Sir George Younger’s new post
THE LONDON correspondent of the Glasgow Herald of Wednesday says: ‘I hear that Sir George Younger, who declined the Secretaryship of Scotland, has been appointed Chief Unionist Organiser in succession to Mr Steel Maitland, who will receive one of the Under-Secretarial posts in the Government.
‘Five years ago Mr Balfour appointed a committee to inquire into the whole organisation of the Unionist party and as a result of that investigation it was decided to separate the parliamentary duties of the Chief Whip from the work of organisation in the country.
