Written Question
Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925
Tuesday 19th January 2021

Asked by: Lord Garnier (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to reform or update the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925.

Answered by Lord True - Leader of the House of Lords and Lord Privy Seal

The Government currently has no plans to review the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925. It is against the law to sell an honour or a peerage under the Act. Anyone who has evidence that an organisation or individual is claiming to be selling honours should be reported to the police.
