Lord Sewel Busted!
- 9 years ago
Lord Sewel should resign or be expelled from the House of Lords, David Cameron has said after allegations that he snorted cocaine while cavorting with prostitutes.
There are "questions" as to whether the Labour peer is fit to sit in the Upper House despite him still being allowed to claim up to £300 a day in parliamentary allowances while any investigation is carried out.
"These are very serious allegations," the Prime Minister said.
"I think it's right he has stood down from his committee posts and I'm sure further questions will be asked about whether it is appropriate to have someone legislating and acting in the House of Lords if they have genuinely behaved in this way
