Statistics relating to public nominees for Honours

The request was refused by Main Honours Advisory Committee.

Dear Main Honours Advisory Committee,

I would like to know (for the period of the latest Honours review 2015-2019) what percentage of publicly nominated Honours nominees were awarded Honours - in other words, of the total submissions received by the Cabinet Office for this period, what number were awarded Honours.

If this information is not available, what is the proportion of recipients for the same period that were nominated by the public?

Yours faithfully,

Mike McKie

The honours nomination process

For more information about the honours process, please visit:
[1]https://www.gov.uk/honours. You may find it useful to refer to our
guidance [2]How to Write a Nomination. Alternatively you may want to watch
the following video: [3]Completing an Honours nomination form.

Update on a nomination

If your query concerns an update on a nomination that you have submitted,
please be aware that each nomination can take at least 18 months to be
fully considered, sometimes longer. We value further updates to the
nominee’s achievements, including further letters of support so please
feel free to submit them to us at any time.

Bravery and/or Gallantry Awards

If your emails concerns  a Bravery or Civilian Gallantry award, please
take this as an automatic acknowledgement that we have received your
nomination. They will be actively considered.

"The object of giving medals, stars and ribbons is to give pride and
pleasure to those who have deserved them. At the same time a distinction
is something which everybody does not possess. If all have it, it is of
less value. There must, therefore, be heartburnings and disappointments on
the borderline. A medal glitters, but it also casts a shadow. The task of
drawing up regulations for such awards is one which does not admit of a
perfect solution. It is not possible to satisfy everybody without running
the risk of satisfying nobody. All that is possible is to give the
greatest satisfaction to the greatest number and to hurt the feelings of
the fewest."  Winston Churchill
