REVIEW OF HONOURS SYSTEM

Motion Text

That this House notes the Honours List made public on 11th June; commends those on the list who have worked hard for little or no reward in the voluntary, community and local government sectors; however calls upon the Government seriously to re-examine the rationale that rewards those who, either, in the course of their highly-paid and secure employment or because of attaining celebrity status, are given similar recognition in contrast to those worthy recipients.
