HC Deb 19 February 1886 vol 302 c715
LORD CLAUD HAMILTON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether a gentleman had been appointed to the Recordership of Liverpool; and, if so, whether he had received any communication from the Corporation of Liverpool with regard to the salary attaching to the office; and whether any reply had been sent?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. CHILDERS)

said, he should reply to this Question on Monday, the Notice of it having only reached him a short time ago.

In reply to Sir E. ASSHETON CROSS,

MR. CHILDERS

said, that the appointment rested with the Home Secretary, and not with the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
