answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2024 answer text <p>Discussions with Scottish Ministers on the Post Office (Horizon System) Offences Bill have principally been led by the Minister of State in the Department for Business and Trade, Minister Hollinrake. I have not had discussions with the Lord Advocate regarding the Scottish Government’s proposed amendments to the Post Office (Horizon System) Offences Bill.</p><p> </p><p>Noting Scotland’s historically separate legal jurisdiction and the unique role of the Lord Advocate and Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service in respect of prosecutions in Scotland, it is the UK Government’s view that it is appropriate for the Scottish Government to bring forward proposals to address prosecutions on this matter in Scotland, and for those to be scrutinised by the Scottish Parliament. The UK Government remains committed to supporting the Scottish Government in bringing forward its own proposals.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Dumfries and Galloway answering member printed Mr Alister Jack question first answered 29/04/2024 08:00:53 answering member 4619 label Biography information for Mr Alister Jack

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2016 answer text <p>The recognition of foreign honours is a matter for the Royal Prerogative and is governed by convention. The convention has not changed in the last two years. My Department does not set rules or regulations for these matters.</p><p>The main distinction between Orders of which Her Majesty The Queen is Sovereign and those where The Queen is not Sovereign is that The Queen approves and appoints recipients of all awards in the former and the recipients can apply to receive their awards at an investiture in the UK.</p><p>There is no reciprocal recognition policy in place between each of the Realms concerning honours and associated titles. Whether a title associated with an honour awarded by one Realm is recognised in a second Realm is a matter for the second Realm.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 26/01/2016 14:51:02 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
