§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Prime Minister how many nominations for honours in respect of the most recent Honours List were received broken down by each English county; and what percentage were successful. [87352]
§ The Prime MinisterEach year the Nominations Unit receive in excess of 7,000 nominations direct from members of the public. In addition, Government Departments will have received several thousand nominations from national organisations and members of the public. Information on nominations is not held in a form which relates them to particular counties or particular Honours Lists. Nor is it normal practice to release information about nominations.
However, my hon. Friend may wish to refer to the 1999 Birthday Honours List within the features section in the News Centre on the No.10 Downing Street website (http"//www.number-10.gov uk/i ndex.html) which contains information about those who have received honours.
