Anne Lyndoe-Tavistock Made 'Cynical' Plot to Win Sex Pictured: The lesbian housemaid who accused her Tory MP boss of trying to lure her into a threesome Anne Lyndoe-Tavistock made 'cynical' plot to win sex discrimination claim Told tribunal Richard Drax and wife Elsbet tried to perform sex act on her But case dismissed after former lover revealed she had wrongly accused ex-employer of sex assault Tory MP praises Mr Drax for fighting case despite 'hurt and embarrassment' Business leaders now calling for tougher penalties for 'malicious claims' By SIMON TOMLINSON and MARIO LEDWITH FOR THE DAILY MAIL PUBLISHED: 12:30, 7 June 2013 | UPDATED: 00:34, 8 June 2013 First picture: Housekeeper Anne Lyndoe-Tavistock outside an employment tribunal in Southampton which heard she falsely accused her employer, South Dorset MP Richard Drax, of trying to entice her into a threesome with his wife This is the lesbian housekeeper who falsely accused a Tory MP of trying to lure her into a threesome with his wife. Anne Lyndoe-Tavistock claimed she became suicidal after Richard Drax, 55, and wife Elsebet groped her and tried to perform a sex act on her as they drank wine in the sitting room of their Elizabethan stately home. But her ‘cynical’ case was dismissed at an employment tribunal after her former lover revealed she was a serial litigant who falsely accused a previous boss of sexual assault and had been awarded £16,000. Judge Roger Peters, rejected her ‘utterly incredible’ claims at the hearing in Southampton. The South Dorset MP wept as the decision was reached, and said afterwards that the claims had been ‘extremely stressful’ for his family. After the hearing on Wednesday, he said: ‘This finding vindicates our position throughout these proceedings that we acted lawfully and properly and that her serious allegations of sexual discrimination were untrue.’ Miss Lyndoe-Tavistock, 53, who lived in the Drax ancestral home, has received two other payouts in the last 15 years after bringing claims against former bosses, the tribunal heard. The housekeeper’s claims were dismissed when her estranged civil partner claimed that Miss Lyndoe-Tavistock had concocted the story for financial gain. Jo Lyndoe-Tavistock, who is divorcing her, said her former partner wanted to ‘satisfy a grudge’ and that her attitude when she was in a dispute was one of ‘I have an issue with that person, how can I get them back?’ She said her ex had brought a claim against the Royal Mail involving an alleged sexual assault, receiving a payout of £15,960. 'She admitted to me that she had been in a tussle of some sort with a colleague and that she had invented an allegation that he had touched her breast,' she said. Miss Lyndoe-Tavistock received £15,960 after bringing the claim. She received another payout from the Royal Mail after alleging she had hurt her shoulder after the company overfilled a bag. 'In fact it was an injury she had had for many years which was unrelated to her work,' her civil partner said. She also received a £3,000 payout from a store where she was working after yet another dispute. Her ex-partner added said she believed the case against the MP was another attempt to 'extract money from an employer'. She told the hearing: 'She knows Mr Drax is a public figure and I imagine she thought he was in a strong position to secure a settlement from him as I know she has done from previous employers. 'I believe she concocted the allegations in her claim to cause embarrassment to Mr and Mrs Drax and their family in the expectation that she would receive a financial settlement.' Business leaders have now spoken out to say the case exposes the need to impose tougher penalties on workers who bring 'frivolous or malicious' claims with the hope of receiving a settlement. Cleared: The claims against Mr Drax and his wife Elsbet (left) were dismissed after Anne Lyndoe-Tavistock's former civil partner, Jo Lyndoe-Tavistock (right), told the tribunal she believed the housekeeper had 'concocted' the stories for financial gain Mark Littlewood, the director of the Institute of Economic Affairs think tank, told the Daily Telegraph: 'The present system makes it too attractive for the complainant to simply chance their arm, often causing expense and even distress to their wholly innocent employer.' Companies last year settled more than a quarter of employment tribunal claims out of court despite often being given legal advice that they were likely to win, according to a survey by the Confederation of British Industry. A fellow MP last night praised Mr Drax's courage for fighting the case despite the 'pain, hurt and embarrassment' caused to him and his family. Nadhim Zahawi, the co-founder of the pollster YouGov who is now a Tory MP, said: 'It must have been horrific for him and his family, but it was absolutely right. 'When you think you are in the right, then you ought to take these things on.' Earlier this week, Mr Drax said the allegations had been 'extremely stressful' for him, his wife Elsebet and his four children with his ex-wife, the sister of former Royal nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke. Relief: Mr Drax (right) said the allegations had been 'extremely stressful' for him, his wife Elsbet (left) and his four children with his ex-wife, the sister of former Royal nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke Mr Drax, 55, a Harrow-educated former Coldstream Guards officer whose full name is Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle- Erle-Drax, had always denied the claims and described himself to the hearing as a 'courteous gentleman'. The tribunal heard the housekeeper was invited to live in the Drax ancestral home, Charborough House, after previously working there as a groom. She claimed that in August she was in the staff kitchen when Norwegian-born Mrs Drax invited her to join her and her husband in their sitting room. She claimed when she entered the MP and his wife began to French kiss. Mrs Drax then started rubbing her crotch and her husband grabbed her thigh, she alleged. The housekeeper said she was 'extremely upset and scared' by their approaches and fled to her room and barricaded the door. A few weeks after the alleged assault, Miss Lyndoe-Tavistock said the MP told her she had an hour to leave, citing a series of fallings out she had had with other members of staff. She said he gave her £300 and a letter falsely claiming they had discussed disciplinary proceedings and that a severance deal would be drawn up. The housekeeper's former partner told the tribunal that when she spoke to her after she had been sacked by the MP, she boasted she had something 'big' on him. The housekeeper had claimed sexual discrimination, unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal and for unpaid holiday pay. Mr Drax wiped his eyes as he sat holding his wife's hand as chairman of the panel, Judge Roger Peters, rejected her 'utterly incredible' claims. Outside, the MP said. 'This finding vindicates our position throughout these proceedings that we acted lawfully and properly and that her serious allegations of sexual discrimination were untrue. 'These allegations have been extremely stressful for my wife and I, and my children, and my family. We are all now relieved that we can put these matters behind us.' A spokesman for the Forum of Private Business said: 'It is wrong that one angry employee can humiliate her boss, even if there are no grounds. 'We think the culture needs to change where somebody is to blame – and that is always the employer.' Outside court, the housekeeper's solicitor said: 'We are sorry that she has not been able to prove her case at this tribunal and we will be considering an appeal.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337370/Pictured-The-lesbian-housemaid-accused-Tory- MP-boss-trying-lure-threesome.html .

Questions 94 - 120 Witnesses I: The Rt Hon. Lord Frost CMG, Minister of State, Cabinet Office; and Julian Braithwaite CMG, Director General EU, Cabinet Office. Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Lord Frost and Julian Braithwaite. Q94 Chair: Good afternoon, Lord Frost, and welcome. It is clear that issues concerning the implementation of the Northern Ireland protocol are persisting and tensions on both sides are running high. As such, it is extremely important that you appear today, and on behalf of the Committee I would like to thank you. You are sending a clear signal that this Government value parliamentary scrutiny in the national interest. I know that we do not have very much time with you today, and in the light of this our questions will cover a number of recent high-profile UK- EU events. Before I ask the first question, I thought that it would be a good idea, as Mr Braithwaite is relatively new to the post, if he would be good enough to introduce himself. Julian Braithwaite: Certainly. My name is Julian Braithwaite. I have just returned from Geneva, where I was the UK ambassador to the World Trade Organisation, among a number of other international organisations in Geneva, and responsible for our transition in the WTO as we left the European Union.

  • Earles of Dorsetshire
    EARLES OF ENGLAND—DORSETSHIRE 29 CHAPTER FOUR. THE EARLES OF DORSETSHIRE. If we are right in our identification of John Erie, of Ashburton, and our London author is correct in his statements, we shall have plain sailing in giving the genealogy of the Dorsetshire branch. This begins with Walter Erie, of Charborough, and the descent is as fol­ lows: N—FOURTEENTH GENERATION. CHILDREN OF JOHN ERLE (M 2), OF CULHAMPTON, DEVONSHIRE, d. 1508, son of John Erie (L 2), of Ashburton, d. 1484, and Margaret de Sondes: N 1) JOHN ERLE, of Culhampton, married Thomasine Beare, of County Somerset. 0—FIFTEENTH GENERATION. CHILDREN OF JOHN ERLE (N 1), OF CULHAMPTON, AND THOMASINE BEARE: O 1) WALTER ERLE, of Charborough, County Dorset; d. 1581; married Mary, daughter and co-heir of Richard Wykes, of Binden and Charborough; founder of the Dor­ setshire branch. A quaint bit of old-time history is here transcribed from Pole's "Collections for Devon:" "Bindon, in Axmouth, was sometime the dwelling of Nicholas Bach, and by him sold in Kinge Henry 4 tyme unto Roger Wike; it contynewed in the famyly, and the last of them, Richard Wike, left it unto his foure daughters, wief of Antony Giffard, Alis (Alice), wief of Hugh Barry, wief of Mark Hays, and Mary, wief of Walter Erie, which bought Giffard's part, and so the moytye (half) is descended unto Sir Walter Earle, sonne of , and Dorothie, his wief, daughter of William Pole, of Shute, Esq. Theire hath the said Sir Walter Erie his howse, with fayre demesnes thereunto belonginge, with the parsonage impropriat." There is a conflict of authorities just here which we are not able to determine.
