Lord Ahmed said he got the powder all over his shirt and shoes after opening a letter addressed to him.
After raising the alarm he was told security was treating it as “chemical or biological warfare”.
The House of Lords was put into lockdown and Lord Ahmed told to stay exactly where he was while security experts carried out a sweep of the building.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, Lord Ahmed said: “The letter was addressed to me and I opened it.
“There was some white powder in there and another envelope with some abuse in it.
“I got the powder all over my trousers and shirt and threw it in the bin, then it suddenly occurred to me that the powder could be anything.”
