I’d mentioned previously that Conservative peers McAlpine and Laidlaw have chosen to quit the Lords rather than have to end their non-dom tax status. With the deadline for making a final decision approaching they have been joined by a third Conservative peer – Lord Bagri – and a crossbencher – Baroness Dunn.
A fourth Conservative peer, Lord Ashcroft, has instead given up his non-dom status as has the Labour peer, Lord Paul.
UPDATE: Lord Foster has also quit the Lords in order to preserve his tax status, though from the Parliamentary records it doesn’t looks as if he was ever much of a contributor to the Lords.

Times must be tough at Bagri and Dunn towers. Or perhaps they were just never that fussed about that whole ‘scrutiny and oversight’ thing. Good to see people choose their principles over their day job, at any rate…
