With the spotlight falling on former Tory leader William Hague over what he did or didn't know about the tax activities of Lord Ashcroft, this issue is definitely not going to go away. It was Hague himself who nominated Ashcroft for a peerage when he was Party leader.
Lord Ashcroft looks set to hound the Conservatives right up to the General Election.
I agree with the assessment of the BBC's Political Editor, Nick Robinson, that the Conservatives now look 'secretive and evasive over this affair. This flies in the face of the more open image that David Cameron has worked so hard to project and is the last thing the Party needs so close to the electorate going to the polls.
