More Asians wanted on the Queen's Honours list
How many ethnic minorities have been on the Queen's Honours List in the last five years? Just 6.5 per cent of those given awards and that's not good enough, according to the body that looks after the honours. They say more people from minority backgrounds should be nominated and they are encouraging people to recommend members of their community. British honours are awarded on merit for exceptional achievement or service. They're given out twice a year on New Year's and in mid-June, the Queen's official birthday. Anybody can be nominated, but not many people from minority backgrounds know that. Priyanka Deladia reports.
