两名联合王国勋爵因涉及有偿接触官员的违反道德规定行为被停职4至5个月。
Two UK Lords suspended for four to five months over ethics breaches involving paid access to officials.
联合王国上议院的两名高级成员Richard Dannatt勋爵和Watford的David Evans勋爵在违反道德规则后分别面临4个月和5个月的停职,他们允许与政府官员接触,以换取经济利益。
Two senior members of the UK House of Lords, Lord Richard Dannatt and Lord David Evans of Watford, face suspensions of four and five months respectively after breaching ethical rules by offering access to government officials in exchange for financial gain.
得到上议院行为委员会支持的调查结果来自《卫报》的卧底报告,其中揭露了Dannatt讨论有偿议会服务,尽管没有直接付款;Evans为与他儿子有关系的一家公司推销活动,他在那里持有股份。
The findings, upheld by the Lords Conduct Committee, stem from undercover reporting by The Guardian, which revealed Dannatt discussing paid parliamentary services despite no direct payment, and Evans promoting events for a company tied to his son, where he held a stake.
双方都承认他们的行动达不到预期标准,因此,这两个同侪都对制裁提出上诉。
Neither peer appealed the sanctions, with both acknowledging their actions fell short of expected standards.
这些暂停须经下议院最后批准。
The suspensions require final approval by the House of Commons.
