HC Deb 08 July 1884 vol 290 cc506-7
MR. JUSTIN HUNTLY M'CARTHY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, in the event of Mr. Clifford Lloyd being restored to official position in Ireland, it will be to any position like that which he formerly occupied?

MR. TREVELYAN

I have nothing to add to what I have already stated—namely, that the present position of Mr. Lloyd is that he is a Resident Magistrate on leave, and that his leave will expire in September next.

MR. HARRINGTON

May I ask, whether the office filled by Mr. Clifford Lloyd in Ireland has not been abolished; and, whether the right hon. Gentleman intends to make a new position for him in Ireland now, because of his valuable services in Egypt?

MR. TREVELYAN

I cannot answer this Question. The office filled by Mr. Lloyd has been abolished; but there are analogous positions, somewhat fewer in number, in Ireland. As to the future of Mr. Clifford Lloyd, I cannot answer at present.
