Unfortunately, the current policy of the Prime Minister's office is to not award MBE's posthumously, however, I believe this policy needs to be changed for those whose contribution to the lives of others is not recognised whilst they are alive, or for people like Stephen whose life was cut short by cancer.  At the very least, the Prime Minister's office should make a special dispensation for Stephen who achieved so much in such a short time.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2014-05-15T19:34:20.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:58.809Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:44:19.531Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2014-05-15T19:34:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"honours","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
