ABUSES OF HONOURS

Early day motion 1604, tabled 8 February 2006 by Gordon Prentice (Labour). Signed by 22 members.

That this House notes that since the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925 was put on the Statute Book there has been only one prosecution, in 1933; and believes with the passage of such a long time without prosecutions, organisations such as the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust should be reminded of its existence.
