The Lord Lieutenant of Lanarkshire Lady Haughey CBE DL was deeply saddened to learn of the death of former Deputy Lieutenant Millar Stoddart. In response to this very sad news the Lord Lieutenant said ” Millar was a Deputy Lieutenant from August 2015 until he retired in August 2022. Millar was a pleasure to know as a person; he always had words of encouragement and support and was very proud of his role as a Deputy Lieutenant. I was fortunate to have Millar as a Deputy and was delighted when his contribution to sport and his community was recognised with the extremely well deserved award of an MBE .
Millar made an absolutely massive difference to many lives, communities and organisations during a lifetime of committed public service in Lanark , Lanarkshire and beyond . He will be very sadly missed and my thoughts and sympathies are with his wife Moira and all his family and friends at this sad time . ”
