Honours
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he has made a recent assessment of the potential merits of reinstating awards of honours under the Order of St Patrick.
Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds
The Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick is in the personal gift of The Sovereign. The UK Government is not considering the restoration of The Order of St Patrick.
Nominations for existing honours are open to all citizens within the four nations of the United Kingdom.
