前议长德索萨男爵夫人因使用官方信纸写信给大都会警察局长，寻求对导致她被禁止驾驶的超速定罪宽大处理，而面临上议院停职八周的处罚。 Baroness D’Souza, former Lord Speaker, faces an eight-week suspension from the House of Lords for using official stationery to write to the Metropolitan Police chief seeking leniency on speeding convictions that led to her driving ban. 标准委员会认为她的行动不适当,理由是她滥用影响和绕过法律程序,尽管她声称农村与世隔绝,对速度检测准确性感到关切。 The standards committee found her actions inappropriate, citing misuse of influence and bypassing legal process, despite her claims of rural isolation and concerns over speed detection accuracy. 委员会承认她毫无瑕疵的记录和刑罚的严厉性,但维持了暂停的决定,以维护公众对议会的信任。 While acknowledging her unblemished record and the severity of the penalty, the committee upheld the suspension to preserve public trust in Parliament. 她已提出上诉,称制裁过于严厉。 She has appealed, calling the sanction unduly harsh. 有待作出最后决定。 A final decision is pending.
