    Sir Kevin Barron, Labour MP for Rother Valley and chairman of a committee which polices ethics in the Commons, is knighted for his political and public service.
    In October 2012, Sir Kevin was found to be using taxpayer funds to rent a family home from a shadow Cabinet minister.
    The Daily Telegraph disclosed that Mr Barron claimed £1,500 a month to rent a home belonging to Jon Trickett, a shadow Cabinet Office minister between July 2011 and September 2012, after selling his taxpayer-funded flat for a £500,000 profit.
    Sir Kevin said at the time: "The rental agreement I had with Jon Trickett has now terminated. Whilst it is within the rules, in retrospect it would have been better not to have rented off a colleague."
    Why are people like this getting knighted?
