§ MR. ASHLEY (Lancashire, Blackpool)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether Mr. Owen Ellis has been appointed as an official receiver in Wales; and whether such an appointment necessitates any qualification of a legal character.
§ MR. KEARLEYMr. Ellis Owen— not Mr. Owen Ellis—has been appointed as an official receiver in Wales. The Answer to the second part of the hon. Member's Question is in the negative.
§ MR. ASHLEYIs there any precedent for appointing to such an office a gentleman without legal qualifications?
