Who came up with this list, & when?

I recently lost/mislaid or had stolen my Passport, so I've had to go through the rigmarole of getting a new one. I have a "Lost or Stolen Passport Renewal Reference" thing from the Passport Office, so I'm good to go.
Then I found that the form needed a countersignatory (also a photo endorsed) by one of these trades, professions or callings.
Did you ever see a dafter list? What makes that list of jobs so special? How is a pub licensee, a Funeral Director or a bloody chiropodist better than, say, Tom the Cat Hater?
Countersignatories must work in (or be retired from) a recognised profession or be ‘a person of good standing in their community’, eg:
accountant
airline pilot
articled clerk of a limited company
assurance agent of recognised company
bank/building society official
barrister
chairman/director of limited company
chiropodist
commissioner of oaths
councillor, eg local or county
civil servant (permanent), but not someone who works for Her Majesty’s Passport Office (HMPO)
dentist
director/manager/personnel officer of a VAT-registered company
engineer - with professional qualifications
financial services intermediary, eg a stockbroker or insurance broker
fire service official
funeral director
insurance agent (full time) of a recognised company
journalist
Justice of the Peace
legal secretary - fellow or associate member of the Institute of Legal Secretaries and PAs
licensee of public house
local government officer
manager/personnel officer of a limited company
member, associate or fellow of a professional body
Member of Parliament
Merchant Navy officer
minister of a recognised religion - including Christian Science
nurse - RGN or RMN
officer of the armed services
optician
paralegal - certified paralegal, qualified paralegal or associate member of the Institute of Paralegals
person with honours, eg an OBE or MBE
pharmacist
photographer - professional
police officer
Post Office official
president/secretary of a recognised organisation
Salvation Army officer
social worker
solicitor
surveyor
teacher, lecturer
trade union officer
travel agent - qualified
valuer or auctioneer - fellows and associate members of the incorporated society
Warrant Officers and Chief Petty Officers
