Controversial figures could lose knighthoods under honours system overhaul

Public figures who fail to meet "standards of integrity" could be stripped of their knighthoods under new plans, Theresa May has said.If re-elected, the Prime Minister said she would task the Cabinet Office with a review of the honours system to ensure it retains public confidence.Decisions on revoking honours are currently taken behind closed doors by Cabinet Office committees, but the review could change that process.
