HC Deb 15 November 1830 vol 1 cc549-56

Mr. Stanley, referring to a question which he had before put to the right hon. Secretary for the Home Department, as to whether the situation of Clerk of the Council had been filled up, said that the right hon. Gentleman had declared that he knew nothing on the subject. He would now repeat the question, because he under-stood that the situation had been filled up, though he thought it was one which ought not to be continued, by the Lord President having appointed his own son to the office.

Sir R. Peel

could assure the hon. Member in sincerity, that till he came down to the House to-day, he knew nothing on the subject.
