§ MR. ERRINGTONasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether Rule 75 of the Colonial Regulations relative to the tenure of public offices apply to, and are enforced in, all the judicial and fiscal appointments in the Island of Barbadoes?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEIn reply to my hon. Friend, I have to say that the case of Barbadoes, which is very exceptional, is covered by the words "generally speaking" in that Regulation. I may mention that the chief fiscal officer in Barbadoes, although confirmed by the Governor, is appointed annually by the Assembly.
