Chairman of Ways & Means

The office of Chairman of Ways & Means was introduced before 1832. The House of Commons website states that "Before 1910 the appointment of Chairman of Ways and Means was always made in the Committee of Ways and Means, the Committee of Supply or other Committees of the whole House (although, if opposed, the motion had to be taken in the House itself). The full minutes of proceedings of meetings in Committee were not recorded in the House of Commons Journal until 1900, and thus the precise dates of appointment of Chairmen before this date cannot be determined with absolute certainty. In most cases the date given has been that on which the Chairman makes his first report from the Committee to the House. In a number of instances, Committees of Ways and Means and of Supply appear to have met at the commencement of a Parliament before the appointment of a permanent Chairman; in the interim, Government Whips or junior Ministers appear to have undertaken the duty of reporting from the Committee until a chairman was appointed."
