Conservative MP Chris Philp says that given the overall number of people who receive honours, the resignation list from David Cameron is a "very small number".

Speaking to the World at One, Mr Philp says awarding government workers was recognition that they "earned a great deal less than they could do" if they worked in the private sector.

He argues that the prime minister's resignation list "hasn't been finalised" or been through the vetting committee and the public should reserve judgement until the final list is put forward to the Queen.
