Baroness faces three-week suspension for inappropriate behavior in Rwanda

Baroness Catherine Meyer is facing a three-week suspension from the House of Lords for inappropriate behavior. She called Lord Dholakia "Lord Poppadom" during a trip to Rwanda and touched MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy's hair without consent. The conduct report confirmed that Lady Meyer referred to Lord Dholakia in a derogatory manner and acknowledged touching Ribeiro-Addy's hair, claiming it was meant as a friendly gesture. The report highlighted the degrading implications of her actions. While the complaints committee found no abuse of power, they deemed her behavior unwanted and unwarranted. The committee recommended a suspension and behavior training for Lady Meyer.
