A British government department has apologised for accidentally publishing online the home addresses of New Year Honours recipients, including police officers, politicians and celebrities. A Cabinet Office spokesman said the error had been fixed. "A version of the New Year Honours 2020 list was published in error which contained recipients' addresses," he said. "We have reported the matter to the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) and are contacting all those affected directly." Awards were given to England's cricket World Cup winners, top entertainers including Elton John, and prominent figures from politics and the legal profession.
