Martin Lewis says he won't be re-applying to become a member of the House of Lords after his application to become a crossbench peer was turned down last year. The Money Saving Expert founder believed he may have been rejected as he couldn’t commit the time required for the role.
At the time the consumer champion said he would re-apply, but he has since changed his mind. Martin has admitted in an interview with The Telegraph that he isn't sure he would enjoy the role.
And the broadcaster also explained that he doesn't think being part of the House of Lords would make a difference to the influence he already has. “I won’t be applying for the House of Lords again. I’m not sure I would enjoy it,” said the Withington-born financial expert.
