The appointment follows her work as a campaigner against drink-related violence after Mr Newlove was kicked to death by drunken teenagers.

She is the chair of the National Licensed1 Trade Association (NLTA) and accompanied new Prime Minister David Cameron in Bolton during the election.

The government has committed to balance the Lords with selected peerages(贵族) .

'Kicked like football'

Mrs Newlove launched the NLTA earlier this year to encourage better training for pub workers and a more responsible drinking culture in the UK.

The murder of her husband led to renewed(复兴的,重建的) national debate about Britain's youth culture.

He had walked out of his home on 10 August 2007 to confront(遭遇,面对) a gang which had vandalised(破坏) his wife's car, but was set upon(袭击,挑拨) and "kicked like a football" in front of his family.

Three teenagers were sentenced to life imprisonment2 for his murder.
