how are Lord Lientenants appointed?

[edit] Correct plural

• Surely the plural of Lord Lieutenant should be Lords Lieutenant not Lord Lieutenants? Lincolnite 22:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Nope, its Lord-Lieutenants, see: Department for Constitutional Affairs [1] or "The official website of the British monarchy" [2] Lozleader 12:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Note that "Lieutenant" is the original part of the name, and "Lord" seems to have been added on at the front almost by accident. Morwen - Talk 21:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Schedules to Lord-Lieutenants (Scotland) Order 1996

I note that The Lord-Lieutenants (Scotland) Order 1996, OPSI website, referenced in the article, seems not to include the schedules to the order, and it is those schedules which would define the lieutenancy areas.

They are there if you click on "continue" at the bottom of the page you will find Schedule 1 that defines the areas and Schedule 2 that deals with the continuance in office of a number of deputy lieutenants. Lozleader (talk) 15:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
