:The article says, Section 218 of the Local Government Act 1972 that established the new system stated: "Her Majesty shall appoint a lord-lieutenant for each county in England and Wales and for Greater London..." --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:55, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

message: 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. Laurel Bush (talk) 14:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 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)

message: Years ago I read that Lord Simcoe (as colonial governor) tried to establish an aristocracy in British North America.  The title Lord Lieutenant was issued to members of the province's Legislative Council (upper house).  Can't seem to find this anywhere - assistance appreciated in advance.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.233.33 (talk) 15:54, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia Project template for this article, the list of Lord Lieutenants, and for Custos rotulorum and the list for Custos rotulorum was a puzzle for me, and American (Anglophile, but still...), but I have decided that the Royalty template here can be applied to all of those articles. The Lord Lieutenants are appointed by the Sovereign, and the Custos rotulorum were in many cases appointed by the Sovereign. 
Anyone who decided differently, please say why and make the change. Politics does not appear to be an issue, but perhaps I am wrong about that. --DThomsen8 (talk) 16:01, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I looked up The Order of Precedence in England & Wales, but I can't see what precedence Lords Lieutenant hold. If I had to guess i'd would assume it would be the same as the monarch. If someone knows this it would be a useful addition to the article. 121.73.7.84 (talk) 11:41, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: They would appear to be first in precedence in the area they represent according to http://www.debretts.com/forms-of-address/professions/local-government/order-of-precedence.aspx just one county as an example west sussex says Modern precedence is defined by a Royal Warrant of 1904, as amplified by a Home Office Memorandum of 1928 whereby the High Sheriff takes precedence in the county immediately after the Lord-Lieutenant except where precedence is deferred to a Lord Mayor, Mayor or Chairman of the local authority when they are undertaking municipal business in their own borough or district. http://www.westsussex.gov.uk/your_council/lieutenancy_civic_and/high_sheriff.aspx MilborneOne (talk) 12:21, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In the following sources, the office of Lord-lieutenant is hyphenated. I propose that this page and relevant linked pages (specifically the lord-lieutenants pages for each county) should be moved to be hyphenated. I would like to gather a consensus before carrying out the move.
* Lieutenancies Act 1997
* Debrett's
* Local Government Act 1972

thread_title:  Rename page [[Lord-lieutenant]] 

message: The first sentence of the England and Wales section seems to lose its way: "Lieutenants were first appointed to a number of English counties by King Henry VIII in the 1540s, when the military functions of the sheriff were handed over to him." It appears that "him" refers here to each lieutenant not to the king, though the king is the only singular antecedent in the sentence. The section goes on in the singular - can one of the page authors clear up the confusing syntax? Billfalls (talk) 04:53, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another plural issue 

message: The Manual of Style is quite clear - titles of offices, in the general sense, are written in lowercase on Wikipedia. Mauls (talk) 15:08, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

message: <quote>As the sovereign's representative in his or her county, a lord-lieutenant remains non-political and may not hold office in any political party. </quote>
But of course this hasn't always been true. Early in the last century, there were definitely Lord-lieutenants who held political office during their tenure - the 8th and 9th dukes of Devonshire, for instance. When did this change? john k (talk) 04:50, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

message: Would someone gifted at copyright issues please have a look at the section Duties, as the bullet points and subsequent sentence seem to be very similar to the corresponding passage on this external website? Thank you! OJH (talk) 20:16, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This piece of information had been on Wikipedia at least since 2006 (see: Special:Permalink/60752458#Present-day), so it is very likely that the lieutenancy's site has copyright issues, not Wikipedia. The section Scotland is also heavily copied to Scottish lieutenancies' official sites, rendering them unreliable sources. ネイ (talk) 02:15, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
