The Government publishes honours transparency data broken down by both town/city and county. Data is collected using the county the recipient gives as their correspondence address (usually their home address rather than their places of origin). This data relates only to the main Prime Minister\u2019s List and does not include data from the Defence List or the Overseas and International List, which are not administered by the Cabinet Office.
