Therefore they are in breach of section 1082 of the Companies Act 2006. This can cause false non-match errors in audit and KYC software. This puts the public at risk of money laundering and other serious organised crime. Further investigation is required.

Letter to Baroness Mallalieu
Urgent Appeal: Rejection of the Revised Code of Conduct - Your Vote is Critical
Dear Baroness Mallalieu,
I am writing to you with profound concern about the proposed Revised Code of Conduct for the House of Lords. As a member of this chamber, your decisions in the coming days will have lasting consequences for transparency and accountability. I urge you to recognize the gravity of the situation and the potential for irreversible damage to public trust.
I am the author of the formal complaints about Lord Alli, Baroness Morgan of Huyton and others that this House has had to investigate. My ongoing assessment has revealed a pattern of undisclosed interests, lax enforcement, and a worrying disregard for basic legal obligations. It's clear that certain elements within the House are seeking to weaken the Code of Conduct, to further make non-compliance easier.
It is not a coincidence that changes to the Code, particularly those relating to non-financial interests and spousal declarations, directly address the loopholes that I have been highlighting through my public reporting and formal complaints. It is with this report that I am requesting members take my report seriously.
This attempt to gut the Code of Conduct is not an isolated event; it is a deliberate effort to shield members from scrutiny and accountability.
While the removal of spouses’ directorships and positions as Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) and non-financial interests does create a gaping loophole. The proposed Revised Code of Conduct creates loopholes that could undermine the Companies Act 2006. Directors have a legal duty to declare their interests, a duty designed to prevent fraud and money laundering. The revised code is therefore undermining transparency to prevent financial misconduct.
Fraud is the most frequently reported crime, and estimates suggest it cost the UK £200 billion in 2024. With figures like that, we need better measures to protect our citizens. The changes proposed will make the House much weaker to money laundering.
The fact is our government has the power to make sure citizens are protected. To have our members in a position of knowingly acting against that, this should be a point of alarm.
In light of these circumstances, I implore you to reject the Revised Code and make the changes.
I respectfully ask you to consider the enormous ethical responsibility that you have been given as members of the House of Lords.
Please find my Compliance Assessment of the Revised Code of Conduct and my draft Compliance Assessment of the members of the Conduct Committee, at the following link: https://open.substack.com/pub/alisonwright/p/compliance-assessment-of-the-house?r=15h096&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false.

The following analysis is new to version 2 of this report.
Comparison between the Register of Interest and details in Companies House
Based on the information provided, here is a comparison of Baroness Mallalieu's Register of Interests with her directorships in Companies House:
Discrepancies and Observations
1. Racing Welfare:
Companies House: Resigned Director, appointed on 27 March 2009, resigned on 12 June 2018.
Register of Interests: Trustee, interest ceased 12 June 2018 (originally added 13 April 2010).
Register of Charities: Resigned trustee appointments are not show in the Register of Charities: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/3972107/trustees. Trustee Jonathan Lancelot Eddis is flagged for overdue reporting of another charity, Racing Industry Accident Benefit Scheme. By association, the current trustees are also in breach of the Charities Act,.
Observations:
Delayed Registration: Baroness Mallalieu was appointed as a director on 27 March 2009 but did not update her Register of Interests until 13 April 2010. This delay constitutes prior non-compliance and undermines transparency.
Failure to Declare Directorship: The Register lists her as a trustee only, whereas Companies House records her as a director. The omission of her directorship violates the requirement to declare all relevant interests. Non-compliant.
Material Omission in Group Accounts: Baroness Mallalieu is listed as a director and trustee in Group of companies' accounts made up to 31 December 2017. However, her name and resignation date were omitted from the Trustees and Directors listed in the Group of companies' accounts made up to 31 December 2018. The accounts are available within the filing history at Companies House (RACING WELFARE filing history - Find and update company information - GOV.UK (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04116279/filing-history?page=2). (See image.)
The omission of Barnoness Mallalieu in the Group of companies' accounts made up to 31 December 2018 is a material omission that means that the Group of companies' accounts made up to 31 December 2018. This omission breaches the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2006. Non compliant.
Resignation Date Accuracy: The Register correctly notes her resignation as a trustee on 12 June 2018 but fails to mention her resignation as a director on the same date. This discrepancy undermines transparency and accountability. Non-compliant.
Charities Act Breach:
The Register of Charities does not show resigned trustee appointments, and trustee Jonathan Lancelot Eddis is flagged for overdue reporting in another charity. This suggests that the current trustees, including Baroness Mallalieu, may be in breach of the Charities Act.
Conclusion:
Baroness Mallalieu's failure to declare her directorship of Racing Welfare, delayed registration, and material omissions in group accounts constitute breaches of the Code of Conduct and regulatory requirements under the Companies Act and Charities Act. These discrepancies compromise transparency, erode public trust, and raise concerns about compliance with ethical standards.
This analysis highlights significant breaches and provides a clear basis for further investigation into Baroness Mallalieu's compliance with registration requirements.
2. British Horseracing Authority Limited:
Companies House: Resigned Director, appointed on 1 May 2004, resigned on 30 July 2007.
Register of Interests: No mention of this directorship.
Observations:
Failure to Register Interest: Baroness Mallalieu did not declare her directorship of British Horseracing Authority Limited in her Register of Interests. This omission violates the requirement to declare all relevant interests under the Lords' Code of Conduct. Non-compliant.
Transparency and Accountability Risks: The omission undermines transparency and accountability, as it prevents proper scrutiny of her affiliations and potential conflicts of interest during her tenure as a director.
Potential for Misuse: Without proper disclosure, this omission could lead to ambiguity regarding her role and influence in the organization, potentially raising concerns about the integrity of her parliamentary duties.
Conclusion:
Baroness Mallalieu's failure to declare her directorship in British Horseracing Authority Limited constitutes a breach of the Lords' Code of Conduct. This omission compromises transparency, accountability, and public trust, necessitating further investigation and corrective action
3. The Countryside Alliance Foundation:
Companies House: Resigned Director, appointed on 9 January 2006, resigned on 19 June 2007.
Register of Interests: President, Countryside Alliance (originally added 13 April 2010).
Observations:
Undeclared Directorship: Baroness Mallalieu failed to declare her directorship in The Countryside Alliance Foundation in her Register of Interests. This omission is a clear breach of the requirement to maintain accurate and complete records. Non-compliant.
Misleading Entry: Her Register of Interests lists her as President of the Countryside Alliance. The entry could be misleading and potentially used to authorise illegitimate transactions in the name of "Countryside Alliance." Non-compliant.
Lack of Clarification: The entry should include "ex-officio" to clarify that she is not a signatory to bank accounts, improving transparency and preventing potential misuse of her role.
Companies House Issues: There are concerns regarding the registration of companies with similar names, including a potential breach of Section 66 of the Companies Act 2006 by registering the same name twice. This may require further investigation.
A search on the name “Countryside Alliance”, returns two companies, one that currently uses this name and one that was previously called “Countryside Alliance:
“COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE 05227778 - Incorporated on 10 September 2004
China Works Black Prince Road, Vauxhall, London, England, SE1 7SJ
Private Limited Company by guarantee without share capital use of 'Limited' exemption Incorporated on 10 September 2004” and
"COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE INSURANCE SERVICES LIMITED Matching previous names: COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE 2004 · COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE 03425827 - Dissolved on 10 March 2020 1 Spring Mews, Tinworth Street, London, SE11 5AN
Private limited Company Incorporated on 28 August 1997 Accounts Last accounts made up to 31 December 2017 Nature of business (SIC) 94990 - Activities of other membership organisations not elsewhere classified Previous company names COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE 2004 LIMITED 07 Sep 2004 - 20 Jan 2006 COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE LIMITED 28 Aug 1997 - 07 Sep 2004
Accounts made up to 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019 and to dissolution on 10 March 2020 are overdue. This is a breach of the Companies Act 2006 by the directors of Countryside Alliance Insurance Services Limited. Non-compliant.
Countryside Alliance Insurance Brokers Services Limited was named COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE LIMITED between 28 Aug 1997 - 07 Sep 2004. The current company, COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE, was incorporated just three days after COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE LIMITED changed its name to COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE 2004 LIMITED. This raises concerns about potential confusion and misuse of similar names.
Potential Breach of Companies Act 2006: The registration of the same name twice in the Companies House registry by the current officers of COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE may constitute a breach of Section 66 of the Companies Act 2006. This could necessitate a police investigation into the financial records of the officers involved.
Additionally, in the search results, another company with a name that includes “Countryside Alliance”, is noted:
“COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE FOUNDATION TRADING LIMITED 15571711 - Incorporated on 17 March 2024
China Works Black Prince Road, Vauxhall, London, England, SE1 7SJ”
The overview records: “Nature of business (SIC) 47910 - Retail sale via mail order houses or via Internet”.
COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE FOUNDATION TRADING LIMITED persons with significant control 1 active person with significant control / 0 active statements The Countryside Alliance Foundation
The filing history of THE COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE FOUNDATION fails to disclose its role as the person with significant control of a subsidiary called Countryside Alliance Trading Limited. Breach: This omission constitutes a breach of Section 790M of the Companies Act 2006, which requires companies to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of persons with significant control (PSCs) and to notify the registrar of changes.
Conclusion:
Baroness Mallalieu's failure to declare her directorship in The Countryside Alliance Foundation and the misleading entry in her Register of Interests compromise transparency and accountability. These discrepancies, combined with potential breaches of the Companies Act 2006 related to company name registration and disclosure of persons with significant control, necessitate further investigation and corrective action to ensure compliance with ethical standard.
4. The Horse Trust:
Companies House: Resigned Director, appointed on 29 January 1998, resigned on 17 December 2001.
Register of Interests: President, The Horse Trust (originally added 13 April 2010).
Register of Charities: There is no record for a charity named “The Horse Trust” (https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/results/page/1/delta/20/keywords/the+horse+trust).
Observations:
Undeclared interest: Baroness Mallalieu failed to declare her directorship in The Horse Trust when it was current, from 29 January 1998 to 17 December 2001. This omission is a breach of the requirement to maintain accurate and complete records. Non-compliant.
Misleading entry: Her Register of Interests lists her as President since 13 April 2010, but Companies House records her as a former director. The entry as President is potentially misleading and could be used to authorize illegitimate transactions in the name of The Horse Trust. Non-compliant.
Lack of Clarification: The entry should include "ex-officio" to clarify that she is not a signatory to bank accounts, improving transparency and preventing potential misuse of her role.
Conclusion:
Baroness Mallalieu's failure to declare her directorship in The Horse Trust and the misleading entry in her Register of Interests compromise transparency and accountability. These discrepancies potentially breach the Code of Conduct and deviate from the Nolan Principles, necessitating further clarification and corrective action to ensure compliance with ethical standards.
5. The Suzy Lamplugh Trust:
Companies House: Resigned Director, appointed on 15 October 1996, resigned on 12 October 2000.
Register of Interests: No mention of this directorship.
Observations:
Undeclared Interest: Baroness Mallalieu failed to declare her directorship in The Suzy Lamplugh Trust when it was current. This omission is a breach of the requirement to maintain accurate and complete records. Non-compliant.
Transparency and Accountability Risks: The lack of disclosure undermines transparency and accountability, as it prevents proper scrutiny of her affiliations and potential conflicts of interest during her tenure as a director.
Potential for Misuse: Without proper disclosure, this omission could lead to ambiguity regarding her role and influence in the organization, potentially raising concerns about the integrity of her parliamentary duties.
Conclusion:
Baroness Mallalieu's failure to declare her directorship in The Suzy Lamplugh Trust constitutes a breach of the Code of Conduct. This omission compromises transparency, accountability, and public trust, necessitating further investigation and corrective action to ensure compliance with ethical standards.
Summary of Breaches by Baroness Mallalieu
Baroness Mallalieu's Register of Interests contains several discrepancies and omissions compared to her directorships as recorded in Companies House. Specifically, she failed to declare her directorships in British Horseracing Authority Limited, The Countryside Alliance Foundation, and The Suzy Lamplugh Trust. Additionally, her entries for Racing Welfare and The Horse Trust were inaccurate.
Undeclared Directorships (Category 1):
British Horseracing Authority Limited: Not listed in her Register of Interests despite being a director from 1 May 2004 to 30 July 2007.
The Countryside Alliance Foundation: Not listed as a director, though she was appointed from 9 January 2006 to 19 June 2007. Her Register lists her as President of the Countryside Alliance, which could be misleading as it does not make clear that this is an ex-officio appointment, so she cannot place orders or make transactions on behalf of this company.
The Suzy Lamplugh Trust: Not listed despite being a director from 15 October 1996 to 12 October 2000.
Incomplete Entries :
Racing Welfare: Listed as a trustee, though Companies House records her as a director from 27 March 2009 to 12 June 2018.
The Horse Trust: Listed as President, though she was a former director appointed on 29 January 1998, resigned on 17 December 2001.
Additional Concerns with Countryside Alliance:
Baroness Mallalieu's role as President of the Countryside Alliance raises concerns, as she is not listed as a director of this organization in Companies House. The Countryside Alliance Foundation, a related entity, has issues with its registration and compliance, including potential breaches of the Companies Act 2006. These issues could reflect poorly on Baroness Mallalieu's oversight and responsibility as President of the Countryside Alliance.
Conclusion:
These breaches and discrepancies compromise transparency and accountability, potentially undermining public trust in the House of Lords. The lack of clarity and potential for misuse of her roles, especially in relation to the Countryside Alliance, necessitate further investigation and corrective action to ensure compliance with ethical standards.
Succinct summary: Baroness Mallalieu's breaches involve several directorships and interests. She failed to declare her directorships in British Horseracing Authority Limited, The Countryside Alliance Foundation, The Horse Trust, and The Suzy Lamplugh Trust. Additionally, her entry for Racing Welfare was inaccurate, listing her as a trustee instead of a director. The Countryside Alliance Foundation has issues with its registration and compliance, including potential breaches of the Companies Act 2006. These omissions and inaccuracies constitute breaches of the Lords' Code of Conduct, compromising transparency and accountability. Furthermore, her role as President of the Countryside Alliance and The Horse Trust was misleadingly presented, potentially allowing for misuse of these roles. These discrepancies necessitate further investigation and corrective action to ensure compliance with ethical standards.

Birth records of Ann Mallalieu, Patricia Ann Mallalieu and Margaret Anne Mallalieu
Freebmd (www.freebmd.org.uk) is a open source provider of births, marriages and deaths information. It is the best freely available resource for researching such records,. However, there is no warranty whatsoever as to the accuracy or completeness of the FreeBMD data.
A search for birth registration records with the surname “Mallalieu” located a record that matches Baroness Ann Mallalieu’s birth month and year, which is recorded in Companies House as November 1945 and registered in December 1945. The record reads:
“Births Dec 1945 (>99%)
Surname Given Name Mother District Volume Page
Mallalieu Ann Tinn Portsmouth 2b 770”.
There is no birth record provided for a Patricia Ann Mallalieu registered in 1949.
There is a birth record for “Patricia A Mallalieu” registered in December 1943 which is copied below.
“Surname Given Name Mother District Volume Page
Births Dec 1943 (>99%)
MALLALIEU Patricia A. Crossley Manchester 8d 521”
There is no birth record with the name Margaret Anne Mallalieu registered in the 1940s.
Analysis:
Potential Mistake or Misrepresentation: The lack of a birth record for Patricia Ann Mallalieu in 1949 suggests either a mistake in her Companies House registration or a misrepresentation of her birth date. Since the same date of birth is associated to two unique identifiers in Companies House it is unlikely to be a mistake.
Potential Relationship: Without a matching birth record, it is speculative to determine if Ann Mallalieu and Patricia Ann Mallalieu are related, such as sisters. However, the absence of a record for Patricia Ann Mallalieu raises questions about the accuracy of her registered details. and the possibility that Patricia Ann Mallalieu and Ann Mallalieu are the same person.
Margaret Anne Mallalieu: There is no birth registration for Margaret Anne Mallalieu in the 1940s. This could indicate another potential pseudonym for Ann Mallaieu or an error in the records.
Conclusion:
The discrepancies in birth records highlight potential issues with data accuracy and raise questions about the identities of Ann Mallalieu, Patricia Ann Mallalieu and Margaret Anne Mallalieu. Further investigation is needed to clarify these discrepancies and ensure compliance with legal standards.

Patricia Ann Mallalieu Identity 1:
Address: Covey Clough Cottage, 23 Hopton Hall Lane, Mirfield, West Yorkshire, WF14 8E.
Appointments: 3, including roles in Alliance Training (UK) Limited and The Silver-Lining Cricketers Syndicate Ltd.
Breaches:
Duplicate Identities: The existence of two identities for Patricia Ann Mallalieu violates Section 1082 of the Companies Act 2006, which requires individuals to maintain a single unique identifier in Companies House records.
Failure to File Accounts: Both Alliance Training (UK) Limited and The Silver-Lining Cricketers Syndicate Ltd failed to submit accounts before dissolution, breaching Section 441 of the Companies Act. This oversight indicates a lack of compliance with financial reporting requirements.
Potential for Misuse: The presence of duplicate identities and non-compliance with financial reporting could facilitate misuse of these identities for fraudulent purposes or conceal financial irregularities.
Conclusion:
The duplicate identities for Patricia Ann Mallalieu and the failure to file accounts for Alliance Training (UK) Limited and The Silver-Lining Cricketers Syndicate Ltd constitute breaches of the Companies Act 2006. These discrepancies compromise transparency and accountability, potentially allowing for misuse of these identities. If Patricia Ann Mallalieu is found to be the same person as Baroness Ann Mallalieu, it could raise significant concerns about conflicts of duty and breaches of separation of duties, necessitating further investigation.

Her posts provides a link to the website for her company Be Inspired Training, which is explored in “Company Investigations”, below.
Observations
Lack of Transparency: Patricia Mallalieu's profile omits her past roles with Alliance Training (UK) Limited and The Silver-Lining Cricketers Syndicate Ltd (Identity 1), as well as her current directorships in Teal and Tweed Ltd and Onwards & Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd (Identity 2). This raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and incomplete disclosure of her professional history.
Activity Pattern: Her LinkedIn posts from 3-4 years ago primarily advertised Be Inspired Training courses. Recent activity focuses on commenting on sports cars, with occasional mentions of racehorses.
Potential Connection to Baroness Mallalieu:
Shared interests in horses and racing align with Baroness Ann Mallalieu's involvement in companies like Horse Trust and British Horse Racing Authority Limited.
Visual comparison of available images suggests a significant likeness between Patricia Anne Mallalieu and Baroness Ann Mallalieu, including facial features and eye shape, accounting for potential age differences at time of photo and photo angles.
Further Investigation Required: Given the similarities in interests and appearance, it is crucial to determine whether Patricia Ann Mallalieu and Baroness Ann Mallalieu are related or potentially the same person. This requires additional verification and investigation.
Company investigations:
1. Teal and Tweed
This company was established recently, five months ago. A website was not located. An internet search locates results referring to Teal Tweed fabric, used for making suits in associated mills. There are no other companies with a similar name registered in Companies House, the Register of Charities and the Mutuals Public Register.
There is a Registered Society called Teal Self Build Housing Associations Limited, which may not be associated, however significant anomalies were found so the information located is reproduced and discussed below:
“Teal Self Build Housing Association Limited
Status: Deregistered
Registration Number: 26476 R
Address: 95 High Street, Haverhill, Suffolk, CB9 8AN
Registration Date 23 February 1989
Registration Act Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014
Deregistration Date 16/05/1995”.
This society, like Teal and Tweed Ltd was also registered in Haverhill, Suffolk, from 1989 to 1995. There is an anomaly in the record as the following fields are empty; Transferred to Society/Company Number, Transferred to Society/Company Name, Transfer Method. This a breach of the legislation relating to Mutuals.
A search was made in Companies House on TEAL SELF BUILD HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED, (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/search?q=Teal+Self+Build+Housing+Association+Limited). The Companies House records the following information “TEAL SELF BUILD HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED IP26476R - Converted/Closed”, which is consistent.
The search in Companies House locates hundreds on companies with “Self Build Housing Association” in common. Almost all of these are Converted/Closed. However, there are some still active. These include:
“BETHNAL GREEN SELF BUILD HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED
IP14317R
BROMSGROVE SELF - BUILD HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED
IP23766R
CALEDONIAN (SELF BUILDER) HOUSING ASSOCIATION (FRASERBURGH) LIMITED
IP01946R
CHESTER SELF BUILD HOUSING ASSOCIATIONLIMITED
IP22563R
CHILDERN SELF BUILD HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED
IP19215R”
Companies House does not hold details on these companies, “Refer to the Financial Conduct Authority Mutuals Public Register for further information about this company”.
However, the Mutuals Public Register provides no additional details for any of these active companies. No address is provided.
This is a breach as Mutual companies should be registered and the information publicly available. The companies are registered but records are not available, the address is not provided.
The common naming strategy of these Mutuals suggests, on the balance of probability, that they are associated. It is a breach of the requirement for transparency in the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 that these records are not available for public scrutiny and a potential risk to the public’s best interest.
Teal and Tweed Ltd is registered in Haverhill and so too is Teal Self Build Housing Association. Discovery is required through publication of Teal Self Build Housing Associations records and clarification is requested of whether or not Patricia Mallalieu is associated to Teal Self Build Housing Association as this could represent a further conflict of interest.
2. Onwards & Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd:
Incorporation Date: 4 October 2022.
Nature of Business: Other activities of employment placement agencies (SIC 78109).
Address: 13 Church Street, Withersfield, Haverhill, England, CB9 7SG.
No website was located for “Onwards and Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd in an internet search. However, a website was located for a charity called “Onwards & Upwards”, which aims to employ a potentially vulnerable group of the population, ex-offenders, HOME | Onwards & Upwards (https://www.onwardsandupwards.uk/). From the website Onwards & Upwards appears to be a significant concern as it claims sponsorship from the following sponsors, donors and partners:
“SPONSORS & DONORS: 587
Sponsors Logos for: The Weavers Company, The Clothworkers’ Company, Worshipful Guild of Drapers, Garfield Weston Foundation, Leathersellers Company Charitable Fund, Banham Foundation, The Hardman Trust, GKR Scaffolding Limited, Cyan Partners, Portal Trust, 29th May 1961 Charitable Trust, William Wates Memorial Trust, The Headley Trust, The Tom Af Rhys Pryce Memorial Trust, Hiscox Foundation UK, Goldman Sachs, Sainsbury’s, Greggs, Squire Lockmakers since 1789, Serco, Park Tool Community Tool Grant, The Woodward Charitable Trust

UK CHARITY No. 1194457”
Observations:
Goldman Sachs sponsors is Onwards & Upwards and is also a regular sponsor of Baroness Manningham-Buller, funding twelve speaking engagements in ten years.
Baroness Mallelieu held shares in Serco, another funder of Onwards & Upwards.
The Register of Charities holds the registration for Onwards & Upwards, (https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/5177352/financial-history).
Whilst the Trustees names are available, the address is not available directly in the Register of Charities records for this company. The Accounts were consulted for this governance and structure details.
The first year’s accounts, provide :
“Principal address 29 Dalmore Road London SE21 8HD
Structure, governance and management The Charity was established by a memorandum and articles of association dated 13th May 2021. The charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (registered by the Charity Commission on 13 May 2021: CC number 1194457). These financial statements are the first completed by the CIO. The trustees who served during the Period and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Sir J M Sunderland (Appointed 19 July 2021) Mr J Sellors (Appointed 13 May 2021) Mr B Greig (Appointed 13 May 2021) Ms P Stewart Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees (Appointed 13 May 2021 and resigned 31 March 2022)
Organisational Structure Onwards & Upwards is the registered Charity, governed by the Board of Trustees. Day to Day activities are managed by the two Co-Founders, supported by a contracted Finance lead and a volunteer CEO. XO Bikes, the first operating business from Onwards & Upwards, is a Limited Company (company number 13913618) which is 100% owned by the Charity. XO Bikes currently has 3 Directors. The two Co-Founders of Onwards & Upwards, and one of the Trustees. An additional Director, independent of the Charity and trustees, is currently being sought.”
Charity Details:
The charity, Onwards & Upwards, was established on 13 May 2021 and is registered with the Charity Commission (number 1194457).
It operates a subsidiary company called XO Bikes, There is no mention of Onwards & Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd in its governance structure.
Observations:
Similarity to Charity: The name "Onwards & Upwards" is also used by a charity established on 13 May 2021, which aims to employ ex-offenders. This similarity raises concerns about potential confusion or misuse of the charity's reputation.
Incomplete records:. The “Governing document” record in the Register of Charities does not include the memorandum and articles of association dated 13th May 2021, which is mentioned in the accounts. This may be a breach of the Charities Act and a red flag for potentially serious crime.
Companies House Concerns: A search in Companies House reveals multiple companies with similar names, including "Onwards & Upwards Ltd" and "Onwards and Upwards Ltd," which could facilitate clone company fraud due to breaches of Section 66 of the Companies Act 2006.
05111145 - Dissolved on 18 April 2017
1386 London Road, Leigh On Sea, Essex, SS9 2UJ
10749004 - Incorporated on 2 May 2017
17a Station Parade, Hornchurch, Essex, England, RM12 5AA”
Since “&” and “and” have the same meaning, these two companies have the same name in breach of section 66 of the Companies Act 2006.
This is of further concern given there is a charity, established in 13 May 2021, called “Onwards & Upwards”, which is the same name. This presents the potential opportunity for clone company fraud by breaching section 66 of the Companies Act 2006.
The overview records of Onwards & Upwards Ltd, which dissolved on 18 April 2017 show that the accounts are overdue:
“ONWARDS & UPWARDS LTD Company number 05111145 Dissolved on 18 April 2017 Company type Private limited Company Incorporated on 26 April 2004
Accounts overdue Next accounts made up to 30 April 2017 due by 31 January 2018 Last accounts made up to 30 April 2016
Nature of business (SIC) 70229 - Management consultancy activities other than financial management”.
The directors of Onwards & Upwards Limited are in breach of section 441 of the Companies Act 2006. There is a risk that bank accounts in this company name are still operational.
Undisclosed related party of Onwards & Upwards, the charity: Onwards & Upwards Group Ltd:
There is another company registered in Companies House which includes the names “Onwards & Upwards” which is registered at the same address provided in the Charity’s accounts, “Principal Address 29 Dalmore Road London SE21 8HD”:
12925894 - Dissolved on 17 August 2021
29 Dalmore Road, London, England, SE21 8HD”
Onwards & Upwards Group Ltd, dissolved in 2021, was registered at the same address as the charity, Onwards & Upwards. The charity's failure to disclose Onwards & Upwards Group Ltd in its governance report is a serious breach of the Charities Act 2006.

The address provided for Onwards & Upwards relates to two companies, Aeden LLP and Xynomix Limited.
Potential Breaches:
The use of an address not officially registered to Onwards & Upwards raises concerns about the company's legitimacy and transparency.
This discrepancy could indicate a breach of company registration requirements and potentially fraudulent activity in securing a government contract.
Implications:
The use of XYNOMIX LIMITED and Aeden LLP's address by Onwards & Upwards suggests a possible connection between the three entities, which requires further investigation.
This situation raises questions about the due diligence process in awarding government contracts and the potential for misrepresentation or fraud.
This discrepancy warrants immediate investigation to ensure the integrity of the contract award process and to verify the legitimacy of Onwards & Upwards as a service provider for vulnerable populations.
Risk Assessment:
Name Similarity and Potential Clone Company Fraud:
Multiple companies with similar names (e.g., Onwards & Upwards Ltd, Onwards and Upwards Ltd, Onwards & Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd) violate Section 66 of the Companies Act 2006.
This similarity could facilitate clone company fraud and mislead the public.
Undisclosed Related Parties:
Onwards & Upwards Group Ltd, sharing an address with the charity Onwards & Upwards, was not disclosed in the charity's governance report, breaching the Charities Act 2006.
Government Contract Discrepancies:
The address provided for Onwards & Upwards in a government contract (NG10 5BA) is registered to two unrelated companies (AEDN LLP and XYNOMIX LIMITED).
This raises concerns about potential misrepresentation in securing a £24 million government contract.
Shell Company Creation: The same-day appointment and resignation for TEMPLE SECRETARIES LIMITED and COMPANY DIRECTORS LIMITED suggest these entities were used to quickly set up shell companies, potentially for illicit purposes.
Bank Account Opening: There's a high risk that bank accounts were opened on the day of appointment, which could still be operational without proper oversight.
Lack of Accountability: Since nominee appointments don't require registration as officers, these accounts may operate outside normal accountability frameworks.
Scale of Operations: The extremely high number of total appointments (90,470 and 89,134) indicates a large-scale operation, potentially facilitating widespread financial misconduct.
Ongoing Concerns: While most appointments have been resigned, the fact that there are still current appointments (14 and 5 respectively) suggests ongoing activity.
Regulatory Blindspot: This practice exploits a significant loophole in corporate governance, allowing for the creation of opaque financial structures.
Implications
Money Laundering: These structures could facilitate large-scale money laundering operations.
Tax Evasion: The opacity of these arrangements makes them ideal for hiding assets and evading tax obligations.
Fraud: The ability to quickly create and dissolve corporate entities enables various forms of fraud, including Ponzi schemes and investment scams.
Regulatory Evasion: These structures may be used to circumvent industry-specific regulations by obscuring true ownership and control.
National Security Risks: Such opaque financial structures could be exploited by entities seeking to bypass sanctions or finance illicit activities.
Exploitation of Vulnerable Groups:
If Patricia Ann Mallalieu's company is related to the charity working with ex-offenders, there's a risk of exploiting this vulnerable population.
Transparency Issues:
Lack of clarity regarding Patricia Mallalieu's association with the charity Onwards & Upwards.
Incomplete records in the Register of Charities, missing crucial governance documents.
Financial Irregularities:
Overdue accounts for dissolved companies with similar names raise concerns about potential ongoing financial activities under these names.
Conflicts of Interest:
Potential conflicts arising from sponsors of the charity (e.g., Goldman Sachs, Serco) having connections to other members of the House of Lords.
Clarification is required from Patricia Mallalieu, as to whether she is associated to Onwards & Upwards the charity is any way.
Conclusion:
The investigation into Patricia Ann Mallalieu's involvement with Onwards & Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd has uncovered a complex web of potential legal breaches, ethical concerns, and transparency issues. The similarity in names between various entities, including a charity working with vulnerable ex-offenders, creates a high risk of confusion and potential misuse of reputation.
The discrepancies in company registrations, undisclosed related parties, and questionable government contract details all point to a severe lack of transparency and potential fraudulent activities. The use of multiple similar company names violates the Companies Act 2006 and could facilitate clone company fraud.
Of particular concern is the potential exploitation of vulnerable groups, specifically ex-offenders, if there is an undisclosed relationship between Patricia Ann Mallalieu's recruitment company and the charity Onwards & Upwards. The lack of clarity in these relationships and the incomplete public records exacerbate these concerns.
Furthermore, the financial irregularities, including overdue accounts for dissolved companies, raise red flags about potential ongoing misuse of these company identities.
Given these findings, it is imperative that:
A thorough investigation be conducted into the relationships between these various entities and Patricia Ann Mallalieu's involvement.
The legitimacy of the government contract awarded to Onwards & Upwards be scrutinized.
The Charity Commission review the governance and transparency of the charity Onwards & Upwards.
Companies House address the multiple violations of the Companies Act 2006 identified in this investigation.
This case underscores the urgent need for stricter oversight and enforcement of corporate governance standards, especially when dealing with vulnerable populations and public funds. Immediate action is required to address these issues, protect public interest, and prevent potential exploitation and fraud.

Ensuring the requirements in the UK can be met, our expert in-house team perform the essential checks on qualifications, language capabilities and experience.
All qualified nurses are English speaking, having passed at least the B1 English test.

Be Inspired Training recruits medical and healthcare staff from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Argentina, East and West Africa to work in the UK with a “lead time for arrival into the UK is between 3-8 weeks”. This is unusual.
Be Inspired Training also provides courses for Continuing Professional Development, for example:
“CPD Short Courses
Be Inspired Training LTD: Wisdom Facilities Centre, Unit 9a, 42 Hollands Rd, Haverhill, Suffolk, CB9 8SA. Logos are presented for “In partnership with Department for Work & Pensions”, Highfield Qualifications, Care Development East and Suffolk Sourcing. The website contains a Modern Slavery Statement (https://beinspiredtrainingltd.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Modern-Slavery-Supply-Chain.pdf).
“This statement sets out the actions Be Inspired Training is taking to address the issue of modern slavery following the implementation of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (‘the Act’). Whilst BE INSPIRED TRAINING does not believe it is strictly required to comply with the Act, as an organisation we take our responsibilities around modern slavery, ethical labour and workforce practices extremely seriously. We believe that any form of exploitation is wrong, and we are committed to doing our best to ensure that our charitable activities and supply chains are free of slavery and human trafficking as defined in the Act. We are therefore committed to reporting annually on the steps that we are taking to support the principles of the Act.”
Recruitment Activities: Be Inspired Training recruits medical and healthcare staff from overseas countries, which also raises ethical concerns about poaching staff from developing countries.
Be Inspired Training's business model might lead to situations akin to servitude if individuals incur debts through training. Here's why:
Debt Incurrence: If individuals are required to pay for training or incur debts to secure employment, this could create a situation where they feel obligated to work to repay these debts, potentially leading to exploitation.
Supply Chain Requirements: The model of recruiting staff from overseas with a short lead time for arrival in the UK could create pressure on individuals to accept employment under potentially unfavourable conditions to meet supply chain demands.
Modern Slavery Concerns: The lack of clarity in Be Inspired Training's Modern Slavery Statement, particularly the claim that they do not believe they are strictly required to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, raises concerns about their commitment to preventing exploitation.
Ethical Recruitment Practices: Ethical recruitment practices should ensure that individuals are not coerced into employment due to financial obligations or other forms of pressure. If Be Inspired Training's model does not adhere to these standards, it could be seen as facilitating conditions similar to servitude.
In summary, while Be Inspired Training's model might not directly lead to servitude, it could create conditions that are exploitative if not managed ethically. Ensuring transparency and compliance with anti-slavery regulations is crucial to prevent such risks.
Be Inspired Training Limited in the context of the National Audit Office report o https://www.nao.org.uk/reports/immigration-skilled-worker-visas/?nab=2
The issue of 1.2 million visas, including dependents, being issued under the Skilled Worker Visa scheme, with 80% remaining after the visa expires, raises significant concerns about sustainability and the UK's best interests. This situation can be illustrated using the example of Be Inspired Training Limited, which recruits medical and healthcare staff from overseas countries.
Concerns with Be Inspired Training Limited
Recruitment Practices: Be Inspired Training Limited's model involves recruiting staff from developing countries, which could lead to poaching of essential healthcare workers. This practice may undermine the healthcare systems in these countries.
Indebtedness and Exploitation: The company's training model could result in indebtedness among recruits, potentially leading to exploitation or conditions akin to forced labour.
Lack of Transparency: The company's modern slavery statement is unclear, claiming not to be strictly required to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, despite acknowledging responsibilities.
Risks Associated with the Skilled Worker Visa Scheme
Sustainability: The large number of visas issued and the high retention rate pose sustainability concerns, as this could strain UK resources and infrastructure.
Exploitation Risks: The National Audit Office's report highlights risks of exploitation in sectors like social care, which could be exacerbated by companies like Be Inspired Training Limited.
Public Interest: The sheer scale of the visa program and its implications for public services and the economy raise questions about whether it aligns with the UK's best interests.
Conclusion
The combination of Be Inspired Training Limited's recruitment practices and the broader issues with the Skilled Worker Visa scheme highlights significant risks to public trust and the UK's best interests. These concerns necessitate further investigation and policy adjustments to ensure that such programs do not facilitate exploitation and align with national priorities.

The ARC Model aims to support staff working in Health & Social Care and Educational settings in the United Kingdom, to develop skills and knowledge in relation to supporting children and adults who have complex support needs and behaviours of concern, associated with Learning Disabilities, Autistic Spectrum Condition, Dementia, Mental Health issues and Acquired Brain Injury.
ARC training places a strong emphasis on “Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and the principles of ‘proactive support’ ‘least restrictive and last resort’ strategies….It encompasses PBS theory content that focuses on Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Interventions (aligned to the Public Health Model), offering a range of de-escalation strategies, personal protection and safe holding techniques, designed and RRN Approved Certification.”
ARC is the frequently used acronym of Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Limited, which is associated with multiple breaches, as presented in this report:

Observations:
The report on the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Limited which operates with the name ARC, raised concerns about the misuse of the acronyms ARC and ARK, Absolute Return for Kids. The incidence of ARC as the product provided by B-Inspired Training and Consultants Ltd, which has essentially the same name as Be Inspired Training Ltd raises a red flag.
Confusion with Similar Names:
Be Inspired Training Limited and B-Inspired Training: There is potential confusion with similarly named companies, such as B-Inspired Training and Consultants Ltd, which could lead to breaches of Section 66 of the Companies Act 2006.
ARC Training Programmes: The use of ARC training by B-Inspired Training and Consultants Ltd, which is similar to Be Inspired Training Ltd, and the acronym used by Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Limited raises concerns about clone company fraud and potential misuse of similar names.
Alliance commonality: The incidence of “Alliance” in the name of the company held in Patricia Mallalieu’s first identity, Alliance Training (UK) Ltd, and Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Limited (ARC), escalates the concerns about clone company fraud.
Conclusion:
Patricia Ann Mallalieu's involvement with Be Inspired Training Ltd raises concerns about ethical practices in recruitment and potential confusion with similarly named companies. The lack of clarity in its modern slavery statement and the potential for misuse of similar names highlight the need for further investigation to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and prevent potential exploitation.
Final Conclusion for Patricia Ann Mallalieu:
Patricia Ann Mallalieu's duplicate identities and involvement in multiple companies, including Be Inspired Training Ltd, Onwards & Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd, and Teal and Tweed Ltd, raise significant concerns about transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements. The presence of duplicate identities breaches Section 1082 of the Companies Act 2006, and the potential for confusion with similarly named companies could facilitate clone company fraud. These discrepancies compromise accountability and necessitate further investigation to ensure compliance with ethical standards.
Recap of Breaches and Anomalies
Baroness Ann Mallalieu
Baroness Ann Mallalieu has a single identity registered with a date of birth in November 1945. However, she has failed to declare several directorships correctly in her Register of Interests. Specifically, she did not declare her roles in British Horseracing Authority Limited, The Countryside Alliance Foundation, The Horse Trust, and The Suzy Lamplugh Trust. Additionally, there were inaccuracies in her entries for Racing Welfare and The Horse Trust.
Patricia Ann Mallalieu
Patricia Ann Mallalieu has two identities, both born in March 1949. The first identity is associated with dissolved companies, Alliance Training (UK) Limited and The Silver-Lining Cricketers Syndicate Ltd, which have breached the Companies Act 2006 by failing to submit accounts before dissolution. This raises concerns about potential bank accounts still operating under these company names.
The second identity is linked to active companies: Teal and Tweed Ltd, Onwards & Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd, and Be Inspired Training Ltd. There are concerns about potential associations with other entities, such as Teal Self Build Housing Association Limited, and the recruitment of ex-offenders by Onwards & Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd, which could exploit vulnerable groups.
Birth Registration Anomaly
There is no birth record for Patricia Ann Mallalieu registered in 1949, which raises questions about the accuracy of her registered details. This, combined with the duplicate identities, suggests potential breaches of Section 1082 of the Companies Act 2006.
Multiple Identities
The existence of two identities for Patricia Ann Mallalieu and the lack of a birth record for her name and date of birth indicate potential non-compliance with legal requirements. This situation necessitates further investigation to clarify her identities and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
Potential Association with Patricia Ann Mallalieu
Duplicate Identities: Patricia Ann Mallalieu has two identities, both born in March 1949. If Baroness Ann Mallalieu is found to be associated with or the same person as Patricia Ann Mallalieu, it could raise significant concerns about conflicts of duty and breaches of separation of duties.
Risks to Public Trust: Such an association would undermine public trust in the House of Lords, as it would suggest a lack of transparency and accountability.
Vulnerable Groups: The involvement of Patricia Ann Mallalieu in companies like Onwards & Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd, which recruits ex-offenders, poses risks to vulnerable groups if not managed ethically.
Risks Associated with Margaret Ann Mallalieu
Multiple Identities: The existence of multiple identities for Margaret Ann Mallalieu (if confirmed) would indicate potential breaches of Section 1082 of the Companies Act 2006.
Conflicts of Interest: If these identities are linked to Baroness Ann Mallalieu, it could lead to conflicts of interest and further erode public trust.
Modern Slavery Act Risks
Recruitment Practices: The recruitment activities by companies associated with Patricia Ann Mallalieu could potentially breach the Modern Slavery Act if they lead to exploitation.
Lack of Transparency: The lack of clarity in these companies' practices increases the risk of non-compliance with anti-slavery regulations.
Risks to the House of Lords
Transparency and Accountability: The Revised Code of Conduct, which weakens transparency by removing the requirement to register non-financial interests, could be seen as self-serving and undermine the integrity of the House of Lords.
Conduct Committee Role: As a member of the Conduct Committee, Baroness Mallalieu's involvement in these changes could be perceived as a conflict of interest, especially if she benefits from reduced transparency.
Conclusion
The potential association between Baroness Ann Mallalieu and Patricia Ann Mallalieu, along with the existence of multiple identities for Margaret Ann Mallalieu, poses significant risks to public trust, vulnerable groups, and compliance with regulatory standards. These risks are exacerbated by the Revised Code of Conduct, which reduces transparency and could be seen as self-serving for members who are not fit for office.
Outstanding analysis:
Margaret Anne Mallalieu, who has two identities registered in breach of section 1082 CA2006.

Based on the information given, we can make some observations:
Multiple individuals appear to have duplicate identities with different addresses, which is a potential breach of section 1082 of the Companies Act 2006. This requires individuals to maintain a single unique identifier in Companies House records.
The most concerning cases are:
Ross Hilton Mallalieu/Ross Mallalieu (4 identities)
Samuel Jon Mallalieu/Samuel Mallalieu (2 identities)
Sarah Mallalieu (2 identities)
Thomas Samuel Mallalieu/Tom Mallalieu (2 identities)
Hans Sinclair Mallalieu (2 identities)
Michael David Mallalieu/Michael Mallalieu (3 identities)
These duplicate identities raise red flags for potential financial misconduct, as they could be used to obscure business relationships or avoid proper scrutiny.
The total number of appointments listed for each identity varies, with some showing 0 appointments and others showing 1 or 2. This inconsistency across duplicate identities is particularly concerning.
The geographical spread of these identities (from London to Scotland to Wales) could indicate attempts to create distance between related business activities.
If any of these individuals has a relationship with Patricia Ann Mallalieu, Margaret Anne Mallalieu or Baroness Ann Mallalieu, then careful investigation of potential conflicts of duty or separation of powers is required.
To properly investigate these potential breaches, it would be necessary to access the full Companies House records for each identity and compare the associated companies, appointment histories, and any other relevant details. This would help determine the extent of the breaches and any potential patterns of misconduct.
Companies House systemic issues from weak deduplication processes
The information provided highlights significant issues within the Companies House system and how it's being exploited, particularly by establishment members. This exploitation contributes to the alarming £200 billion annual fraud rate in the UK. Key points include:
Unique Identifier Allocation
Based on name, date of birth, and usual residential address
Directors have a duty to keep this information up to date
Any variation in name or address results in a new identifier
System Vulnerabilities
Companies House not deduplicating records
Establishment members exploiting this as a "feature"
Multiple identities used to conceal conflicting interests
Consequences
Compromised transparency and accountability
Increased difficulty in detecting conflicts of interest
Facilitation of large-scale fraud
Specific Cases:
Patricia Ann Mallalieu
Multiple identities with different addresses
Potential conflicts of interest between companies
Sir Paul Roderick Clucas Marshall
At least five unique identifiers in Companies House
Directorships spread across different identities
Potential concealment of conflicting interests
Implications
Undermines the integrity of the Companies House system
Hinders effective auditing and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes
Erodes public trust in corporate governance
This systemic issue requires urgent attention from regulators and policymakers to close the loophole and improve the accuracy and reliability of corporate records. Enhanced verification processes and regular audits of director identities could help mitigate these risks and reduce the potential for fraud.
Letter to the Lords Commissioner for Standards
Subject: Complaint Regarding Baroness Mallalieu's Breaches of the Code of Conduct
Dear Lords Commissioner for Standards,
Failure to declare multiple directorships in her Register of Interests, including:
British Horseracing Authority Limited (1 May 2004 - 30 July 2007)
The Countryside Alliance Foundation (9 January 2006 - 19 June 2007)
The Suzy Lamplugh Trust (15 October 1996 - 12 October 2000)
Providing inaccurate or incomplete information in her Register of Interests regarding:
Racing Welfare: Listed as trustee instead of director (27 March 2009 - 12 June 2018)
The Horse Trust: Listed as President without disclosing former directorship (29 January 1998 - 17 December 2001)
Delayed registration of interests, notably for Racing Welfare, where her directorship began on 27 March 2009 but was not registered until 13 April 2010.
Material omissions in group accounts for Racing Welfare, where her name and resignation date were excluded from the 31 December 2018 accounts.
Potential conflicts of interest arising misleading entries: Her Register of Interests lists her as President of the Countryside Alliance and The Horse Trust, which could be misleading and potentially used to authorise illegitimate transactions in the name of these organizations since thay are not clearly marked as an ex-officio positions in her Register of Interests.
Association with entities that may be in breach of the Companies Act 2006, specifically regarding the use of similar company names and disclosure of persons with significant control.
These actions appear to violate the principles of openness, transparency, and integrity that are fundamental to the Lords' Code of Conduct. They potentially breach Paragraphs 8(b) and 10(c) of the Code, which require members to be open and truthful in registering their interests and to avoid conflicts of interest.
Additionally, there are concerns regarding potential connections between Baroness Ann Mallalieu and two individuals with similar names: Patricia Ann Mallalieu and Margaret Anne Mallalieu.
I request that you investigate whether Baroness Ann Mallalieu is associated with or the same person as Patricia Ann Mallalieu, born March 1949. Patricia Ann Mallalieu has two identities, both of which are linked to companies with potential breaches of the Companies Act 2006. Specifically, her companies held in her first identity, Alliance Training (UK) Limited and The Silver-Lining Cricketers Syndicate Ltd have failed to submit accounts before dissolution, which could facilitate clone company fraud and pose risks to vulnerable groups, through the use of still active bank accounts.
Patricia Ann Mallalieu’s second identity is associated with the following companies:
Teal and Tweed Ltd: There are concerns about potential associations with other entities, such as Teal Self Build Housing Association Limited.
Onwards & Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd: This company raises concerns about potential clone company fraud involving ex-offenders and the charity Onwards & Upwards.
Be Inspired Training Ltd: This company recruits medical and healthcare staff from developing countries, potentially leading to poaching of staff and causing indebtedness, which could be akin to forced labour.
The co-existence of B-Inspired Training and Consultants Ltd, which provides restraint training for vulnerable groups, presents further opportunities for clone company fraud and coordinated serious organized crime. The use of the acronym ARC by B-Inspired Training and Consultants Ltd, similar to the compromised Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Limited, increases these concerns.
These discrepancies and potential associations raise significant concerns about transparency, accountability, and the potential for exploitation of vulnerable groups. The involvement of companies like Onwards & Upwards (Recruitment) Ltd and Be Inspired Training Ltd poses risks to ex-offenders and healthcare workers from developing countries.
The recruitment activities by Be Inspired Training Ltd could potentially breach the Modern Slavery Act if they lead to exploitation or forced labour.
As a member of the Conduct Committee, Baroness Mallalieu's involvement in the recent changes to the Code of Conduct, which reduce transparency by removing the requirement to register non-financial interests, could be seen as self-serving and undermine the integrity of the House of Lords.
Given the high risks associated with potential identity fraud and the lack of available birth certificates for these individuals, I respectfully request that DNA verification be conducted to establish or rule out any familial relationships between these parties:
Clarifying Baroness Mallalieu's relationship, if any, with Patricia Ann Mallalieu and Margaret Anne Mallalieu.
Ensuring compliance with the Code of Conduct regarding the declaration of interests.
Addressing the potential misuse of similar company names and identities.
I urge a thorough investigation into these matters to ensure the integrity of the House of Lords and to maintain public trust in our institutions. The pattern of non-compliance and potential conflicts of interest raise serious questions about Baroness Mallalieu's adherence to the Code of Conduct and her ability to fulfill her duties transparently and ethically.
Please find my full report attached.
Yours sincerely.
