Supporters of Conservative economic policy letter have honours from Cameron

One in five of the business people who put their name to a letter supporting the Conservative’s economic credentials have been given honours by David Cameron, the Independent has reported.

The 103 signatories to the letter published this morning include four Conservative members of the House of Lords, all of whom were ennobled by David Cameron.

A further 18 people who have received 18 MBEs, OBEs, CBEs and knighthoods over the last parliament signed the letter.

The Conservatives said their signatories are representative of the best of British business.
