Asked

If he will make an assessment of the potential merits of bringing forward legislative proposals to help reduce the (a) number of steps required and (b) time taken to remove (i) honours and (ii) titles.

Reply

Peerages, styles, titles and honours are granted by the Sovereign. The Sovereign may change the entitlement to the titles and styles such as “Prince” and “Royal Highness” under the Royal Prerogative. An Act of Parliament is required to remove a peerage once conferred. Honours can only be revoked by the Sovereign, typically following a recommendation by the Forfeiture Committee to the Prime Minister.

What assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of emergency alerts being displayed in the language that the recipient's phone is set to.

Reply

The Emergency Alert system is a UK Government capability that allows time critical life saving information to be broadcast to phones within a certain area. English is the primary language Emergency Alerts are sent in. This is to ensure standardisation in message clarity and avoids the risk that any rushed translation may result in messaging which poorly conveys the necessary action to the recipient. However, where practicable, alerts impacting Wales will be sent in both English and Welsh. Local Resilience Forums also work with partners in a local area to alert people of an emergency. Owing to their local knowledge of each area, the Local Resilience Forums are well-equipped to ensure the relevant information is communicated to non-English speakers. The Cabinet Office will consider the feasibility for future technical improvements to the system in which an alert would come through in the language set by the individual user.
