Baroness Uddin and Lord Paul. Where is their annulment?

Interesting that nobody is calling for peers who were caught committing fraud to be kicked out of the HoL.

They should be in jail.

I read somewhere yesterday that peerages cannot be annulled like a knighthood.

I agree, rather hypocritical to remove Fred's Knighthood, and all those knighted Charlatan MP's and peers who helped themselves to taxpayers money, get to keep their honours. Let's not even start on the likes of Lord Archer who is a convicted criminal and gets to keep his titles.

As I wrote some days ago on the other thread...........

The reason that Archole survives as a Lord is that unlike knighthoods peerages can't be forfeited. Those with long memories will recall Lord Kagan of Gannex fame who received a knighthood and then a peerage from his buddy Harold Wilson. He was then convicted for theft and was stripped of his knighthood but remained a peer.
