Removing disgraced peers Lord Taylor of Blackburn and Lord Truscott from the House of Lords

Michael McCarthy made this Freedom of Information request to Cabinet Office

The request was successful.

From: Michael McCarthy

14 May 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

Given that Lord Taylor of Blackburn and Lord Truscott have been
found guilty by a parliamentary inquiry of offering to try to
change the law in return for money, I'd like to know if the honours
forfeiture committee chaired by Sir Gus O'Donnell has any plans to
meet to consider removing their titles so as to preclude any
further possibility of their engaging in such manifestly corrupt
behaviour.

Yours etc.,
Michael McCarthy
