HC Deb 11 June 1992 vol 209 cc286-94W
Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list(a) the names and (b) the occupations of each lord-lieutenant and deputy lord-lieutenant in Scotland; who is responsible for their nomination; what salary, honoraria, allowance or expenses each receives; and if he will make a statement.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Lord lieutenants in Scotland are appointed by Her Majesty. Deputy lieutenants are appointed by the lord-lieutenant, once he has been informed by the Secretary of State that Her Majesty does not disapprove of the appointments which the lord-lieutenant proposes. No salary, honoraria or allowances are paid, but lord-lieutenants may claim reimbursement of expenses incurred as a result of their official duties. Current information about occupations is not held centrally. The names of lord-lieutenants and deputy lieutenants are as follows.
