Labour peer Lord David Lipsey has died while swimming in a river, police have confirmed.

Dyfed-Powys Police said it received a report concerning the safety of a man who was last seen swimming in the River Wye in Glasbury, Powys, on Monday.

After a multi-agency search on 1 July, officers confirmed the body of Lord Lipsey, 77, was recovered.

Police said his next of kin have been informed and have asked for their privacy to be respected.

Lord Lipsey, originally from Dorset, lived in Powys and was a patron of the Glasbury Arts Festival.

He had previously worked as a journalist for publications including The Times, The Guardian and The Economist before he became a Downing Street adviser under then Prime Minister Jim Callaghan, before entering the Lords in 1999.

He is also credited with coining the phrases “New Labour” and “winter of discontent”.

Lord Speaker John McFall said the upper chamber extended its “condolences to the noble Lord’s family and friends”.
