Baroness Ramsey faces questions over whether she had 'concocted a story' to mislead her fellow peers after her emotionally charged speech earlier this month
Sir Keir Starmer's former ethics adviser faces an investigation by the parliamentary authorities after being accused of lying during a House of Lords debate about Labour's plans to slap VAT on private-school fees.
'My daughter pressed her face up to the wire fence, gazing at the endless fields stretched out in front of her for the benefit of the one in 15, and thought that that was not fair,' she told the Lords. The complainant says Baroness Ramsey, who is married to Jonathan Slater, former chief civil servant at the Department for Education, could only have been referring to Charter School North Dulwich and the neighbouring private James Allen's Girls' School
