Theresa May awarded peeragepublished at 00:32 British Summer Time 5 July
Former prime minister Theresa May, who stood down as Maidenhead's MP before the general election, will sit in the House of Lords.
The nominations were announced less than an hour before polls closed in the general election on Thursday.
Sir Alok Sharma, who was the Conservative MP for Reading West from 2010 until he stood down earlier this year, is also given a peerage.
He was the president of the climate COP26 conference in November 2021.
In what could be one of his final acts as prime minister, Rishi Sunak has also given honours to five of his Conservative colleagues.
Oliver Dowden, the deputy prime minister and close ally of Mr Sunak, will be knighted, as will the former Northern Ireland Secretary Julian Smith, the former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace and the Scottish Secretary Alister Jack.
