Was he really QC?

I query the postnominal QC attached to him, as he does not appear to have practiced as a lawyer long enough after qualifying to be awarded silk. If he was one, the year he took silk ought to be given to authenticate. Yesterday I was at Cardington (Shropshire) church (his family home Chatwall Hall was in its parish) where a memorial plaque to him and his wife has been put up in recent years and noted it described him as a "Privy Counsellor" (unless memory plays tricks), postnominal PC. I accept he could have been awarded QC honoris causa which would not depend on courtroom service.Cloptonson (talk) 05:44, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Found answer to my own question - he was both a PC and QC, according to sources I was able to read today. I will be inputting detail which will shed more just light on his legal career.Cloptonson (talk) 17:29, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Parliamentary private secretary to Airey Neave"? (section Political Career)

I have raised a citation need against the uncited statement he was a parliamentary private secretary to Airey Neave. During the time Corfield was an MP (ending 1974) Neave was never in government - it is normally ministers who have PPS's - and was on the backbenches until Margaret Thatcher made him her Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary in the later 1970s.Cloptonson (talk) 19:10, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
