CONDUCT OF LORD BLACK OF CROSSHARBOUR

3 December 20037 Signatures

Motion Text

That this House notes that Lord Black of Crossharbour has admitted that, whilst Chief Executive of the media conglomerate Hollinger International, which publishes the Telegraph newspapers, he and other executives received unauthorised secret payments of ú19 million; and considers that although he is unlikely to face judicial process or penal sanctions, he should be regarded as a person unsuitable to sit in the House of Lords.
