Proceeding contribution from Gordon Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 April 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Honours System (Reform).
Honours System (Reform)
: Is it not the case that our society is still, in the 21st century, hierarchical? The honours system underpins that. Even today it would be inconceivable for a school teacher to be made a dame, or a police inspector to be given a knighthood.
