Dear Mr Pownall,
Regarding Lord Sheldon and designation of his 'main home'
We are writing to formally ask you to investigate Lord Sheldon, focusing on the situation
regarding the designation of his main home. Lord Taylor has claimed over £130,000 for
a house in Manchester he gave away to his son in 2003. It is alleged that since 2003 the
semi-detached property has been owned by Lord Sheldon's son Terry who lives there
with his wife Carol. But he claimed 'overnight subsistence' for the home until May this
year when he made London his main home because he says his wife was ill.
The evidence above points Lord Taylor's primary home being in London where he lives
with his wife. It would appear to us that there is a prima facie case for Lord Sheldon to
answer concerning these arrangements and that further investigation, with the full
compliance of Lord Sheldon, is needed so this matter can be cleared up.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in advance and we would appreciate an
acknowledgement of this letter by email or telephone.
Yours sincerely,
