Who's his ma and pa? 80.0.7.138 (talk) 15:12, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added this information to the article from Who's Who - they don't seem to be notable though. TrottieTrue (talk) 02:00, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Peerage

According to some sources, Young was granted a life peerage on 15th May this year, and relevant entries were edited to reflect this; however, revisions have been made to several of these, stating that he has not yet been made a peer. There seems not to be any definite confirmation, as even the GOV.UK press release is worded thus: 'HM The King has been graciously pleased to signify His intention of conferring the following Peerage of the United Kingdom for Life'. Does that mean that it has been conferred or it will be conferred? I should suggest the former, as Young was also made a Permanent Lord-in-Waiting, and cannot hold that position while a commoner. What do others think, please? ZeroAlpha87 (talk) 15:20, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I consider it a grey area. Until it’s gazetted we don’t even know what his title will be, NBC did initially report it as “Lord Young” but he could be Lord Young of X or even Lord X. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 15:37, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It appears as if it already has been: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4363559. ZeroAlpha87 (talk) 15:50, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It’s only a notice that he will be made one, pretty much exactly the same as the notice issued on GOV.UK. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 16:24, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
