[edit] Lord or Lady Advocate?

Now that Elish Angiolini has been officially nominated to replace Lord Boyd as Scotland's first female chief prosecutor, we can speculate on whether – if her nomination is successful – she would become the Lord Advocate or the Lady Advocate. If the former, and she (like her predecessor) is given a peerage would she then become Lady Angiolini, Lord Advocate. Or would she have to remain Lord Angiolini, Lord Advocate?Phase4 13:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

No speculation is required, as she won't be the first woman to hold a Lord XXX position. When Margaret Jay, Baroness Jay of Paddington was Lord Privy Seal she was called "The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Jay of Paddington)" (Hansard). So she'll be Lady Angiolini, the Lord Advocate.

For the time being, she will simply be Elish Angiolini, the Lord Advocate - Colin Boyd was in the job for 6 years before being created a life peer.--George Burgess 16:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Privy Council

Just a quick note about the correct title for Elish, it's Rt.Hon Elish Angiolini and not Elish Angiolini PC. - Unless somehas has as title created for them (as in a peerage) or already have a title, such as an existing peer or member of a foreign monarchy, they don't carry the letters PC after their name, instead it permits them to be called The Rt.Hon Elish Angiolini. Colin Boyd, in his time as Lord Advocate was titled The Rt. Hon Colin Boyd QC. Kind Regards - Heligoland | Talk | Contribs 10:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
