Newspaper owner made peer by Boris Johnson has only attended once in last year and did not speak or vote
Evgeny Lebedev, the newspaper owner made a peer by Boris Johnson, has burnished his reputation as one of the more relaxed members of the House of Lords by marking a full year since he last formally contributed to proceedings in the chamber.
The crossbench peer, who has spoken just once in the Lords and never voted, submitted two written questions to ministers on 21 February last year, but has shown no signs of action since.
