Lord Elton Excerpts

Thursday 9th June 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen]

I can certainly take that back to the department.

[Lord Elton (Con)]

My Lords, can my noble friend give me guidance? When I write to people similarly loaded with decorations, at what point in the catalogue does one simply put “et cetera”?

[Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen]

I thank my noble friend for that question. I do not think that one should ever put “et cetera”. One should just keep on adding them, because no one honour is better than the other, so it is right that one should put every single honour, one after the other.
