Former first minister Carwyn Jones is to be made a life peer by Downing Street.
Also set for elevation to the House of Lords is ex-Cardiff West MP Kevin Brennan.
Mr Jones was first minister from 2009 to 2018, until he quit in the wake of the death of sacked Welsh government minister Carl Sargeant.
He was on the then Welsh Assembly's political scene since the start of devolution in 1999, when he was elected to become AM for Bridgend at 32.
He served in a range of cabinet jobs under predecessor Rhodri Morgan, including as minister for agriculture and counsel general.
