§ Brian WhiteTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much time his Department spent dealing with honours in the last year for which figures are available, broken down by Civil Service grade. [173045]
§ Ruth KellyThe Treasury has a designated honours secretary at Range D (HEO/SEO) level for whom work in this area takes up around 10 per cent. of working hours.
The Management Board meets twice a year for an hour to consider nominations. Members of the Management Board also spend a very small amount of their time considering honours-related issues, but it is not possible to disaggregate this.
Information is not available on time spent on honours-related work by other staff within the Treasury and across its associated bodies.
