		</div><p>Birtain&#8217;s Lord Sewel is facing a police investigation after quitting as Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords over a video allegedly showing him taking drugs with prostitutes.</p>
<p>“These serious allegations will be referred to the House of Lords Commissioner for Standards and the Metropolitan Police for investigation as a matter of urgency,” said Lords Speaker Baroness D’Souza.</p>
<p>The Sun on Sunday footage showed a naked Sewel, who had responsibility for enforcing standards in the Upper House, snorting white powder from a woman&#8217;s breasts using a five-pound note.</p>
<p>Sewel is understood to have resigned from his role as chairman of Committees in the Lords in the wake of the expose.</p>
<p>In the film obtained by the Sun on Sunday, Sewel is shown romping with two women at his flat in Dolphin Square, Pimlico, a couple of miles from parliament.</p>
<p>He apparently paid one for the night with a cheque for £200, dated July 22.</p>
<p>In between snorting lines of white powder, Lord Sewel is heard complaining that he struggles to afford the £1,000 a month rent on the flat.</p>
<p>The peer is asked whether he receives expenses and explains that he now gets a flat-rate allowance of £200 a day.“It’s all changed and disappeared. People were making false claims,” he said.</p>
<p>“Members of her Lordship’s House who are right thieves, rogues and b*****ds at times. Wonderful people that they are.”</p>
<p>In fact, the allowance for Lords is £300 a day and did not apply to Lord Sewel.</p>
<p>The peer had a salary of £84,500 for his role as chairman of Committees. As he declared his main residence was in Aberdeenshire, he was also entitled to a tax-free office holder’s allowance of £36,000 plus travel and other expenses.</p>
