| | That these views were not shared by Lord Salisbury was sufficiently shown by the fact that in his first administration (June 1885 - January 1886) he made Mr Balfour president of the Local Government Board, and in forming his second administration (July 1886) secretary for Scotland with a seat in the cabinet. | | | His work was also constructive, for he broadened the basis of material prosperity and social progress by creating the Congested Districts Board in 1890. | | | On the death of Mr W. Smith in 1891 he became first lord of the treasury and leader of the House of Commons, and in that capacity introduced in 1892 a Local Government Bill for Ireland. |
