【UK Labour Party House of Lords Member Apologizes for Promoting Cryptocurrency Company Violations】Golden Finance reports that Iain McNicol, former General Secretary of the UK Labour Party and current House of Lords member, publicly apologized for violating parliamentary conduct rules. An investigation revealed that McNicol sent a letter to the Treasury in June 2023 promoting the cryptocurrency company Astra Protocol while he was receiving a monthly consulting fee from the company. The House of Lords Commissioner for Standards, Margaret Obi, determined that this constituted "providing paid parliamentary services," which violated the code of conduct for members.
