HC Deb 25 March 1890 vol 342 cc1804-5
MR. HANDEL COSSHAM (Bristol, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether Lord Arthur Somerset is still a Justice of the Peace for Monmouthshire, and also Deputy Lieutenant of the same county?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. MATTHEWS,) Birmingham, E.

I am informed by the Lord Chancellor that steps have been taken to remove the name in question from the county of Monmouth. I am informed by the War Office that the name is not on the list of Deputy Lieutenants for that county.

MR. HANDEL COSSHAM

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether Lord Arthur Somerset has received any money, or will receive any pension, as Major in Her Majesty's Ser- vice, which he resigned 5th November, 1889?

* THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. E. STANHOPE,) Lincolnshire, Horncastle

Lord Arthur Somerset has not received, and will not receive, any pension whatever.
