HC Deb 16 June 1899 vol 72 c1340
LORD BALCARRES (Lancashire, Chorley)

I wish to ask the Under Secretary to the Home Department a Question of which I have given him private notice—whether the answer which the right hon. Gentleman gave to my hon. friend the Member for the Exchange Division of Liverpool yesterday with reference to the appointment of Sir Arthur Charles was accurate.

*THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. JESSE COLLINGS,) Birmingham, Bordesley

The answer was not quite correct in one particular—the statement that a Dean of Arches is not now appointed. On further inquiry I find that Sir Arthur Charles has been appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury to the office of Dean of Arches. In all other respects the answer is correct.
