THE House of Lords spent thousands of pounds on the upkeep of peers’ robes and other formal attire in the past 12 months.
Tommy Sheppard MP, the SNP’s constitution spokesperson, criticised the use of taxpayers’ money on Lords “playing medieval dress up”.
The news comes from a Freedom of Information (FOI) request shared with The National which asked Westminster’s upper house for details on the cost of upkeeping the formal dress its members use.
