Proceeding contribution from Lord Lemos (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 9 July 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Foreign Interference in UK Politics.
Foreign Interference in UK Politics
I never say “watch this space”—it is not my style—but the serious point that the noble Lord makes is absolutely right. Of course we should not allow individual cases of that sort. This is a properly regulated space. We are strengthening that regulation. Many of these matters, particularly in relation to the other place, are for the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards and the authorities in the other place. I would not seek to interfere with that in any way, but we will all read the papers, I am sure.
