Martin Lewis admits why he won't be re-applying to join the House of Lords after being turned down
Martin Lewis says he won't be re-applying to become a member of the House of Lords after his application to become a crossbench peer was turned down last year. The Money Saving Expert founder believed he may have been rejected as he couldn’t commit the time required for the role.
And the broadcaster also explained that he doesn't think being part of the House of Lords would make a difference to the influence he already has. “I won’t be applying for the House of Lords again. I’m not sure I would enjoy it,” said the Withington-born financial expert. Martin, who regularly appears on This Morning and presents Good Morning Britain and The Martin Lewis Money Show, added: “And actually, I’ve got to a point where in influence terms, I’m not sure it would make any difference to me. I’m not sure if I had the title ‘Lord’ it would have any more impact.” Asked if the title 'Lord' might even diminish some of his influence in the eyes of the public he replied “possibly.
He said that he told the commission he could only offer a limited number of hours. "I’m very busy with my job, but most importantly, I have a nine-year-old daughter and until she is 13, my most important job from 6.30pm until 8pm at night is to be with her and put her to bed.
