Honours
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether members of honours committees have a role in identifying people to receive honours.
Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds
I can advise him that there have been no changes to the guidance or policies that were in place under the previous government. Honours committee members have no formal role in identifying people to receive honours. Members play a role in supporting Government departments to build pipelines of possible future nominees in their area of expertise.
