Business of the House

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Richard Tice

Thursday 19th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I think I now have to go to Richard Tice!

[Richard Tice]

Thank you, Mr Speaker—as the deputy leader of Reform UK.

Along with, I think, millions of other British citizens, I was shocked to read the exposé in The Times that Britain has become the “western capital” for the use of sharia courts. May we have a debate on this issue in the new year? In my view, the use of sharia courts to make unofficial rulings about marriages, divorces and family life has no place in the United Kingdom.

Budget: Implications for Farming Communities

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Richard Tice

Monday 4th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Richard Tice (Boston and Skegness) (Reform)]

Are the Minister, the Secretary of State and the Chancellor aware that so serious are the consequences of this policy that the heads of farming families in their 80s and 90s are seriously considering committing suicide before it comes into place? [Hon. Members: “Shame!”] Shame on you! [Interruption.]

[Mr Speaker]

Order. I do not need any after-comments.
