HC Deb 09 March 1931 vol 249 c800
47. Sir ASSHETON POWNALL

asked the Prime Minister whether it is intended to appoint a Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster?

The PRIME MINISTER

A Chancellor of the Duchy is an essential part of the Administration. The office is not at the moment vacant.

Lieut. - Colonel Sir FREDERICK HALL

Does that mean that one of the Ministers of the Crown is now holding two offices?
