Related discussion concerning chair of the conference
I thought I should flag up a discussion I started at Talk:Imperial Conference. That article states that Robert Gascoyne-Cecil (ie Lord Salisbury) chaired the conference rather than Sir Henry Thurstan Holland as stated here. Salisbury was Prime Minister at the time, but it is perfectly possible that Holland as, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, was indeed the chair of the conference, especially as the next two conferences held in London (1897 & 1902) were chaired by Joseph Chamberlain, who was Secretary of State for the Colonies when they were held. Salisbury did give the opening address here, though it does not automatically follow that he was chair and this could be the source of confusion. Before amending Imperial Conference in this respect, I wonder if there is a source which could definitively confirm Holland was chair?
