HC Deb 21 June 1883 vol 280 c1146
MR. BROADHURST

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether it is the intention of the Government to abolish the office of Lord Privy Seal?

MR. GLADSTONE

Her Majesty's Ministers have not yet finally decided as to how they will advise Her Majesty with regard to the Office of Lord Privy Seal. The question is connected with some other matters of administration; but they will take care that the House is informed of their intention before they come to the consideration of any vote on the subject.
