By | Thu 4th July 2024 - 10:30 pm

Congratulations to Caroline Pidgeon, our recently retired Leader of the Liberal Democrats on the London Assembly, who has been appointed to the House of Lords in the Dissolution Honours List.

Responding to the announcement, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

Caroline Pidgeon is a fantastic Liberal Democrat and has been an incredible public servant for more than a quarter of a century. She has a brilliant track record of fighting for better public services, from policing to public transport.

I am delighted to welcome Caroline to Parliament to fight for a fair deal for the British people.

Caroline Pidgeon MBE said:

It is a huge honour to be appointed to the House of Lords after 26 years of serving the public as a local councillor and then London Assembly member.

I am looking forward to working in Parliament to champion liberal values, mend our broken political system and hold the government to account.

I’m sure that those of us who have had the pleasure of working with her will be delighted to see her recognised, especially activists in Brent and Southwark, where she made her reputation before gaining her place on the London Assembly.
