She reported the rental income on the register of Ministers' interests and more importantly for tax purposes, she just forgot a different register of Lords' interests. Nothing was really hidden, so why all the fuss?

"When the discrepancy became apparent this week, I immediately informed the Registrar of Lords' Interests of its omission. I repeat: at all times my ownership of the flat and the fact that it was being let out was fully disclosed to Cabinet Office officials and HM Revenue and Customs, and was appropriately reported on the register of Ministers' interests held by the Government."
Speaking of reporting of income for tax purposes, whatever happened to Tessa Jowell and her hubby about their tax dodging and money laundering. They eventually paid the tax, but had deliberately planned not to, until they were caught out. Eventually paying the tax is proof that they wanted to dodge it.
