Transcript A transcript of the document. CROWN OFFICE, HOUSE OF LORDS, S.W.1. 23rd May, 1952. Dear Pitblado The Office of Lord Great Chamberlain, the Great Officer of State who has charge of the Palace of Westminster, is hereditary, being descendible in “tail general”. This means (among other things) that when a holder dies leaving no son and more than one daughter, the right to the office is vested in two or more persons as co-heirs. The duties then have to be performed by deputy. The Office has been held by co-heirs for very many years and the duties have been performed by various Deputies. The procedure is for the co-heirs to meet and by unanimous consent appoint one of their number or one of their nominees to discharge the duties of the office, and for that Deputy nominate to petition The Queen for Her Majesty’s approval of the appointment. Lord Ancaster was so appointed in 1901, and Lord Ancaster in 1910. Lord Ancaster’s son was nominated and was appointed Deputy in February 1929 by The King. The recent demise of the Crown has caused the co-heirs to the Office of Lord Great Chamberlain to meet. The co-heirs are the Marquess of Cholmondeley, the Earl of Ancaster and Lord Carrington. They have agreed to nominate the Marquess of Cholmondeley as their Deputy and for that purpose have completed a Deed of Nomination. In accordance with usual practice Lord Cholmondeley has sent his Petition and the supporting Deed of Nomination to this Office. They are in order, and accordingly I now forward them herewith. The next step is for the Prime Minister, if he thinks fit, to put forward Lord Cholmondeley’s name to The Queen for Her Majesty’s approbation, since Her Majesty has signified Her pleasure, or for you to instruct the Home Office to prepare a Warrant signifying The Queen’s approval of the selection of Lord Cholmondeley to execute the office of Deputy Lord Great Chamberlain. When the Home Office receive your instructions, they will need the enclosed documents for the preparation of the Warrant. I am sending a copy of this letter to Strutt at the Home Office. (Sgd.)

(62) 176 2nd November, 1962 COPY NO. 45 CABINET APPOINTMENT OF THE SERJEANT AT ARMS Note by the Acting Secretary of the Cabinet On 1st November the Cabinet discussed the two Questions addressed to the Prime Minister standing in the name of Mr. Charles Pannell, M.P., about the appointment of the Serjeant at Arms (C.C. (62) 65th Conclusions, Minute 1). Later the same day the Prime Minister, together with the First Secretary of State and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, discussed this matter with The Queen’s Private Secretary. I annex for the information of the Cabinet a note of this discussion. (Sgd.) A. L. M. CARY Cabinet Office, S.W.1. 2nd November, 1962. ——— APPOINTMENT OF THE SERJEANT AT ARMS The Prime Minister, together with the First Secretary of State and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, discussed this question with Sir Michael Adeane, The Queen’s Private Secretary, after the meeting of the Cabinet on Thursday, 1st November. It was confirmed that as a matter of long-standing tradition The Queen had appointed the Serjeant at Arms under the prerogative and without formal advice. The Palace of Westminster was a royal palace and the Serjeant at Arms was appointed by The Queen, as for other royal palaces, to maintain good order; in the particular case of the Palace of Westminster his services were in this capacity lent to Mr. Speaker, but this in no way affected his position as a member of the Household. <div style="border-top:2px solid #000;margin:2em 0;"></div> Page 2 While this was the formal position, in practice The Queen’s Private Secretary consulted Mr. Speaker on an informal basis before any new appointment was made; in the present case Sir Michael Adeane had written to Mr. Speaker earlier in the year about the general requirements for a successor to the late General Hughes—who had already made known his wish to retire—and had subsequently exchanged letters with Mr. Speaker about the suitability of the present incumbent. There was also a recent precedent, and another in the time of Disraeli, for conveying to The Queen the feelings of the House about the claims of a particular individual. In these two cases The Queen had exercised the prerogative in accordance with the wishes expressed. After a short discussion, it was agreed that the Prime Minister’s reply to Mr. Charles Pannell should rehearse the traditional and historical background to the appointment, and should refer openly to the fact that there had on this occasion been informal consultation with Mr. Speaker; but should add that it was the general wish of the House that the Prime Minister would be ready to convey to Her Majesty the sense of the House where it was obviously placed on considering the question whether on future occasions the views of the House should be conveyed to Her in some more formal way before she exercised the prerogative. The Prime Minister said that he would circulate the draft of a statement on these lines to those concerned and would also discuss it with Mr. Speaker during the course of the evening. The stage would then be set, if the House so agreed, for further discussion of the precise method of consultation which it might be appropriate to adopt; there would be advantage in associating the Leader of the Opposition with these discussions.
