this is a particularly timely subject to investigate. As has been widely reported, according to the Office of National Statistics, the UK’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) shrank by 0.2% in the fourth quarter of 2011 and economic growth remained relatively low all of last year, with many industries seeing demand stagnate. In addition our major trading partners in the Eurozone are continuing to struggle with their own economic problems and domestic consumer confidence in the UK remains relatively low. For the Government’s deficit reduction strategy to be successful, new pockets of export-led economic demand will need to be uncovered and encouraging SMEs to export could and should be a major source of that demand.

2012
Before being ennobled I had a thirty year career working with and for SMEs in a range of sectors. I am fortunate to have maintained contact with many of them and based on numerous anecdotes and conversations regarding the difficulties of exporting, I believe that this is an area that merits thorough consideration. Exporting is often a natural progression for many larger companies; they can afford to bring in expertise and guidance, and develop sophisticated plans for specific markets. Unfortunately this sort of planning is usually not available to SMEs—who are often small start ups or who haven’t even considered the possibility of exporting—I believe it is in our nation’s economic interest for the Government to help those firms. I note that the House of Commons Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) Committee recently investigated “Rebalancing the Economy: Trade and Investment”, which was published in July 2011 and touched on encouraging SMEs to export. In the report, Phil Orford from the Forum of Private Business (FPB) stated: “There is a real difference in going from trading within your town, your county or your region, or even within the UK, to taking that step to international trade, and we certainly believe that there’s a lot more that could be done [...] to try and break down some of the perception barriers that exist within businesses that have a desire to export but don’t really know how to take that next step.” Unfortunately the UK Trade and Investment’s (UKTI) five-year strategy (Britain Open for Business)—which set out the target of ‘reaching out’ 25,000 UK companies a year—was not particularly scrutinised by the BIS Committee as it was only published in May 2011, despite it being originally scheduled for January 2011. It therefore seems appropriate that this strategy is further scrutinised by Parliament. The Government has made supporting trade through increased investment and exports a central part of its plan to boost growth in the economy. As the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s website states, one of the Government’s priorities is: “[To] build Britain’s prosperity by increasing exports and investment, opening markets, ensuring access to resources, and promoting sustainable global growth.” I do not believe that this is a contentious priority (as demonstrated by the cross-party support for this proposal)—indeed I would state that this should be one of the first priorities of any Government—however I do believe it is essential that the Government’s work in this area is scrutinised. Given that the Minister responsible— the Trade Minister, Lord Green of Hurstpierpoint—is a member of this House, it seems appropriate that the scrutiny falls to a body in the House of Lords. I believe this inquiry should be limited specifically to the work currently being carried out by the Government—and the appropriate arms of Government—and work that is planned by the Government to help SMEs export their products and services. I have been careful to limit this review to SMEs as I feel broadening out this remit would considerably more time than the short inquiry we are requesting. In summary, I feel that many businesses in this country would benefit from assistance in exporting their goods and services, and the Government has identified this as a key area of economic growth. Yet there remains considerable uncertainty and ignorance amongst the SME community about what help is and should be available, and I believe an inquiry will help to enlighten both the Government and the SME community on the current situation and how we can best progress. 2 MARCH 2012

APPENDIX 2: LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN FROM LORD ROPER, CHAIRMAN OF THE EUROPEAN UNION COMMITTEE Thank you for your letter of 16 February. I welcome the opportunity to attend the Liaison Committee at around 4.15 pm on 6 March. I thought it would be helpful to include some background information in this letter. I know that much of this will be familiar to you and to the other members of the Liaison Committee but, particularly as the role of the Committee has developed in a number of ways recently, I thought it would be useful to provide the Committee with an overview, allowing more time for discussion at the meeting. Work of the Committee The EU Committee is appointed by the House to scrutinise EU documents, and the development of EU policies, in advance of decisions being taken on them. It does this to influence the Government’s position in negotiations in Brussels, to hold the Government to account for their actions at EU level, and to influence the development of EU legislation and other policies which affect the UK. This role may be regarded as increasingly important in the context of the enhanced role for Parliament recognised in the European Union Act 2011. The Committee is assisted by seven sub-committees which deal with different sets of policy areas: • Economic and Financial Affairs, and International Trade • Internal Market, Energy and Transport • Foreign Affairs, Defence and Development Policy • Agriculture, Fisheries and Environment • Justice and Institutions • Home Affairs • Social Policies and Consumer Protection The Sub-Committees conduct their work in two key ways. They scrutinise the proposals for new laws by the EU, and other EU documents such as foreign policy proposals. They do this on the basis of EU documents deposited in Parliament by the Government, explanatory memoranda produced by the Government, and analysis prepared by the Committee’s own staff. The Sub-Committees also conduct in-depth inquiries into the most important of these proposals, and the major issues facing the EU and the UK—most recently the eurozone crisis. Thus far this session the Committee has produced 25 reports, 16 of which have been put forward for debate in the House. The Select Committee itself approves reports prepared by the Sub-Committees; considers Government and Commission responses to reports; examines the Commission’s annual work programme; holds evidence sessions with the Minister for Europe; holds meetings with the Ambassador of each incoming Presidency country; and conducts inquiries on major cross-cutting issues, such as the EU’s budget for 2014–2020, and proposed Treaty changes.

Purpose of the Committee’s work Accountability The Committee’s work ensures the accountability of HMG to Parliament. A substantial amount of the Government’s work concerns the European Union but it is not practical for detailed scrutiny to be undertaken by the House in the chamber. The specialist sub-committees allow the House effectively to scrutinise Government Ministers and to hold them to account for what they do and agree to in the European Union. Thus far this session, the Committee has issued over 1000 letters raising concerns and questions with Government Ministers, and has heard evidence from Ministers on 37 occasions. Legislative scrutiny The EU produces a great deal of the legislation affecting the United Kingdom. The EU Committee examines that legislation and influences its development. The Committee examines policy proposals and draft legislation during the early stages, not when they are being implemented and cannot easily be changed. The workload is huge. So far this session the Government have presented 1622 EU documents to Parliament. This equates to around 900–1000 documents annually. There is a sifting system to ensure that we focus our limited resources on the most important proposals, but even so the Sub-Committees have had to examine 672 documents so far this session. Here are a few of the proposals currently under scrutiny by the EU Committee and its Sub-Committees: • the EU’s budgets for 2014–2020 across all policy areas, including proposals to cut the UK’s budget rebate • further aligning Member States’ criminal law procedures, including on extradition • a financial transaction tax • new rules for the allocation of landing slots at airports and regulating noise levels • new rules on public procurement across the EU • reform of the common agricultural and fisheries policies In an EU of 27 Member States, with 40 chambers, it is sometimes not easy to identify the direct impact of any one Committee. But to take just one example, last year our Social Policies and Consumer Protection Sub-Committee reported on the free movement around the EU of healthcare professionals. This inquiry was initially inspired by contact with one of the medical regulators, and followed concerns that the current system was allowing patients to come to harm. Since publication of the report, which received a great deal of media attention, the Commission has published its legislative proposal, which reflects key recommendations made by the Committee. A follow-up informal discussion was held with the regulatory bodies of all the directly affected professions. As a result of the report, the Chairman of the Sub-Committee has been invited to speak at separate conferences in Brussels in November and again in March on how the policy should be taken forward.

Duties of national Parliaments under the Lisbon Treaty The Lisbon Treaty has given national parliaments an increased role. Since the treaty came into effect in 2009 the EU Committee has helped to make sure that the House exercises its rights under the treaty. In particular, the Committee examines proposals to make sure that the subsidiarity principle, whereby proposals are only taken forward at EU level when it adds value to alternative measures at national level, is respected and, if it has concerns, it seeks the agreement of the House to make a report to the EU institutions. So far this has been done on three occasions. Spotting potential problems with subsidiarity, and making appropriate reports to the House, has to be done quickly. Engagement with the public, and reputation of the House The Committee contributes to the House’s reputation with stakeholders across the UK. The Sub-Committees’ inquiries allow them to engage with a wide range of stakeholders, and the Committee has a high reputation. Following the Agriculture, Fisheries and Environment’s influential July 2011 report on Innovation in Agriculture, a seminar was held in November 2011 to discuss the report in the light of the Commission’s proposals for the future of the Common Agricultural Policy. The seminar brought together the DEFRA Minister Lord Taylor of Holbeach, key British stakeholders and the European Commission, which we understand has helped the Commission to consolidate its ideas on the development of a new innovation partnership in the area of agriculture. Scrutiny of EU institutions The Committee provides scrutiny of EU institutions. The Committee questions EU Commissioners, tests the Commission’s proposals, and shares concerns with other national parliaments and the European Parliament. For example, in February the EU Commissioner in charge of the proposed financial transaction tax—a major concern for the UK—came to the Lords to give evidence, and heard the detailed concerns of the Sub-Committee on Financial Affairs. The Commissioner’s appearance before the Committee received significant media coverage. Supports the entire House The Committee helps ensure that the House has a large number of members who understand how the European Union works, and can engage effectively with European issues. For example, on 16 February the House held an excellent debate on the eurozone crisis. Of the 36 members who spoke, 23 of them were current or former members of the EU Committee and its sub-committees. Expertise The EU’s work covers nearly all policy areas, including financial matters, the internal market, international trade, home affairs and social affairs, justice, the environment, agriculture, foreign policy, defence, etc. Having subject specialist sub-committees allows these important areas to be examined effectively. The members of each subcommittee are able to contribute expertise, and to gain it, in particular policy areas, and to pursue major issues consistently. If each Sub-Committee had a significantly higher number of policy areas to examine this expertise, and the very strong member input into the work, would be diluted. The EU Committee currently offers, to my mind, the best example of the Lords and Commons committee systems operating in a complementary way. We routinely
2230
20 March APPENDIX : Liaison Committee - 3rd Repor t 2010-12
2012
conduct substantive, evidence-based, policy scrutiny and seek to influence the development of EU policy, while the Commons operates in a very different way. The House has established an unparalleled reputation externally for the quality and objectivity of our work and plays a leadership role amongst EU national parliaments, at a time when the role of national parliaments in the EU’s institutional architecture is becoming increasingly significant. I do of course understand that the Liaison Committee is looking to free up resources for other select committee activity against a backdrop of financial restraint. We are not complacent about the resources currently allocated to EU work, nor about the way we do our work. But I do think it is vital that the ability of the EU Committee to conduct its scrutiny is not significantly impaired by any changes. 1 MARCH 2012

APPENDIX 3: LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN FROM LORD KREBS, CHAIRMAN OF THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE Thank you for your letter of 16 February in which you invite me to appear before a meeting of the Liaison Committee on Tuesday 6 March at 4.30 pm. I am delighted to have an opportunity to discuss the Liaison Committee’s proposals with regard to the future of the Science and Technology Committee. You indicate in your letter that the Liaison Committee is minded to reduce the Science and Technology Committee to a single Select Committee in order to release resources for new ad hoc committee activity. I am aware that the Report of the Leader’s Group on Working Practices recommends (at paragraph 236) that the House should establish two additional select committees. I note also that, in setting up these two additional committees, the Leader’s Group recommends that particular regard should be paid to the need for Lords committees to (1) “make best use of the knowledge and experience of members of the House”, (2) “complement the work of the Commons departmental select committees” and (3) “address areas of policy that cross departmental boundaries”. In advance of the Liaison Committee meeting next week, I hope that it may assist you in your deliberation if I were to set out the reasons why, in my view, retaining the current level of resources for the Committee, coupled with some changes to our working practices, would provide the most effective means of responding to the Leader’s Group recommendations and, more generally, of enabling the House to discharge one of its core functions of holding the executive to account in those policy areas which fall within the Committee’s orders of reference. Current working practices of the Science and Technology Committee The Science and Technology Committee is a Select Committee with power to appoint sub-committees. The sub-committees are ad hoc committees in the sense that they are appointed for the duration of an inquiry and cease to exist when they report to the Select Committee. The Liaison Committee indicated in its First Report of this session that the Select Committee should restrict its operation to two units of activity. We have worked within this limit principally by running two parallel inquiries, one by the Select Committee and another by a sub-committee. It is the practice of both committees to co-opt additional members for each new inquiry.
2012
20 March APPENDIX : Liaison Committee - 3rd Repor t 2010-12
2231
(1) Making use of the knowledge and experience of Members The Leader’s Group refers (at paragraph 226) to “the clear public interest in making the best use of the expertise of the House’s Members”. Membership of the House includes a significant number of eminent scientists, both natural and physical scientists and social scientists, and also of those who have an active interest in, and experience of, science and science policy. The Science and Technology Committee is a highly effective mechanism for ensuring that the House benefits from its expert membership. The interest amongst members of the House in the work of the Committee is demonstrated by the fact that the demand for places on the Committee exceeds their availability. (2) Complementing the Commons Science and Technology Committee The Leader’s Group acknowledges (at paragraphs 226 and 227) that there will be some overlapping activity in any bicameral legislature. Both Houses have European Committees and both have a Science and Technology Committee. The report, however, suggests that “the essential point is not that the two Houses should not overlap, but that they should work in a complementary fashion”. It has been a long held practice of the Lords Science and Technology Committee to liaise frequently at official level and occasionally at member level to ensure that the two Committees do not carry out inquiries into the same areas of policy. (3) Cross departmental inquiries Recognising that the Commons Committees are structured, by and large, to shadow individual Government departments, it is also a long held practice of the Committee to undertake cross departmental inquiries. Advantages of a sessional committee generally Sessional committees remain in existence after they have reported. As a result, they are able to plan long-term work programmes, receive Government responses, undertake short inquiries and one-off evidence sessions and return to previous inquiries to followup progress on recommendations. Sessional committees, therefore, to a far greater extent than ad hoc committees, are able to play a crucial role in enabling the House to hold the executive to account. Sessional committees are also able to develop an influential reputation externally. The Science and Technology Committee is over 30 years old and, as the Liaison Committee will be aware from the material submitted at the beginning of the session, it commands a great deal of authority within the House, the scientific community and the public at large. Proposed change in Science and Technology Committee working practices I would like to make a proposal which would provide a means of securing wider involvement of members in the committee activity of the House whilst preserving the advantages of a sessional committee. The Committee has 14 members and subcommittees may have up to 12 members. If the Committee were to continue with its current resources but undertake inquiries through two sub-committees (rather than through Select and a sub-committee), this would combine continuity with the opportunity to co-opt to up to five members to each sub-committee. This model of working would create a degree of “churn” of membership which could be increased if changes were also made to the rules of procedure, such as allowing more than 12 members to sit on sub-committees or changing the rotation rule from four to three years.
2232
20 March APPENDIX : Liaison Committee - 3rd Repor t 2010-12
2012
A further advantage of this proposal would be that the Select Committee (rather than the Liaison Committee and the House) would agree the subjects for inquiry by the sub-committees. As a result, the Committee would be in a position to ensure that no time is lost between completing an inquiry and launching a new inquiry. Inevitably, in the case of ad hoc committees, there will be a gap in activity since the Liaison Committee and House will need time to consider new inquiry topics once an ad hoc has reported. Remit of the Science and Technology Committee The orders of reference of the Committee are “to consider science and technology”. This is a broad remit. The range of subjects the Committee covers is considerable. In recent months, for example, we have published reports on Behaviour Change, Nuclear Research and Development Capabilities and today the Committee has published its report on Departmental Chief Scientific Advisers. The significance of the policy areas within the Committee’s orders of reference has never been greater. In these times of economic hardship, the role of a committee which is able to investigate, for example, the development of science-based industries and high-value manufacturing technologies, innovation and procurement, and waste reduction is crucial. Given this breadth of subjects, the subject of inquiry of any proposed ad hoc may well fall within the scope of the Committee’s orders of reference. I note that the Leader’s Group (at paragraph 234) sets out a number of suggestions for additional committee activity. They include, for example, health and national infrastructure, both of which would be appropriate subjects of inquiry for the Science and Technology Committee. I look forward to attending the Committee next week. I would be most grateful if this letter could be circulated to members of the Liaison Committee in advance of the meeting. 29 FEBRUARY 2012
KREBS
APPENDIX 4: LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN FROM LORD INGLEWOOD, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE Thank you for your letter of 16 February inviting me to appear before the Liaison Committee at its meeting on 6 March. I would be delighted to attend. I thought that it might be helpful in advance of my appearance before the Committee to set out some of the practical implications of any proposal for the Select Committee on Communications to become an ad hoc committee. As you know, the Select Committee on Communications is not a sessional committee that is automatically reappointed for the duration of each Parliament. It has, however, been reappointed at the beginning of each session since it was established in May 2007. The Committee’s work has been characterised by a constructive dialogue with the sector, initially put in place by Lord Fowler, which has enabled it to build a reputation externally. This has not only benefited policy making but has enhanced the reputation of the House in the wider world. If the Select Committee on Communications were to become an ad hoc committee, the practical implications would be far reaching and the members of the committee are unanimously of the view that such a change would have a detrimental impact on the work and effectiveness of the Committee. As an ad hoc committee, we would only be appointed to conduct a specific inquiry. This is very different to the current situation whereby the Communications Committee is appointed for a session and chooses how
2012
20 March APPENDIX : Liaison Committee - 3rd Repor t 2010-12
2233
to shape its work programme during that session. Sometimes it chooses to focus on a couple of long in-depth inquiries, sometimes shorter inquiries, and each session there tends to be one or two non-inquiry related evidence sessions which follow-up previous reports or scope the area for future inquires. If it were an ad hoc committee the end of each inquiry would signal the end of the committee. At that point the Liaison Committee would have to consider a new bid for a new inquiry. We would never know whether the Liaison Committee would accept the new bid or whether the next ad hoc committee would have the same membership or even the same name. There would always be a hiatus of activity while the Liaison Committee and the House considered any new proposal and during this hiatus our members and staff would have little to do. Because of the onerous process of getting agreement to a new inquiry it is unlikely that short inquiries would be suggested. It would be outside an ad hoc committee’s remit to hold one-off sessions to follow-up old inquiries or investigate possibilities for new ones. This would significantly undermine the impact of the Committee’s work. In short, if established on an ad hoc basis, the Communications Committee would not be able to plan a work programme, follow-up old inquires, scope the area for new inquiries or hold short inquiries on important but relatively limited policies. It could not build a reputation externally, and it could not assume a steady membership across sessions, or even a steady chairmanship. These are significant differences. What sounds like a small procedural change will have a considerable practical impact. The media and the creative industries, the Committee’s remit, are in an extraordinary state of flux at present. Rapid economic, technological and behavioural change is creating profound economic, legal and regulatory challenges for all concerned. I believe that it is vital that the Committee continues to be appointed with the flexibility to conduct various inquiries over the course of the next session and hopefully for future sessions to come. This is the status quo. The Liaison Committee still has a role in considering our future at the end of each session and if at that point the Liaison Committee did not consider our work to have been a good use of resources then we could not expect to be re-appointed. I hope that this is helpful background and you might see fit to circulate this letter to the Committee in advance of its meeting at which I look forward to seeing you. 28 FEBRUARY 2012

APPENDIX 5: PRE-LEGISLATIVE SCRUTINY IN 2012–13: LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN FROM THE LEADER OF THE HOUSE I am conscious that my paper for the Liaison Committee about investigative Select Committees makes no mention of pre-legislative scrutiny. The Leader of the House of Commons and I are both strongly committed to pre-legislative scrutiny and its value; and the Government intend to publish a number of measures for such scrutiny in the course of session 2012–13. At this stage, I cannot identify the subject matter of the measures because I should not wish to pre-empt The Queen’s Speech. I can however say that I intend to write to you, in your capacity as Chairman of the Liaison Committee as soon as I am in a position to do so, in order to set out the Government’s aspirations for pre-legislative scrutiny to be conducted by Joint Committees of the two Houses. I am conscious that the two administrations can support two units of joint pre-legislative scrutiny at any one time;
2234
20 March APPENDIX : Liaison Committee - 3rd Repor t 2010-12
2012
and that this may therefore require careful sequencing of the measures proposed for pre-legislative scrutiny by a Joint Committee. I have written to you previously to set out the Government’s intention to publish a draft Parliamentary Privilege Bill. That remains our intention, but I should make clear that this need not mean that that draft bill would be the first to be put forward for prelegislative scrutiny next session—other measures may be more time-sensitive. I understand from the Clerk of the Parliaments that a Joint Committee on a draft Parliamentary Privilege bill would (in the Lords) principally be supported by the Journal Office. If that is the case, I should be grateful for the Liaison Committee’s view on whether the two Houses would remain capable of supporting two further joint prelegislative scrutiny committees alongside any Joint Committee on a draft Parliamentary Privilege Bill, or only one. 8 FEBRUARY 2012

APPENDIX 6: LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN FROM LORD MACLENNAN OF ROGART I have been approached by the General Manager of the National Gulf Veterans and Families Association in terms of a letter, a copy of which I enclose [not printed. Paragraph 6 reads as follows: “... Please support the NGVFA’s ongoing Gulf War 20th Anniversary Campaign by; putting forward a proposal to the House of Lords Liaison Committee for the appointment of an ad hoc committee to review this new evidence; table oral or written questions on the subject to Her Majesty’s Government; and bring evidence to light with colleagues.”] Can you say whether the Liaison Committee would be prepared to act in the manner in which Ms. Rusling advocates in her sixth paragraph? I shall be most grateful to have your advice. 23 FEBRUARY 2011

APPENDIX 7: LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN FROM LORD DAVIES OF STAMFORD I am writing, following our conversations yesterday, formally to propose that the next Select Committee report should cover “The Arab Spring and its consequences for North Africa and the Middle East.” I believe this to be a very pertinent subject on which the public would expect a considered Parliamentary view. It is very crosscutting, covering various aspects of foreign affairs, Development, economics, energy policy and even defence and therefore not an obvious subject for a House of Commons Select Cttee. I am sure that if properly disciplined it could report before the end of the session—indeed it would need to report quite rapidly if it is to be useful in a very fast evolving situation. 23 JUNE 2011 20March

HOUSE COMMITTEE - 3RD REPORT 2010-12 GRAND COMMITTEE AND SELECT COMMITTEE RESOURCES 1.
Introduction The purpose of this report is to set out the likely costs of the Procedure Committee’s proposals for extended Grand Committee sittings, and of the Liaison Committee’s proposal for a net increase of one select committee, in the event that they are agreed by the House. Procedure Committee report
2.
1
Summary of proposals On 30 January the Procedure Committee published a report 1 which made the following recommendations, among others, to the House. • “That for the duration of the 2012-13 session of Parliament, Grand Committees on primary legislation should rise no later than 10pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and no later than 7pm on Thursdays; • That these extended sitting times should include provision for a one-hour dinner or tea break; • That on days when more than one oral statement is to be made or repeated, and a Grand Committee on primary legislation is due to sit, the option should be available to take one of the statements in the Grand Committee’s dinner or tea break, subject to agreement in the Usual Channels; • That there should be a presumption that Government bills introduced in the House of Commons should be committed to a Grand Committee, except where the Usual Channels agree otherwise; • That these arrangements be adopted on a trial basis for the duration of the 2012-13 session of Parliament, before being reviewed by this Committee.”

Additional costs 3. The actual cost implications of the Procedure Committee’s proposals depend upon the following factors: • the frequency of longer sittings within a single week; • whether sittings follow a cycle of busy and less busy periods; • whether the sitting pattern is known well in advance, or only at short notice (possibly only on the day in question, if a statement is taken); and • whether sittings are limited to a specific day or days of the week. 4. The main impact will be on Hansard. Put simply, the greater the uncertainty about the factors in the previous paragraph, the more expensive the staffing model for Hansard becomes. If it is known sufficiently far in advance, and with sufficient confidence, on what days the Grand Committee will sit, and the distribution of the sittings within the parliamentary year and week, then the present staffing model could be adapted through use of additional temporary reporters or staff on part-time contracts. In the absence of a structured sitting framework Hansard will need to be staffed on the basis that higher levels of Grand Committee activity can be supported at any time. 5. If it is assumed that the current hours of Grand Committee sittings will continue (roughly 200 hours on primary legislation in a reasonably representative session), the estimated costs of extended sittings are in the following ranges: 1 Potential number of extended GC sitting days per week
Cost per annum
1
£76,000
2
£160,000-190,000
3
£220,000-300,000
4
£332,000
6.
If the hours of Grand Committee sittings on primary legislation per year were to increase slightly or substantially, the estimated costs are in the following ranges:
Potential number of extended GC sitting days per week
Cost (280 hours per annum)
Cost (350 hours per annum)
2
£174,000-244,000
£200,000-280,000
3
£245,000-370,000
£300,000-430,000
4
£380,000
£425,000
7. 1
In addition, there would be additional costs associated with the provision of procedural support from clerks (around £10,000 per annum); technical support
The less costly staffing model for potential sittings two or three times a week assumes that the sittings would take place on consecutive days, so reporters could be employed on part-time contracts. The higher cost does not assume that, and is on the basis that temporary reporters would be required. It is assumed that editorial staff will be employed on a full-time basis if there is a potential for four Grand Committee sittings a week.

for broadcasting (around £13,500 per annum); and the provision and fitting out of new accommodation for Hansard. It may be that increased use of Grand Committees could reduce the pressure on the Chamber. If the House itself did not sit beyond 10pm on Mondays to Wednesdays, 7pm on Thursdays and 3pm on Fridays, the savings are estimated at around £80,000 p.a. We have also agreed that, if the House agrees to the Procedure Committee’s proposals, Grand Committee Hansard should be published in a separate volume to the main Hansard (but still the next morning as at present). The Grand Committee volume would require a smaller print-run than the main Hansard, producing estimated savings of between £27,000 and £47,250 (depending on the number of hours the Grand Committee sits) in printing costs. Liaison Committee report The Liaison Committee has published a report 1 containing a number of recommendations in respect of the select committee activity of the House. The effect of these recommendations, if agreed by the House, would be a net increase of one unit of select committee activity. The additional marginal cost of a new unit of committee activity is estimated at £225,000 per annum, which largely comprises the cost of the additional staff who would need to be recruited. Clearly some committees are more expensive to run than others: those requiring substantial legal advice or travel would certainly cost more than £225,000. We have agreed to additional provision for the Committee Office of up to £225,000, subject to the House agreeing the Liaison Committee report. Covering the costs Office budgets for the next three years have been constructed without regard to these possibilities. We have agreed that the Administration will calculate the actual costs of what the House decides, and present this Committee with a package of savings—which may or may not be in the same budgets—which would make it cost-neutral. Substantial unbudgeted savings are already anticipated from recent developments in the area of printing, but more may be required. If the House should decide to proceed faster than the savings can be delivered, then if necessary the gap will be funded from the Reserve.
Conclusion 14. This report is made to the House for information. 22March

Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee We have considered a letter sent to the Chairman of Committees by the Chairman of the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee, Lord Goodlad. The text of the letter is given in the Appendix to this Report. Lord Goodlad proposes that, in recognition of Committee’s new responsibility for scrutiny of public bodies orders, 1 its title be changed to the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee. This change would require certain technical changes to the Committee’s terms of reference. We support the changes proposed by the Chairman of the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee, and therefore recommend that: • The Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee be renamed the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee, with effect from the start of the 2012-13 session of Parliament; • The Committee’s terms of reference be amended accordingly, as set out in the Appendix to this report. See the 7th Report of this Committee (HL Paper 206), agreed by the House on 8 November 2011.

2012
APPENDIX Letter from Lord Goodlad, Chairman of the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee, to the Chairman of Committees, dated 13 March 2012 Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee: proposed changes to name and Terms of Reference As you know, the Merits Committee has recently taken on a new function scrutinising public bodies orders under the procedures laid out in the 2011 Public Bodies Act. As a result of our discussions about our working practices and how we would approach this new scrutiny role, I am writing to seek the Procedure Committee’s approval to rename the Committee with effect from the start of the next session as the “Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee”; and to make two small changes to the Committee’s Terms of Reference. The Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee (or the “Merits Committee” as it is usually known) was named to reflect its original terms of reference: to consider instruments and draft instruments laid before the House with a view to determining whether or not to draw the instruments to the special attention of the House; or in shorthand, to look at the “merits of statutory instruments”. This specific phrase appears only in paragraph (5) of our Terms of Reference which gives the Committee the ability to undertake general enquiries. In carrying out our new role of scrutiny of public bodies orders we take a different approach to that taken on other delegated legislation. We do not look at the “merits” of public bodies orders, rather we are tasked with assessing such orders against a series of statutory tests set out in the 2011 Public Bodies Act and deciding whether to trigger the enhanced scrutiny procedure. We also take the view that the title “Merits Committee” is not altogether helpful in explaining publicly the role the Committee plays in the scrutiny of a wide range of statutory instruments and other items of delegated legislation which it falls to us to consider. The Committee chose the name Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee as transparent and easy to explain. I would also like to propose two consequential changes to the Committee’s terms of reference. These are to amend: (i) paragraph 1 to read “The Committee shall … scrutinise” (rather than “The Committee shall … consider”); and (ii) in paragraph 5 to read “The Committee shall also consider such other general matters relating to the effective scrutiny of secondary legislation” (rather than “The Committee shall also consider such other general matters relating to the effective scrutiny of the merits of statutory instruments”). The changes I am proposing to the Terms of Reference are shown marked up in the Annex to this letter. On behalf of the Committee, I would therefore like to request formally that from the start of the next session that: (a) the Committee is re-appointed as the “Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee”; and (b) that the two consequential amendments set out above are made to the Committee’s terms of reference. I hope that you and your Committee will feel able to recommend these changes to the House.

2259
Annex: amended terms of reference for the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee Deleted text is struck through; inserted text is bold. (1) The Committee shall, with the exception of those instruments in paragraphs (3) and (4), consider scrutinise— (c) every instrument (whether or not a statutory instrument), or draft of an instrument, which is laid before each House of Parliament and upon which proceedings may be, or might have been, taken in either House of Parliament under an Act of Parliament; (d) every proposal which is in the form of a draft of such an instrument and is laid before each House of Parliament under an Act of Parliament, with a view to determining whether or not the special attention of the House should be drawn to it on any of the grounds specified in paragraph (2). (2) The grounds on which an instrument, draft or proposal may be drawn to the special attention of the House are— (e) that it is politically or legally important or gives rise to issues of public policy likely to be of interest to the House; (f) that it may be inappropriate in view of changed circumstances since the enactment of the parent Act; (g) that it may inappropriately implement European Union legislation; (h) that it may imperfectly achieve its policy objectives. (3) The exceptions are— (b) remedial orders, and draft remedial orders, under section 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998; (c) draft orders under sections 14 and 18 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006, and subordinate provisions orders made or proposed to be made under the Regulatory Reform Act 2001; (d) Measures under the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act 1919 and instruments made, and drafts of instruments to be made, under them. (4) The Committee shall report on draft orders and documents laid before Parliament under section 11(1) of the Public Bodies Act 2011 in accordance with the procedures set out in sections 11(5) and (6). The Committee may also consider and report on any material changes in a draft order laid under section 11(8) of the Act. (5) The Committee shall also consider such other general matters relating to the effective scrutiny of the merits of statutory instruments secondary legislation and arising from the performance of its functions under paragraphs (1) to (4) as the Committee considers appropriate, except matters within the orders of reference of the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments. 26March

ADMINISTRATION AND WORKS COMMITTEE - 2ND REPORT 2010-12
1.
Introduction In our First Report (HL Paper 92), we reviewed the rules regulating the use of mobile telephones and other electronic devices in the House. That report recommended new rules for the use of such devices, which were agreed by the House on 10 March 2011. These new rules included a recommendation that, for a one-year trial period in the first instance, Members taking part in proceedings should be able to use hand-held electronic devices to access Parliamentary papers and other documents which are clearly and closely relevant to the business before the House or Grand Committee. We have now reviewed this trial and make further proposals for the use of electronic devices in the Chamber and Grand Committee. The House is invited to agree the text of the proposed new rules set out at the end of the report.

Current rules for Members In this report, we use the term “electronic devices” to refer collectively to mobile telephones and other electronic devices. The current rules regulating the use of electronic devices in the House, agreed by the House last year, are set out in the box below. 1. Hand-held electronic devices (not laptops) may be used in the Chamber and Grand Committee provided that they are silent, but repeated use of such devices is discouraged. Members making speeches may refer to electronic devices in place of paper speaking notes, subject to the existing rule against reading speeches. 2. Electronic devices may not be used to send or receive messages for use in proceedings. They may be used to access Parliamentary papers and other documents which are clearly and closely relevant to the business before the House or Grand Committee, but not to search the Web for information for use in debate which is not generally available to participants by other means. 3. Electronic devices may be used silently in select committee meetings, subject to the discretion of the Chairman of the committee on a meeting-by-meeting basis. 4. In the following areas of the House, electronic devices must be silent and may not be used to hold conversations: (i) Prince’s Chamber (ii) Peers’ Lobby (iii) Division lobbies during divisions (iv) Library (v) Salisbury Room (vi) Bars and restaurants.

Proposed rules for Members in the Chamber and Grand Committee Since the new rules were agreed, we have not received any representations about them and most Members have become accustomed to the use of electronic devices in the Chamber and Grand Committee. However, when our report was debated last year, some comments from Members suggested that there might be a degree of confusion around the interpretation of the rules, especially rule 2. Some questioned how it would be possible to define whether a piece of information is “generally available” to other participants and noted the difficulty of enforcing the rule. In October 2011, following the changes in this House, the House of Commons agreed a shorter and simpler resolution regulating the use of electronic devices, as follows: “That hand-held devices (not laptops) may be used in the Chamber, provided that they are silent, and used in a way that does not impair decorum, that Members making speeches in the Chamber or in committee may refer to electronic devices in place of paper speaking notes and that electronic devices, including laptops, may be used silently in committee meetings, including select committees.” (HC Deb, 13 Oct 2011, Col 515). The rules in the House of Commons are therefore less stringent, and allow electronic devices to be used for any purpose, so long as they do not impair

2012
decorum. Given that most Members seem to have accepted the use of electronic devices in the Chamber and Grand Committee, and the perceived uncertainty regarding the wording of rule number 2, we recommend that the rules should now be relaxed and simplified, along similar lines to the rules in the House of Commons. In particular, we recognise the fact that it is impossible for those taking part in a debate to know whether a piece of information being quoted has been obtained using an electronic device in the Chamber, or obtained elsewhere just before the debate began, so we consider that the rules on accessing information for use in debate should be relaxed. We therefore recommend that Members should be able to use hand-held electronic devices (not laptops) in the Chamber and Grand Committee for any purpose, provided that they are silent and are used with discretion. This includes using such devices to send or receive messages for use in proceedings, or to access information for use in debate. Revised wording is suggested in the summary box at the end of this report. Rules for officials in the Chamber and Grand Committee In November 2011, following a request from the Government Chief Whip, we also considered what rules should apply to officials using electronic devices while sitting in the officials’ box in the Chamber. We agreed that all officials (including civil servants, opposition advisers and House officials) should be able to use handheld electronic devices (not laptops) while sitting in the officials’ box in the Chamber, subject to the following rules: •
The devices must be silent.
•
The devices may not be used to send or receive messages for use in proceedings. However, they may be used to access Parliamentary papers and other documents which are clearly and closely relevant to the business before the House, but not to search the Web for information for use in debate which is not generally available to participants by other means.
•
For the avoidance of doubt, officials will be able to use the devices to access speaking notes and briefs related to the debate, but they will not be able to use the devices to send messages directly to the Front Bench.
The Committee agreed to review these rules again when the rules relating to Members were also reviewed. We have now done so and recommend that the rules for officials should also be relaxed, in line with those for Members. In particular, we feel that it is unnecessarily cumbersome to require officials to copy information by hand onto paper notes and then pass them to the Front Bench, when the information could be emailed directly much more quickly and efficiently. This would be no different from a backbench member, for example, receiving an email from their researcher containing information for use in debate. If the House agreed to this proposal for the Chamber, it would seem logical to extend the same rule to Grand Committee.

We therefore recommend that all officials (including civil servants, opposition advisers and House officials) should be able to use hand-held electronic devices for any purpose while sitting in the Chamber or Grand Committee, provided that such devices are silent and are used with discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, we recommend that it should be permissible for officials to use these devices to send or receive messages for use in proceedings and to access information for use in debate, and to use such devices to communicate directly with Members in the Chamber or Grand Committee. Conclusion In summary, we recommend that the following rules should be agreed. Rules 3 and 4 would remain the same as at present, but are included in the box below for completeness. If the House agrees this report, the Procedure Committee will be invited to amend the Companion when it is next updated. The Handbook on facilities and services for Members will also be revised accordingly. 1. Hand-held electronic devices (not laptops) may be used in the Chamber and Grand Committee for any purpose, provided that they are silent and are used with discretion. Members making speeches may refer to electronic devices in place of paper speaking notes, subject to the existing rule against reading speeches. 2. Members may use hand-held electronic devices to send or receive messages for use in proceedings. They may also be used to access documents and information for use in debate. 3. Electronic devices may be used silently in select committee meetings, subject to the discretion of the Chairman of the committee on a meeting-by-meeting basis. 4. In the following areas of the House, electronic devices must be silent and may not be used to hold conversations: (i) Prince’s Chamber (ii) Peers’ Lobby (iii) Division lobbies during divisions (iv) Library (v) Salisbury Room (vi) Bars and restaurants. 5. Officials (including civil servants, opposition advisers and House officials) may use hand-held electronic devices for any purpose while sitting in the Chamber or Grand Committee, provided that such devices are silent and are used with discretion.
