Rejected petition Change the rules on eligibility for Prime Minister’s resignation honours list.

Only Prime Ministers who complete a full term of office in Government will be eligible to submit a resignation honours list.

PMs who are forced to resign or breech the ministerial code will not be eligible regardless of the above.

More details

It is completely inappropriate for the British people to recognise honours given to the friends or associates of disgraced or very short term Prime Ministers serving for only a few months.

It’s about honours or appointments.

The submission of nominations for honours and appointments by outgoing Prime Minister's is a convention, and the Government and Parliament cannot prevent outgoing Prime Minister's from submitting such nominations.
