Twenty-four members of the House of Lords broke rules by failing to declare details of companies they run, it has been found.

The official ruling comes after an investigation by openDemocracy into one of the widest-scale breaches ever exposed.

The lords include Tory donor Lord Bamford, ‘The Apprentice’ star Alan Sugar, and the creator of Downton Abbey Julian Fellowes.
