The elevation of Lib-Dem MP Norman Baker from the Transport Department to the Home Office has been met with surprise but may yet have commercial advantages for him. He is still receiving royalties from his 2007 book on Dr David Kelly, which speculated that the government scientist was murdered. This August he declared an income of £214.79 from it. Expect more royalties to come, especially if his appointment increases the possibility that there will now be an inquest into Dr Kelly’s death.
