Labour peer Waheed Alli has been found to have breached Parliament’s rules after openDemocracy revealed he had failed to declare business interests.

The House of Lords standard commissioner launched a probe into Alli’s interests earlier this month, after an investigation by this website showed the Labour peer had not included a directorship at Mac (BVI) Limited on his register of interests.

All peers are expected to disclose any business interests under transparency rules. openDemocracy’s findings were today confirmed by the standards commissioner, who published a report saying Alli had broken the rules.
