To take on the role, he was granted a peerage, becoming Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton, and took a seat in the House of Lords.

- Sunday, 02 October 2011
Over 35,000 people attended an anti-cuts march in Manchester, protesting government cuts and tax avoidance. The march was organized by the TUC to coincide with the Conservative Party conference. Protesters called for extra spending to encourage growth and for tax avoidance to be tackled. Some protesters from the Occupy group staged a sit-in in Albert Square while others attempted to break into the Bridgewater Hall. There were no arrests made during the march, but one woman was treated for head injuries after falling during the event.
