Lord Wei, the youngest peer in Parliament and the Condems 'young gun' on 'Big Society' issues has had to give up volunteering three days a week because it is "incompatible with having a life".
"Much of Wei's work has focused on how to free ordinary people from the daily grind to give them more time to do voluntary work and involve themselves in their communities under the big society plans."
"Whitehall sources said that when he was invited to take the role he had expected it to be remunerated but was told only the night before that it was a voluntary post and there would be no salary." (Guardian)
You couldn't make this up if you tried!
