He may or may not have been a non-dom ... In that sense he is in exactly the same position as many other people in the House of Lords – Lord Paul, a Labour donor who the prime minister has just made a privy counsellor … has also been in that situation.
It is effectively a senior House of Lords clerkship, but it's not an easily understood position: I was permanent secretary to the lord chancellor's department, but I was not acting in that capacity.
They agree that there is now no reason why you should not put in motion the procedures leading to Mr Ashcroft's introduction to The House of Lords …. the question of Mr Ashcroft's domicile does not apparently have to be resolved at this stage …

Like any other Bill, the Digital Economy Bill will now be considered in the House of Commons. It has received significant scrutiny in the House of Lords and has been debated and considered at second reading, committee stage, report stage and third reading.
We are delighted that the private member's bill to protect children from the dangers of sunbeds has made it through the final hurdle in the House of Commons and will now pass to the House of Lords for consideration.
MOST people in the UK are opposed to having bishops sit in the House of Lords, according to a new poll.
There will be firm proposals in our manifesto for an elected House of Lords.
If I could do something useful in the House of Lords, it would be quite nice
Of course you couldn't introduce that reform until after an election, but there will be firm proposals and they build on the big changes we have already made to the House of Lords ... The removal of the hereditary peers... has transformed it from being essentially a one-party Tory assembly with very lit...

David Cameron keeps claiming he supports change. Let's see if he supports kicking all his chums with hereditary peerages out of the House of Lords.
I like coming to events like these. I studied history myself at university so I was more than happy to answer any questions. We chatted about the House of Lords and some politicians, as well as history and some of the things I've done. It was very interesting.

Reform of the House of Lords is now inevitable ...
