After stepping down at the 2001 general election, she was created a Life peer as Baroness Golding, of Newcastle-under-Lyme in the County of Staffordshire[1] in the same year.

Baroness Golding was the peer who vouched for the two 'Fathers for Justice' protesters who threw a flour bomb at Prime Minister Tony Blair during Prime Minister's Questions on 19 May 2004.

By vouching for them, Golding made it possible for the pair to access an area of the Commons viewing gallery not behind a glass security screen.

Later the same afternoon, she apologised to the Houses of Lords and Commons for her part in the affair.
