Business question from Gordon Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have a debate on the honours system? In 2004, the Public Administration Committee made a number of wide-ranging recommendations about getting rid of knights, dames and name-changing honours, but all that was shelved. There is growing concern that the system is open to abuse and that people are, in effect, buying honours. Is it not time that we had an early debate on the matter?
