House of Lords (Members’ Taxation Status) Bill [HL]

I think that noble Lords will find that it is relevant. Could I please again have a definition of ““domicile””? The definition is that domicile can be applied to a person in both countries: the host country and the country of his nationality. If you are German or French, you cannot necessarily change your domicile, as the noble Lord, Lord Goodhart, has done. ““Domicile”” is the word that worries me. Residency is not an issue, although initially domicile was linked to residency. The amendment would remove the word ““domiciled””. I am suggesting that we either remove the word ““domiciled”” or explain it in a way that is acceptable to the international community in London.
