Tory peer cleared for second time of breaking lobbying rules over PPE contracts

Watchdog says there is insufficient evidence Lord Chadlington breached rules over 50m in contracts

A Conservative peer has been cleared of breaking lobbying rules for a second time by the House of Lords watchdog over introducing a company that was awarded government PPE contracts worth 50m.

The watchdog had been asked to reopen his investigation into Lord Chadlington after it emerged that there was an exchange with the government that had not been fully provided to his first inquiry.
