Proceeding contribution from Andrew Turner (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 April 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Honours System (Reform).
Honours System (Reform)
: I am a little confused by the hon. Gentleman's elision of status with achievement, as compared with service, because he has compared both status and achievement with service. In my constituency, there is a young lady in her twenties, I believe, from a working-class family in Derbyshire, who was made a dame because she was the fastest woman to sail around the world single-handedly. That is about achievement, not status. Can the hon. Gentleman tease those issues out slightly better?
