The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 27 November 2024 to Question 14712, on Honours: Public Appointments, at what stage was each of the honours competitions when they were closed and then re-opened; and whether there had there been (a) interviews and (b) shortlists of individual applicants.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

PQ 14712 relates to three Honours Committee campaigns which were launched and closed in the summer of 2024: (i) Community and Voluntary Service (ii), Parliamentary and Political Service, and (iii) Diversity and Outreach (formerly called Representation and Outreach).

For all three campaigns no applicants were shortlisted nor did any interviews take place before the campaigns were relaunched
