Anthony William Hall, Baron Hall of Birkenhead CBE. But this affair has exposed that it is a place that should no longer entertain the likes of Anthony William Hall, Baron Hall of Birkenhead CBE. This week in Parliament I posed the challenge to the government to find a way of stripping Lord Hall of his Peerage. Lord Hall has already very kindly resigned as Chairman of the National Gallery. If they want to be taken seriously, the authorities must move to strip Lord Hall of his title.
