> The investigation into Mone relates to her alleged involvement in procuring £203m PPE contracts for a company, PPE Medpro. She has denied wrongdoing.
(See [*Tory peer Michelle Mone secretly involved in PPE firm she referred to government*](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/06/tory-peer-michelle-mone-involved-ppe-medpro-government-contracts) from Jan this year.)
As to Shrewsbury, or [Charles Henry John Benedict Crofton Chetwynd Chetwynd-Talbot](https://members.parliament.uk/member/2147/contact) to his friends, the Lords are mum:
> “At this stage information on this investigation remains confidential until it is completed and a report published. There isn’t any further information we can add other than what appears on the website at present.”
*Don’t judge a book by its cover or a person by their appearance…*
> Charles Henry John Benedict Crofton Chetwynd Chetwynd-Talbot, 22nd Earl of Shrewsbury, 22nd Earl of Waterford, 7th Earl Talbot, Deputy lieutenant.
