	Ashcroft stirs Belize row \| Special reports \| Guardian Unlimited
		The embattled Conservative party treasurer, Michael Ashcroft, last night insisted he would become "a voice for Belize" when he returns from tax exile to take his seat in the House of Lords, despite the controversy aroused by his business dealings in the Caribbean state.
		The billionaire financier provoked angry protests when he declared his intention to take the title Baron Ashcroft of Belize, which critics took as a calculated snub to the unprecedented strings attached to his peerage by the political honours scrutiny committee (PHSC).
		It was Mr Ashcroft's overwhelming influence on a previous government in Belize, including his role in drafting its offshore banking rules and as the country's UN ambassador, that triggered last year's uproar about the suitability of the "man who bought the Tory party" to be its treasurer.
