Lord Geidt Sanctioned for Breaking Lobbying Rules

Boris Johnson's former ethics adviser, Lord Geidt, found to have breached House of Lords rules in a minor case of oversight.

Lord Geidt attended a meeting with Ministry of Defence officials on behalf of Theia Group Inc, breaking lobbying rules.
The House of Lords conduct committee concluded the breach was minor and resulted from an oversight.
Geidt, who previously cleared Boris Johnson in a spending inquiry, resigned over government's stance on Brexit.
Despite the breach, the Lords standards watchdog recommended only a letter of apology from Geidt.
The case highlights concerns over clarity in parliamentary service rules and the provision of services for payment.
