Talk:John Hutton, Baron Hutton of Furness

message: Isn't it rather difficult to say that Hutton was succeeded by Hilary Armstrong as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, when the position has been vacant for almost 6 months? -- ALoan (Talk) 15:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Official government photos of British politicians cannot be used on Wikipedia as Crown Copyright is not a sufficiently free license. Because the subjects are living and make frequent public appearances, they are regarded as readily replaceable with free images. So I guess this is challenge.... If John Hutton (or one of his colleagues) is going to be in your area and you have a spare minute, grab your digital photos and get snapping! Hopefully we'll get a new photo soon. All efforts appreciated.WJBscribe 01:11, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

message: There seem to be two Lord Huttons - this would seem to be rather unusual and worthy of an explanation by someone ( I have no idea why, myself). Can anyone explain it?
Thanks

replies: text: It is not unusual. There is technically only one "Baron Hutton", the other one. The subject of this article is Baron Hutton of Furness. Of course, both are called "Lord Hutton" in practice. The way it works is that a life peer cannot have the same title as another peer, including another life peer (the rule is similar, but not exactly the same, for hereditary peers). Because Brian Hutton became Baron Hutton in 1997, John Hutton couldn't do so in 2010, even if Brian Hutton had died. John Hutton could have chosen something completely different (John Gummer became Baron Deben, not because Gummer was taken, but because he wanted to). Otherwise, he has to tack something on to "Hutton", peers usually choose a location, such as a town they've lived in or they've represented in Parliament (which is what Hutton did). -Rrius (talk) 23:17, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I can't find who recommended that Hutton be given a peerage in the article. I suspect that it was the Tories, as I don't think Hutton and Gordon Brown were best mates. If it was, it surely deserves mentioning that a former Labour MP got recommended for a peerage by the Tory party, as that can't have happened all that often.--Theresonator (talk) 23:30, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Brown did in fact recommend Hutton as part of his Dissolution Honours list. There are reasons aside from friendship why a prime minister might recommend a fellow party member for a peerage. -Rrius (talk) 07:53, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
