On 28 June 2001, she was made a life peer as Baroness Finlay of Llandaff, of Llandaff in the County of South Glamorgan. In 2003 she proposed a bill to ban smoking in public buildings in Wales, three years before it was eventually implemented. In 2007, Lady Finlay introduced a private members bill seeking to change the current system of organ donation from 'opt in' to 'opt out'. Parliamentary timing did not allow for this bill to proceed but the principle continues to be debated. Two years later she succeeded in changing government policy on organ donation to allow potential organ donors to be able to specify a family member of close friend to whom they wish to donate their organ(s).〔(Ilora Finlay, Baroness Finlay of Llandaff, Patron, ''Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale'' ).
