User Suggestion: List titles and honours for MPs and Lords

Open JenMysoc opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

From a user: "I would like to request that on profiles of peers and MPs, you list their honours and titles. It is a special thing to have an honour and/or title and I am sure most people would be extremely proud to have them. For example, if I look for "Sir Edward Leigh" in your search bar, his profile does not come up, if I search for "Edward Leigh" it does.

I am not saying that you go all out and list their names as e.g. "The Rt Hon Kenneth Harry Clarke CH QC MP", nor am I saying they should be listed as e.g. "Kenneth Clarke CH QC" or for Knights/Dames you list them as "Sir Michael Fallon KCB". My request is that the name of the Peer/MP with a knighthood/damehood be listed as e.g. "Dame Caroline Spelman" and upon clicking onto their profile there would be a Wikipedia style section of "titles and honours", all the titles and honours and the year they received them would be listed. This would also include whether the member of either house has been sworn of Her Majesty's most Honourable Privy Council.

With peers, e.g. The Earl of Home, his lordship's name has already been listed as such, however his honours are not listed behind his name. It would be appropriate if the honours were listed in a section in his profile."
