THE LORD PRIVY SEAL (EARL JELLICOE)My Lords, I have to acquaint the House that Her Majesty has appointed Admiral Sir Frank Roddam Twiss, K.C.B., D.S.C., to be Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, in succession to Air Chief Marshal Sir George Holroyd Mills, G.C.B., D.F.C., and that he is at the door ready to receive your Lordships' commands.
