Cameron broke convention when he made Michelle Mone a peer, says Tory MP

David Mundell says Scotland Office was not consulted about Mone’s 2015 appointment

• Michelle Mone: leading entrepreneur, or lucky baroness?

David Cameron breached “proper process” when he appointed Michelle Mone to the House of Lords in 2015, David Mundell, who was the secretary for Scotland at the time, has said.

Mundell, the Conservative MP for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale, said Lord Cameron appointed Mone without Downing Street consulting the government’s Scotland Office, which is standard practice before awarding peerages to Scots.
