Re: Are these people a special case

Anyhow, back on with the subject of this thread...

'Lord Ashcroft is not the first wealthy peer to fall foul of public anger after being less than transparent over his non-domiciled tax status.
In 2007 the Scottish Tory Lord Laidlaw of Rothiemay was forced to take extended leave of absence from Westminster after it emerged that he had failed to keep a promise to become a UK tax resident but remained in tax exile in Monaco'

'Lord Laidlaw, a colourful figure who admitted to sex addiction after being caught in a Monaco hotel room with four prostitutes and a male gigolo in an April 2008 sting by the News of the World, ranked number 100 on the Sunday Times rich list in 2007 after selling his stake in his international conference business for £713 million.'

'He was nominated as a potential life peer by Iain Duncan-Smith in 2004.'
