Sir Alan Duncan? Rutland & Melton MP
David Cameron has been accused of “abusing” the honours system today apparently he is recommending knighthoods to three ministers who left their posts this week.
Two Conservative MPs are in line to be made Knights Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George.
They are Alan Duncan, who left his post as International Development Minister, and Hugh Robertson, who was a Foreign Office Minister and former Olympics Minister.
Oliver Heald, who was Solicitor General until Monday night’s pre-shuffle cull of “male and pale” ministers, will get a knighthood.
It is also emerging that veteran minister Kenneth Clarke, 74, is being chosen for one of the highest honours in the gift of the Queen, which is to become a Companion of Honour.
