House of Lords in London enforces political transparency - Russia and China in particular

Crackdown on lords in pay of Russians and Chinese

Peers must come clean about ‘red money’

Peers in the House of Lords face having to declare the full extent of their Russian and Chinese business interests

The Sunday Times of London report:

LONDON- Ministers are to launch a sweeping clean-up of public life in an effort to stem the tide of “red money” from Russia and China swirling through parliament, lobbying firms and the City.

In a two-pronged assault on what some are calling “the new Cold War”, the government is backing a change in House of Lords rules to force peers to declare the full extent of their Russian and Chinese business interests.

Ministers also plan to introduce an espionage law to crack down on foreign spies working for banks and other businesses in Britain.

Legislation has been drawn up to make it easier to kick foreign intelligence officers out of the country, even if they are here on legitimate visas.
