§ THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (THE EARL OF ONSLOW) moved that the Lord President be added to the Select Committee on House of Lords Offices. The noble Earl said: My Lords, it is a Standing Order of your Lordships' House that when the Lord President is a member of this House he should be a member of your Lordships' Offices Committee. My noble friend Viscount Halifax, as Lord Privy Seal, which office he filled until recently, was a member of the Committee, but when he became Lord President he ceased to be a member, and it was necessary, therefore, in accordance with the Standing Order, and, I am sure, in accordance with the wish of your 922 Lordships, to move that he be added thereto.
§ Moved, That the Lord President be added to the Select Committee on House of Lords Offices.—(The Earl of Onslow.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
