The Cabinet Office list shows that eight individuals were removed in March, with a further five removed in October. Reasons include criminal convictions, professional censure and bringing the honours system into disrepute. Jeffrey Donaldson, who previously led the Democratic Unionist Party, had his knighthood revoked and was recently handed a 15-year sentence for past sexual offences committed against two women during their childhood.
