HC Deb 23 June 1898 vol 59 c1242
SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury what arrangements are contemplated in view of the probable retirement, owing to superannuation, of Mr. O'Dowd from the office of Deputy Judge Advocate General?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I am informed by my noble Friend the Secretary of State for War that Mr. O'Dowd will retire at the end of the present financial year, and that it has been arranged that Sir John Scott, late judicial adviser to the Khedive, shall succeed him. Sir John Scott will begin his duties in October in order to have six months' service with Mr. O'Dowd.
