Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson nominated as 'people's peer'
Paralympic gold medallist Tanni Grey-Thompson is set to become a “people’s peer” after a recommendation from the House of Lords Appointments Commission.
Dame Tanni, a patron of Disability Sport Wales, is Britain’s most successful Paralympian, with 11 Olympic golds for wheelchair racing, as well as seven golds in World Championships.
The Cardiff-born wheelchair racer has set 30 world records in her career.
She will be one of four new non-party-political peers recommended to the Prime Minister by the commission.
Grey-Thompson was appointed a Dame of Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2005. She was appointed an MBE in 1993 and an OBE in 1999.
