New Year’s Honours List Doesn’t Include Heroes Of Grenfell Tower Or Terror Attacks<\/b>
\nThe government faces questions after it was revealed the New Year\u2019s honours list doesn\u2019t include heroes of the Grenfell Tower fire, Manchester or London terror attacks.<\/p>\n

Those awarded gongs include Graham Brady, chair of the influential 1922 committee of backbench Tory MPs,\u00a0who is given a knighthood alongside former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg.<\/p>\n

However, specific figures from the Grenfell fire and attacks on Westminster, Manchester, London Bridge and Finsbury Park are notably absent from Friday evening\u2019s list.<\/p>\n

It comes after calls<\/a> from newspaper columnists and people on social media for first responders and emergency service personnel to be honoured.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheresa May… when you are giving out honours think of Grenfell and think of the brave London Fire [Brigade] and emergency services,\u201d one person urged the Prime Minister on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope they all receive due recognition in the New Year honours list. A list free of celebrity froth, and civil servant careerists, wouldn\u2019t go amiss,\u201d columnist Tom Richmond wrote\u00a0last week in The Yorkshire Post.<\/p>\n

First responders to the terror attacks across Britain this year have been recognised elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Heroic frontline NHS staff who helped victims were given special recognition and a standing ovation at a major health industry conference in September.<\/p>\n

Firefighters who attended Grenfell were awarded the This Morning Emergency Services prize at last month\u2019s Pride of Britain awards.<\/p>\n

And the entire community around the west London tower block was given special recognition\u00a0at the same event.<\/p>\n

The New Year\u2019s honours process can take many months to complete, with a government secretariat receiving 10,000 enquiries from the public each year, resulting in some 3,000 nominations.<\/p>\n

As well as suggestions from the public, government departments ask schools, hospitals and other bodies for ideas on who to nominate.<\/p>\n

A group of committees sits to consider suggestions across areas such as voluntary and community service, education, health, and the economy.<\/p>\n

Once a list is compiled, it is sent to the Queen through the Prime Minister and Downing Street.<\/p>\n

System \u2018relies on nominations\u2019<\/p>\n

Those whose heroism became apparent in the days following Grenfell and recent attacks could be honoured at a later date.<\/p>\n

Another list, the Queen\u2019s Birthday Honours, will be announced in June 2018.<\/p>\n

And in a press statement, the Cabinet Office said the honours system \u201crelies on nominations\u201d and that these remain open all year round.<\/p>\n

And with reference to Grenfell and recent terror attacks, it said: \u201d[W]e urge everybody to nominate the person in their lives that they think deserves an honour.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to see inspirational action by people up and down the country – and not least in response to significant events such as the Grenfell Tower fire, or recent terrorist attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

A total of 49% of the recipients on the list are women<\/a>: 551 out of 1,123. A total of 9.2% are BAME and 5% are disabled.<\/p>\n
