&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If a new Lord Chancellor is appointed in June 1983 before the new Parliament meets it will be necessary for him (or the current occupier) to sign a Submission letter leading to the issue of the Commission to open Parliament. [someone has drawn an I-shaped line through the middle of this paragraph]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Following precedent it looks as though the Lord Chancellor’s Submission and Commission for the new Speaker will need to be despatched to the Palace on the afternoon/evening of Wednesday 15&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; June in order that it may be signed by The Queen and returned ready for use in the House of Lords on Thursday 16&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; The Lord Chancellor’s submission should NOT arrive at the Palace before the Prime Minister’s Submission. &lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;✔ They were submitted together&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If there is to be a change of Lord Chancellor [&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;^&lt;em&gt;There was no change&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;] the Submission letter will, of course, need to be signed by the new Lord Chancellor.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;No. 10 returned &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;the Commission&lt;br /&gt;&amp;amp; the LC's Submission&lt;br /&gt;today. Pat (?) 16.6.83&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crown Office,&lt;br /&gt;May 1983.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&#13;
It is interesting that both the Prime Minister and the Lord Chancellor had to make submissions to Queen Elizabeth II.  It is not clear why two separate submissions were deemed necessary. Although the Prime Minister's was expected to precede the Lord Chancellor's, in this case they were submitted together.</text>
