Oxford, he became in 1843 private secretary to IIr See also:Gladstone at the See also:board of See also:trade. He was afterwards legal secretary to the board; and after acting as one of the secretaries to the See also:Great See also:Exhibition of 1851, co-operated with See also:Sir See also:Charles Trevelyan in framing the See also:report which revolutionized the conditions of See also:appointment to the See also:Civil Service. He succeeded his grandfather, Sir Stafford Henry Northcote, as 8th See also:baronet in 1851. He entered See also:Parliament in 1855 as Conservative M.P. for See also:Dudley, and was elected for See also:Stamford in 1858, a seat which he exchanged in 1866 for See also:North See also:Devon. Steadily supporting his party, he became See also:president of the board of trade in 1866, secretary of See also:state for See also:India in 1867, and See also:chancellor of the See also:exchequer in 1874. In the See also:interval between these last two appointments he had been one of the commissioners for the See also:settlement of the " See also:Alabama " difficulty with the See also:United States, and on Mr Disraeli's See also:elevation to the See also:House of Lords in 1876 he became See also:leader of the Conservative party in the See also:Commons. As a See also:finance See also:minister he was largely dominated by the lines of policy laid down by Mr Gladstone; but he distinguished himself by his dealings with the See also:Debt, especially his introduction of the New Sinking Fund (1876), by which he fixed the See also:annual See also:charge for the Debt in such a way as to provide for a See also:regular See also:series of payments off the See also:capital. His See also:temper as leader was, however, too See also:gentle to satisfy the more ardent See also:spirits among his own followers, and party cabals (in which See also:Lord See also:Randolph See also:Churchill—who had made a dead set at the " old gang," and especially Sir Stafford Northcote—took a leading See also:part) led to Sir Stafford's See also:transfer to the Lords in 1885, when Lord See also:Salisbury became See also:prime minister. Taking the titles of earl of Iddesleigh and See also:Viscount St Cyres, he was included in the See also:cabinet as first lord of the See also:treasury. In Lord Salisbury's 1886 See also:ministry he became secretary of state for See also:foreign affairs, but the arrangement was not a comfortable one, and his resignation had just been decided upon when on the 12th of See also:January 1887 he died very suddenly at Lord Salisbury's See also:official See also:residence in See also:Downing See also:Street. Lord Iddesleigh was elected lord See also:rector of See also:Edinburgh
University in 1883, in which capacity he addressed the students on the subject of " Desultory See also:Reading."
