Why Can't Baroness Mone Be Forced Out Of The House Of Lords?

[barney15c]

I've read stories that say she can't be forced out of the HOL , why not? Fred "The Shred" Goodwin of RBS was forced out , what makes her circumstances any different? Maybe the rules of taking a peerage away from someone should be updated, as it stands even if she never sits in the HOL again she retains her title, how can that be right?

Becaise she's done nothing wrong apparently. 🙄

The honours forfeiture committee has no powers in respect of peerages.  (Fred Goodwin only held a knighthood).  It would require an Act of Parliament to strip someone of a peerage:

Her name is mud now anyway

same reason any Lord cannot be forced out. Fred Goodwin was not a Lord.

Why is this greedy woman  a Baroness? Is she married to a Baron??

Not a real Baron, just a pantomime villain ... Baron Notatall Hardup

Guilty before Proven in many of your books? I bet she hopes that you're not on her jury if it ever makes it to trial - as to why she's a Baroness, she ran a highly successful lingerie business.....

yes he was the head of a PLC and she is an appointed member of one of houses in the legislature

other wise exactly the same.

or....misbehaviour not envisaged by the Life Peerages Act ( as amended)

or

courts and houes of parliament are separate ( Bill of Rights 1689)
