Olympic medal-winning swimmer and campaigner Sharron Davies has been named as one of three new Conservative peers.
Ms Davies, a vocal critic of trans women in women’s sport, was nominated by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch.
The Tories said it was in recognition of her sporting achievements and her campaigning on women’s rights.
Iceland supermarket chairman Richard Walker and former Number 10 communications director Matthew Doyle are among 25 new Labour peers nominated by Sir Keir Starmer. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey nominated five new peers.
