RESIGNATION HONOURS

Early day motion 1493, tabled 16 May 2007 by Gordon Prentice (Labour). Signed by 12 members.

That this House believes that the resignation honours list is no longer appropriate or desirable and should be discontinued; and further believes that, instead, the retiring Prime Minister should be invited by the Speaker to make a statement from the despatch box acknowledging the special contributions named individuals may have made to the conduct and work of his or her administration.
