A recent Privy Council decision declaring Trinidad and Tobago\'s top national honour as unlawful may have repercussions in Britain.



The Privy Council ruled that Trinidad\'s Trinity Cross discriminated against Hindus and Muslims because it was based on a Christian cross.



The Times newspaper reports that the UK Cabinet Office, which oversees the honours system, is studying the implications of the judgement on British decorations.
