An inquiry has been initiated into Conservative peer Ian Duncan for allegedly breaching parliamentary conduct rules while advising Terrestrial Energy, a Canadian nuclear firm. He allegedly facilitated a meeting between the company's chief executive and a UK government minister to lobby for increased funding. This investigation is part of a broader scrutiny of House of Lords members following revelations about their commercial interests, with other peers also under investigation. The rules prohibit peers from profiting through their parliamentary roles, and Duncan has denied any misconduct.
The House of Lords watchdog is investigating Conservative peer Ian Duncan for facilitating a meeting between a government minister and Terrestrial Energy, a company he advised.
Duncan is the fourth peer facing scrutiny for potential breaches of parliamentary conduct rules ahead of the Guardian's investigation into commercial interests of Lords members.
