Point of Order

Caroline Nokes Excerpts

Monday 15th December 2025 Commons Chamber

[Sarah Bool (South Northamptonshire) (Con)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. On 12 November, during Prime Minister’s questions, the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) and leader of Reform announced that the

“Reform-led West Northamptonshire Council will be issuing foreclosure notices on three migrant hotels”—

including one in my constituency—

“within the next few days,”

because of

“grave public concern about the safety of women and girls on the streets of West Northamptonshire.”—[Official Report, 12 November 2025; Vol. 775, c. 151.]

A freedom of information request response dated 9 December confirms that no such foreclosure notices have been issued. I asked the hon. Member for Clacton to correct the record and apologise for inadvertently misleading the House, but I have received no response. Given the seriousness of the issue and the sensitivities around the implications in his question, will you please advise me on how I can take the matter forward? Members of the public should be able to trust what is said in this place.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)]

I thank the hon. Lady for giving notice of her point of order. I understand that she has notified the hon. Member for Clacton in advance. She will know that this is not a matter for the Chair, but her point has been well and truly put on the record.
