Houses of Parliament: Membership

Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay
asked Her Majesty's Government:

Under what circumstances, if any, membership of (a) the House of Commons, or (b) the House of Lords is compatible with non-resident status for United Kingdom tax purposes. [HL3379]

The Lord President of the Council (Baroness Amos)
I am not aware of any legal bar to membership of either House arising from non-resident status for United Kingdom tax purposes.

However, the House of Lords Appointments Commission's criteria for nominations states that nominees should be resident in the UK for tax purposes.
