To ask the Prime Minister (1) how many honours in the birthday list were awarded to personal secretaries in the civil list; [34390](2) how many honours in the birthday list were awarded to
(a) civil servants, (b) local government officials, (c) local authority councillors and (d) police officers. [34391]
[holding answer Monday 17 July 1995]: My recommendations for the birthday honours list contained 1,055 names. Of these 434 were given specifically for their voluntary service, and many others had also given voluntary service which supported their other claims. The list included 10 personal secretaries in the civil service out of a total of 171 civil servants at all grades, including many working for agencies. The list also included 11 local government officials, 13 local authority councillors and 28 police officers.
