Lord Paul quits while Baroness Uddin “forgets” to declare £20,000 gift Lord Swaraj Paul after the extensive controversy of expenses claims has resigned on Tuesday as the Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords. Lord Paul said, although he had “reservations” about the decision to suspend him, he had accepted it in keeping with the traditions of parliamentary practice and decided to step down as Deputy Speaker in order to uphold “parliamentary conventions and proprieties”. In a letter to the Speaker, Lord Paul said, “I have decided to resign despite the fact that the Committee for Privileges and Conduct and, indeed the House itself, has cleared me of any dishonesty and bad faith. Although I have several reservations, I have accepted the suspension imposed upon me in keeping with the traditions of parliamentary practice.” Continued on page 2

7 Indian Americans in the poll fray

Lord Swaraj Paul

Baroness Pola Uddin

The mid term Congressional polls saw a record number of Indian Americans in the fray, more than half a dozen. The outcome of the polls will be something that the Indian American community will be watching with

keen interest, as barring one, all are Democrats. The community also is hoping that the House of Representatives will have more than one person from amongst them. Continued on page 24
