honours list

The resignation honours list is a tradition that gives outgoing prime ministers the opportunity to nominate people for honours – often key allies, donors and staff.

The former adviser to Boris Johnson was the youngest member of the House of Lords when she became a peer last year, after being nominated by the ex-prime minister in his resignation honours list.

He remains one of Scotland's all-time leading try scorers and was awarded an MBE in the 2024 New Year honours list for services to rugby union.

Ms Truss was widely criticised for submitting an honours list after only 49 days in the job.

The pair are believed to be the first mother and daughter to receive the same award in the same honours list.
