HC Deb 23 May 1927 vol 206 c1647
46. Mr. DIXEY

asked the Prime Minister whether he has considered the question of making the office of Lord Chancellor a non-political appointment; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

The answer to both parts of the question is in the negative.

Sir HARRY BRITTAIN

Is it possible to find anyone with sufficient intelligence to be appointed by the Prime Minister, who possesses no political opinions?
