At the age of 28, Plaid Cymru’s Carmen Smith will take her seat as Baroness Smith of Llanfaes.
She will be introduced to the Lords by former Plaid leader Lord Wigley of Caernarfon and former Green Party leader Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle. She will take the oath in Welsh.
“We came of age amidst the global recession and austerity, seeing the decimation of youth services and the growing mental health crisis. “As someone who grew up in a rural, underprivileged area, I experienced the lack of connectedness, lack of infrastructure, that so many of our communities still face.“I chose ‘Llanfaes’ as my title as I wanted to send a message. I wanted to shine a light on the experiences of people in areas like mine.
“In a House of Lords where not many members will look like me, I know that I will have to shout loudly. I’m ready for that.”
