Vicky Pryce stripped of honour by the Queen An announcement in today's edition of the London Gazette says: "THE QUEEN has directed that the appointment of Vicky, Mrs. PRYCE, to be a Member of the Civil Division of the Third Class, or Companion, of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, dated 13 June 2009, shall be cancelled and annulled and that her name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order." Mr Gwynne had written to the Prime Minister insisting it was "profoundly unacceptable" for her to still hold the title. Mr Gwynne had written: "It has occurred to me that whilst Ms Pryce has rightly been jailed, she continues to hold the title of Companion of the Order of the Bath. I would therefore like to ask you to call a meeting of the Honours Forfeiture Committee to consider the case for removing Ms Pryce's honour. I have no doubt that the vast majority of the public will find it profoundly unacceptable that a convicted criminal with such disregard for British justice continues to hold such an illustrious honour. I hope that you will carefully consider my request and agree with me that Miss Pryce's continued position as a Companion of the Order of the Bath is profoundly unacceptable. The Honours Forfeiture Committee, chaired by Sir Bob Kerslake, head of the civil service, and made up of three chairmen of the Whitehall honours committees, last year removed the knighthood of Fred Goodwin, the former Royal Bank of Scotland chief executive. The committee considers cases where an individual has been jailed for more than three months or has been struck off or censured by a professional body for failings relevant to the granting of the honour.
