    Cash for access: Lords exposed

    'Make that £12,000 a month and I think we've got a deal'

    Lord Cunningham asked for a fee of £144,000 a year to provide a personal lobbying service

    PEERS have been caught offering to ask parliamentary questions, lobby ministers and host events

    on the House of Lords terrace for cash by The Sunday Times.

    Three were secretly filmed by reporters revealing their willingness to flout rules banning them

    from using their power and influence in parliament for paying clients.

    Lord Cunningham, Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgate and Lord Laird offered to become paid

    advocates for a firm pushing for new laws to benefit its business. They also said they could set up an all-party

    parliamentary group as a lobbying vehicle.
