If there’s enough evidence that they were able to effect the changes they were boasting of, yes; otherwise all you’ve really got is a bunch of ageing men trying to make huge amounts of money from dubious consulting posts (the Blairite dream in a nutshell, there) and bigging themselves up in the tearoom in trying to land the contracts. There will be huge pressure on them to make themselves scarce after this but, failing a prosecution that could stick, there isn't anything anyone could actually do.
Lord Taylor, incidentally, is the only peer who isn’t denying what he said, but instead is claiming, brilliantly, that he knew the Sunday Times guys were undercover reporters from the off and was simply “stringing them along”.
