A truly scary duo.
Quote:David Cameron gave a government advisory post to Conservative donor Lord Ashcroft despite objections from Nick Clegg, the BBC understands.
The peer and former Tory deputy chairman will lead a review of the UK's military bases in Cyprus.
But he has come under fire from Labour and Lib Dem MPs, including the deputy prime minister, over his tax status.
A source said Mr Clegg made it clear he was "not keen" on the appointment, but the prime minister chose to go ahead.
In a statement, Defence Secretary Liam Fox confirmed that Lord Ashcroft would undertake the role of senior independent advisor to the review of the Cyprus bases.
He will work alongside Conservative MP and former Army officer Patrick Mercer.
