Rishi Sunak says it is “right” that the peer has taken a leave of absence from the House of Lords.

Rishi Sunak said he was “shocked” to read allegations about Baroness Mone and it was “absolutely right” that she is no longer attending the Lords.

The peer is taking a leave of absence amid claims she benefited from a firm she recommended for a Covid contract.

Asked about the allegations at Prime Minister’s Questions, Mr Sunak said she “no longer has the Conservative whip”.

A spokesperson for the peer said: “Baroness Mone’s legal team are dealing with this witch-hunt situation.”

Downing Street said not having the Tory whip was an automatic consequence of her requesting a leave of absence from the House of Lords.
