EDM number 1272 in 2005-06, proposed by Alex Salmond on 14/12/2005.

That this House believes that peers should be subject to the same laws of disqualification concerning criminal activity and convictions which apply to elected members of this House; further believes that such peers should be stripped of their peerages; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to introduce legislation to ensure the same laws of disqualification apply to all members in both Houses of Parliament as soon as possible.
