Ex-Boris Johnson ethics adviser Lord Geidt found to have broken Lords rules

Christopher Geidt asked to write apology letter after joining an MoD meeting on behalf of a US satellite firm that was paying him

A crossbench peer and former ethics adviser to Boris Johnson has been found to have broken House of Lords rules by joining a meeting with Ministry of Defence officials on behalf of a US satellite company that was paying him.

Christopher Geidt, a former royal aide to the Queen, was asked by the House of Lords conduct committee to write a letter of apology after the standards commissioner found he provided a parliamentary service in return for payment or other reward".
