Government Websites: Titles

Debate between Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen and Lord Geddes

Thursday 9th June 2016 Lords Chamber

[Lord Geddes (Con)]

I am sure that I am not the only Member of your Lordships’ House who has had trouble with websites, be they government or not, regarding both titles and honours. Will my noble friend encourage all departments to form a joined-up Government in this respect?

[Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen]

That certainly is what will happen. The Government Digital Service is working very closely with all the departments to have joined-up thinking on how they do their forms. The Cabinet Office is looking into the possibility of a special field for honorifics.
