Something I hadnt noticed but was flagged up in the Recent BBC interview with Lord Sugar was that Members of The House of Lords basically have to pay full whack of UK tax on their taxable income - no non-dom or other preferrential rates from the date of their elevation.

I suppose it could by legislation be extended to any buisesses entity the Lord has a controlling interest of which might make things more interesting on tax avoidence by some corporations
