The former Permanent Secretary at the Department of Finance, Sue Gray, has been appointed as a Life Peer by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
The former Civil Servant gained greater recognition after she was tasked with investigating a series of lock-down parties at 10 Downing Street while Boris Johnson was Prime Minister. After leaving the civil service, she was appointed as Chief of Staff to Sir Keir Starmer and remained in the role until she stood down at the beginning of October stating that she "risked becoming a distraction" following public discourse about her salary.
Ms Gray was born to Irish immigrants who moved to Tottenham in the early 1950s and following her father's sudden death in 1975, she abandoned her plans to go to university and opted to enter the Civil Service. After a lengthy career a the Cabinet Office, Sue Gray returned to Northern Ireland in 2018 after she was appointed Permanent Secretary at the Department of Finance.
