Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether in the past 24 months the Queen has declined any of the the Forfeiture Committee’s recommendations for the forfeiture of a person's honour.
This question was answered on 21st January 2019
Recommendations that the recipient of an honour should forfeit their award are made by the independent Honours Forfeiture Committee, which refers its recommendations, via the Prime Minister, to Her Majesty The Queen, acting on the advice of Her Ministers. In the past two years, the Forfeiture Committee’s recommendations that forfeiture should take place have all been approved.
