John MacDonald Lyon CB (born 12 April 1948)[1] served as British Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2012.[2][3]

In 2009 Lyon's workload was increased by the MPs expenses scandal, which generated considerable interest in parliamentary standards or rather the lack of them. In 2010 he became involved in investigating a cash for influence scandal. Despite working on such high-profile cases, Lyon himself maintained a low profile, something which attracted adverse comment.[4]

In 2012 Lyon stood for election to the Council of the National Trust but was not elected.[5][6]
