Appointments of Lords-Lieutenant.

HC Deb 09 July 1908 vol 192 cc93-4

MR. WATT

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether Lord-Lieutenancies of counties are now given as reward for work in connection with the Volunteers and the new Territorial Army; and, if so, will he say how many Lords-Lieutenant were appointed for Scotland during 1907 and 1908, and how many of these were appointed on account of their services to the Volunteer movement.

MR. ASQUITH

No, Sir. I would refer my hon. friend to the statement I made yesterday, from which he will see that these appointments are not made on the grounds suggested.

MR. WATT

Will the right hon. Gentleman answer the latter part of my Question?

MR. ASQUITH

I think the Answer I have given covers it.
