As with former Prime Ministers we will award former First Ministers (and Deputy First Ministers in Northern Ireland) with life peerages in the form of making them Companions of the Order of Timanfya (CT). This allows them to sit in the Model House of Lords and/or take up a title. They will receive this upon resignation.

Former First Ministers (or dFMs in NI) who have not received these honours already will now be appointed Companions of the Order of Timanfya. They are (in order of appointment):

Scotland:

• /u/mg9500

Northern Ireland:

• /u/KeelanD
• /u/Ibutonic (Deputy)
• /u/ExplosiveHorse (Deputy)
• /u/Trevism
• /u/ctrlaltlama (Deputy)

/u/SPQR1776 is also recognised for their service even though they are already a Companion of the Order of Timanfya.

To take their title and be added to the scroll of lords as with other achievement peers the above mentioned should contact the Lord Speaker. To sit in the House of Lords they must swear in.

Some long-serving First Ministers (or dFMs in NI) will also receive the order of chivalry associated with their constituent country. This applies to the following:

Scotland (Knight/Lady Companion of the Order of the Thistle):

• /u/mg9500

Northern Ireland (Knight/Lady of the Order of Saint Patrick):

• /u/SPQR1776
• /u/Trevism
• /u/ctrlaltlama (Deputy)

Former, long-serving British Prime Ministers will become Knight/Lady Companion of the Order of the Garter (or one associated with another constituent country if they wish to). This applies to the following:

• /u/DF44
• /u/InfernoPlato
• /u/DrCaeserMD

None of the orders have been bestowed upon currently serving (Deputy) First Ministers or Prime Ministers.
