I find myself rather pleased to learn that Martha Lane Fox is to become Baroness Lane-Fox of Soho. Martha will become the youngest female peer.
I think Martha has done a great job as the UK’s Digital Champion. Not only that, but she always comes over as a rather lovely person without the arrogance often associated with a role close to Number 10. The way she has coped with the aftermath of her serious car accident is quite inspiring.
Having a tech-savvy, young lady on the red benches surely is a good move. Unsure what the other crusty old Lords will make of her though!
