Cancel & Annul Philip Green's knighthood
"John Mann, the Labour MP and member of the Treasury select committee, called on Green to repay £400m of dividends that were paid out of BHS, or give up his knighthood."
-The Guardian 26 04 16
The Honours & Forfeiture Committee can ask the Queen to "'cancel and annul' appointments and awards. Cancellation is considered in cases where retention of the appointment or award would bring the honours system into disrepute."
- Wikipedia
"Mann said: 'Sir Philip Green and his family have made millions out of BHS and its hardworking staff. He took over a company with a healthy pension pot, yet when he sold BHS a black hole had appeared in its fund."
