HC Deb 13 September 2004 vol 424 cc1441-2W
Mr. Drew

To ask the Prime Minister what procedures are in place for the removal of an honour from an individual convicted of it serious crime in this country or abroad. [188409]

The Prime Minister

Her Majesty the Queen may, on the advice of Ministers, cancel membership of any of the Orders of Knighthood or appointment as Knight Bachelor. Cancellation is considered in cases where the retention of the appointment or award would bring the honours system into disrepute. Proposals for forfeiture are considered on a case-by-case basis.
