Statistical information held in relation to the regional breakdown of recipients at all levels for the New Year Honours List 2024 can be found below. Percentages are rounded to 1 decimal point. Data for CBE and higher levels has been aggregated and is also included below. Data reflects the correspondence address provided by recipients.

Data is collected using county and aggregated into regional figures. Information on the number of nominations by mayoral region, including for both South Yorkshire and Sheffield is not captured, as we are unable to break down the data in that way.

This data relates only to the main Prime Minister’s List and does not include data from the Defence List or the Overseas and International List, which are not administered by the Cabinet Office.

Transparency data for the list by county, the level of award received and the service for which each recipient has been recognised for, as well as information on recipients recognised in previous honours lists is publicly available on gov.uk.

Honours are awarded on merit basis. A key aim of the honours system is to ensure that it is more representative of the country as a whole and we will continue to encourage more nominations from every corner of the UK, including South Yorkshire, in future honours lists.

We do not collate the geographical data for Companions of Honour (CH) recipients in each list nor do we track the current geographic locations for all 63 living CH recipients.

(1) All Companions of Honour nominations are assessed by one of ten expert independent honours committees on the basis of merit. The political affiliation(s) of each prospective nominee is not taken into consideration during this independent process and therefore this information is not collected by the government.

Current recipients of the prestigious Companions of Honour include those who have made a major contribution to the arts, science, medicine or government lasting over a significant period of time.

Fast Stream and Emerging Talent (FSET) have introduced a new Summer Internship Programme (SIP) and in doing so broadened the eligibility criteria so that people from all backgrounds can now apply for internship opportunities - thus acknowledging a wider definition of diversity in line with the CS D&I Strategy. The separate eligibility strand for disabled applicants has been removed based on consistent performance evidence showing that disabled applicants have a higher success rate than non-disabled applicants for the Fast Stream. Nevertheless disabled applicants are still able and encouraged to apply to the SIP. Eligibility for the Fast Stream graduate programme is not affected in terms of disability.

This decision, in respect to disability, was based on a substantial internal review of disability outcomes for the Fast Stream graduate programme (for which the internship is a feeder scheme). An equality impact assessment was completed also based on the review. Due to changes to our selection process and associated performance of those with a disability and strong, inclusive brand we anticipate there will be minimal impact.

The review highlighted that disabled candidates at Fast Stream selection no longer demonstrated under-representation, as was previously the case. There has been strong disability representation at the Fast Stream appointment stage - at 25.5% in 2021 and 22.7% in 2022, against a higher education (HESA) university population benchmark of 17.1%.

In respect to consultation, we have liaised on this decision with Fast Stream scheme holders, SIP SPOCs, Government Legal and the CS Inclusive Practice team.

We previously removed the SDIP disability strand in 2011 when representation exceeded our benchmark.

We will continually monitor outcomes to ensure an inclusive, fair and evidence based approach for all centrally coordinated early talent programmes.

The criteria for ex-officio eligibility to attend the Accession Council was based primarily on whether Privy Counsellors were serving in a senior parliamentary, judicial or Church post at the time of Demise. This was the most practical way to reflect the fact that the role of the Privy Council is to advise on the exercise of prerogative powers and certain functions assigned to The King and the Council by Act of Parliament.

There are over 720 Privy Counsellors but only those currently serving in senior parliamentary, judicial and Church roles play an active role in Privy Council business. The majority of Privy Counsellors have no active involvement in Privy Council business; some Counsellors have not been actively involved in Privy Council business for decades.

Additional criteria used to determine ex-officio eligibility included:

1. Privy Counsellors who were senior, full-time Members of the Royal Household at the time of Demise.

2. Former office holders who had a close working relationship with the Sovereign (former Prime Ministers, Archbishops and Lord Presidents).

3. Former opposition leaders (representing Privy Counsellors from all political parties who no longer have an active role in Privy Council business).

The decision from Number 10 was made by the Prime Minister in office at the time (The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP).

The decision not to summon all Privy Counsellors to the next Accession Council was taken on the advice of the Privy Council Office and with the collective agreement of the Lord President and Number 10. The Royal Household was also consulted on the basis of this collective advice.

The published list of attendees at the Accession Council held on 10th September 2022 is available on the Privy Council website, and can be found here. This includes both members of the House of Lords and non-members. Attendees were identified on an ex-officio basis, or by ballot, and we do not hold a separate list identifying those who were members of the House of Lords or their affiliates.

The Privy Council Office does not record information relating to past or present political party memberships held by Privy Counsellors.

The exact number of Privy Counsellors eligible to be summonsed to the Accession Council on 10th September 2022 was determined in accordance with revised attendance arrangements set out in a letter from the Clerk of the Council to Privy Counsellors in March 2022. The majority of Privy Counsellors were selected on an ex officio basis. In addition, a small number of Privy Counsellors not eligible to attend on an ex officio basis were selected via an annual ballot.

The Privy Council Office provides the Secretariat to the Privy Council and is a constituent part of the Cabinet Office. The Minister with responsibility for the Privy Council Office is the Lord President of the Council and Leader of the Commons, the Rt Hon Penny Mordaunt.

Relevant Government policy ministers are accountable to Parliament for all matters conducted through the Privy Council.

The Privy Council Office is not responsible for estimating the number of people who can be safely accommodated in the Picture Gallery of St James' Palace.

St. James's Palace has a maximum occupancy figure for each of its State Rooms developed in line with the relevant legislation on public safety (including fire safety and evacuation) in historic buildings.

The published list of attendees at the Accession Council held on 10th September 2022 is available on the Privy Council website, and can be found here.

There are currently 63 living recipients of the Companion of Honour. Information is only held on 41 living recipients. Honours data is routinely destroyed by the Cabinet Office in accordance with our data retention policy for honours and not all the nominations were processed by the Cabinet Office, therefore we do not hold all of the information requested.

Data is collected using the county that the recipient gives as their correspondence address; this is usually their current home address and does not necessarily reflect their area of origin.

Government departments have a set of processes in place to tackle fraudulent websites set up by private companies, for example sites purporting to be government using government-type domains. The nature of the action depends on the type of site and can include asking the domain registrar to suspend the domain, reporting to Action Fraud or National Trading Standards or reaching out directly to organisations concerned to tell them to stop using misleading branding or information. In some cases, we work with the Government Legal Department to take direct legal action.

Some sites, although potentially misleading, are able to operate within legal boundaries. In these cases, we work to ensure that government services are correctly listed and rank highly in search engine results. This helps to ensure that they are easy for people to find and identify as government services. Where misleading websites have paid for prominent positioning in search results, we also raise this with the relevant search engine.

I should advise that National Security Vetting (NSV) undertaken by Her Majesty’s Government, remains separate from concurrent industry background checks. Background checks as conducted by industry can take between 12 and 14 weeks to complete. The Department for Transport (DfT) has implemented changes to help reduce these industry timescales utilising HMRC data to support reference checks.

The Cabinet Office acts as a service provider for NSV clearances only. For national security reasons I am unable to share processing times for security clearances. However, I can advise that United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV) expedite all NSV cases for the aviation industry, in response to operational challenges currently impacting the aviation sector. Security checks for the aviation sector are being processed in a timely manner with no current delays.

In line with the practice followed by successive administrations, the Government does not otherwise comment on security matters.

In 1952, Part I of the Accession Council was held on Wednesday 6th February 1952. There were 191 attendees, comprising some 165 Privy Counsellors, representatives of the Realms and the Commonwealth, and the City of London. Part II of the Accession Council was held on Friday the 8th February 1952, on the return of The Queen from Kenya, and attended by 175 Privy Counsellors.

Revised arrangements for an Accession Council on the Demise of the Crown have been put in place following a routine review of operational delivery arrangements.

The updated arrangements are an equitable and proportionate response to three key challenges identified during the review:

First, the number of Privy Counsellors potentially eligible to attend an Accession Council has increased exponentially since 1952.

Secondly, whilst it has long been agreed that St. James’s Palace is the most appropriate setting for the Accession Council, the historic nature of St. James’s Palace presents a number of significant challenges in terms of capacity, accessibility and crowd flow.

Thirdly, the pace at which an Accession Council must take place means that very limited additional infrastructure and provision can be put in place to support dignified delivery of such an important occasion.

Attendance arrangements for previous Accession Councils has varied and - like current planning - took into account contemporary operational challenges. There is no constitutional understanding that all Privy Counsellors must be summonsed to an Accession Council.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), as the UK’s cyber security authority, frequently publishes advice to help individuals and organisations make informed, risk based decisions on the provider they use.

In 2017, the NCSC published specific guidance on managing the risk of cloud-enabled products - https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post/managing-supply-chain-risk-cloud-enabled-products - and in particular recommended that audio visual equipment sourced from Russian companies should not be used on government systems dealing with national security matters.

Data is collected using the county that the recipient gives as their correspondence address; this is usually their home address and does not necessarily reflect their area of origin. Figures on representation in London and South East England should be viewed in that light.

There are also wide variations within localities. Whilst the ceremonial counties of the Lord Lieutenancy areas make precise comparisons challenging, I would note for example, that Greater Manchester received 3.2% of the awards (relative to 4.2% local authority share of the population) and West Yorkshire has 2.8% of the awards (relative to a 3.5% share of the population) – far greater representation than many other parts of the country.

Clearly, there is more to do, particularly to encourage more nominations for outstanding contributions from across all parts of the United Kingdom.

Nominations, which are made by members of the public, come directly to the Cabinet Office. Alongside this, organisations, charities and businesses make nominations directly to other government departments and to the Devolved Administrations. Therefore, a complete record of all honours nominations submitted is not held by the Cabinet Office. There are no plans to publish data on nominations.
