HC Deb 28 November 1888 vol 331 c459
MR. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N.W.)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether it was true that Sir Henry Blake, the rejected of Queensland, had been appointed Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, in the room of Sir Charles Warren?

THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

I am sure the hon. Member must be aware of the utter absurdity of his question.

SIR WILFRID LAWSON (Cumberland, Cockermouth)

Will the right hon. Gentleman say if it is true, as reported in the morning papers, that Mr. Monro has been appointed Chief Commissioner?

MR. W. H. SMITH

It is true.
