asked the Prime Minister whether a Lord of the Treasury has been appointed in succession to the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster; whether the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster has ceased to exercise the functions of a Lord of the Treasury; and, if so, on what date?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN:

An appointment to the vacant Lordship of the Treasury has not yet been made. The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster ceased to act as a Lord of the Treasury from the date of his appointment to that office.

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN:

I cannot say without notice. A reference to the "Gazette" would inform the hon. Member.

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the appointment was not gazetted for weeks after it was announced here, and that the date is in question?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN:

"From the date of his appointment to that office' is the date when the appointment is gazetted.
