Title A name given to the resource No. 10 and the See of Liverpool Subject The topic of the resource Archbishops and Bishops Procedure Description An account of the resource In 1997, Tony Blair rejected the Crown Appointments Commission's initial slate of nominees for the See of Liverpool. These documents shed light on No. 10's assessment of the candidates as well as the attitude of senior figures in the Church such as the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York. Minute These are formal communications from one minister to another or from a civil servant to a minister. Transcript A transcript of the document. From: John Holroyd Date: 20 June 1997 PRIME MINISTER Diocese of Liverpool The letter from the Archbishop of York reporting the outcome of the Crown Appointments Commission (CAC) for Liverpool has come to hand. It is attached to this note. The key parts are on the second and third pages, carefully drafted passages that I have marked. Their effect is to depress the case for going for Bishop Gavin Reid and also to cast doubt on whether the second name, that of Archdeacon George Cassidy, is good enough for Liverpool. The Archbishop’s letter does not change things compared to the previous notes that I have sent you, ie it opens the way for you to set aside Reid and to make a choice between (a) Cassidy and (b) asking the CAC to provide more names. Going for Cassidy is the lower risk in the short term, ie neither Archbishop could argue with your choosing him and the CAC would not have to be reconvened, but, if George Cassidy is not up to the job, then in the longer term the Diocese of Liverpool will suffer. I have profound doubts about Reid’s suitability and the same sort of doubts as the Archbishop of York about Cassidy. I would be ready to brave a resumed CAC! Do you want to go for Cassidy OR I am not against Cassidy or Reid but [illegible] like more names at least to test the water More names? ✓ [If, before you decide, you want to talk to the Archbishop of York he will not be available until you are back from Denver] (Sgd.)
