In 2013 Laird allegedly offered to lobby for a firm against parliamentary rules. As a result, he resigned from the Ulster Unionist Party.[1] He was created a life peer on 16 July 1999 as Baron Laird, of Artigarvan in the County of Tyrone.[2]
Laird died on 10 July 2018 in Belfast at the age of 74.[3]
