Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925

The Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925 (15 & 16 Geo. 5. c. 72) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, that makes the sale of peerages or any other honours illegal. The act was passed by the Parliament in the wake of David Lloyd George's 1922 cash-for-honours scandal. In 2006 a number of people connected to the Labour Party government of Tony Blair were interviewed voluntarily at Downing Street in connection with alleged offences under the 1925 Act.
