Hon Jo Bloggs and Rt Hon Joe Bloggs

[gopher]

Hi all,

Not sure if I have the titles right, but can anyone explain, or point me at a site that can explain what “Hon” and “Rt Hon” mean? (I know “honourable” and “Right Honourable” but what is the distinction (if any).

I’d also like know who can use what title, what do you need to achieve this?

Cheers

Paul

Isn't "honourable" an MP, but "Right honourable" a member of the privy council?

Wosrt abuse of the word honourable in the english language if you ask me
