HC Deb 04 May 1877 vol 234 cc316-7
LORD FREDERICK CAVENDISH

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether it is intended to advise Her Majesty to fill up the sinecure office of Master of Saint Catherine's Hospital now vacant?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER,

in reply, said, that some time ago a Commission was appointed, with Lord Hatherley at its head, to inquire into the position of this institution. That Commission had made a Report containing separate recommendations on the subject of increasing the utility of the institution, as the funds had increased, and that Report was now under consideration.
