Motion Text

That this House expresses deep concern over the inclusion of London Assembly Member Shaun Bailey on the list of proposed peerages by the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson; notes that a party organised by Assembly Member Bailey’s mayoral campaign team is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police once again for allegedly breaching covid-19 regulations in December 2020; further regrets that an individual currently under police investigation is being given a seat in the nation’s legislature for life; and calls on the Government to bring forward primary legislation which would revoke Mr Bailey’s peerage.
