HC Deb 22 January 2001 vol 361 cc469-70W
Mr. Ben Chapman

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office if she will make a statement on the operation of the honours system. [145321]

The Prime Minister

I am answering this question as it relates to matters for which I am responsible.

The honours lists which I recommend to the Queen include the names of around 1,000 people in all walks of life whose achievements deserve recognition.
