Lord Young says he was not asleep in Lords

On March 14, Lord Young was accused of sleeping in the Chamber of the House of Lords.

He said he actually listened to the debate with his ear on one of the speakers set into the bank. He said today he had his hearing aid batteries installed so he doesn’t need to rely on the speaker.

He added he wanted to “set the record straight” and accused the government whip of Lady Bloomfield “rudely dismissing him” and said the event had damaged his reputation and that of the House of Lords.
