Ex Primeministers only able to propose honours list after serving full term

Petition Details

Ex PMs should only be able to propose an honours list where they were originally voted in via a national election and serve at least one full term in office. This would have prevented Boris Johnson from proposing an honours list.

Additional Information

The Government needs to change the current guidance with regards to ex PMs proposing an honours list when they leave office. They should only be allowed to make such proposals where they have served at least on full term in office and were originally elected via a national election.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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