Asked by: Lord Watts (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to review the honours system for non-British taxpayers.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development)

UK honours may be awarded to British and foreign nationals either based in the UK, or those who contribute to the United Kingdom while based overseas. All nominees are subject to a range of probity checks, the outcomes of which are considered by the honours committees, alongside other relevant factors, when making their final recommendations.
