Hon and Right Hon[edit]

On the lists of the members of the committee, the use of Hon and Rt Hon or even The Hon and The Rt Hon is wildly inconsistent. Being members of Parliament make them automatically Hon and any members of the Privy Council become Rt Hon. I have no particular view on what should be put but just think they should be consistent throughout the article. PoliceSheep99 (talk) 19:53, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@PoliceSheep99: Very late reply but you don't get "The Hon" automatically as an MP—this is a popular mixup that comes from MPs being addressed as "honourable members" in Parliament but that doesn't signify an actual title. The circumstances in which you do get it are a bit complicated and explained over at The Honourable#United Kingdom. For the record I think listing honours in these lists is pointless, especially "MP", but it seems to be the accepted style in these articles. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 23:11, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
