Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hoey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 May 2016. It occurred during e-petition debate on EU Referendum Leaflet.


EU Referendum Leaflet

The hon. Gentleman mentioned EU pensions, which is something that really bugs me. There are all those Members in the House of Lords who have worked for the European Union as commissioners and so on and now have big pensions—really, they are signed up to never bringing the European Union into disrepute. Does he agree not only that should they have to declare an interest, which they do not, but that they should not be allowed to take part or vote in anything to do with the European Union? They are deeply committed to it because of their huge pensions and if they say anything wrong they might get that taken away.
