1.1 This exemption relates only to the conferring by the Crown of an honour or dignity. Neither 'honour' nor 'dignity' is defined in the legislation, but examples are considered below. Conferring of an honour or dignity by another body (eg the decision by a local government body to confer the freedom of a borough on a distinguished citizen or of an academic body to confer an honorary degree) will not be covered by this section, even though both types of award would loosely be described as honours.
