The response position records the government's reply. It does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Committee's words)
In future the Political Honours Scrutiny Committee (p HSC) should be requested to scrutinise every case where a nominee for an honour of CBE and above has directly or indirectly donated £5,000 or more to a political party at any time in the preceding five years. The PHSC should satisfy itself that the donation has made no contribution to the nomination for an honour. (p 191)
