Former building regulations minister handed knighthood in the Queen’s birthday honour list
Former building regulations minister Andrew Stunell has been awarded a knighthood in the Queen’s birthday honour list.

Kapoor, designer of the Orbit at the Olympic Park, received a knighthood while Heatherwick was awarded a CBE.
