Points of Order

Richard Tice Excerpts

Wednesday 24th June 2026 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

I thank the hon. Lady for her point of order. Hon. Members are responsible for what they say in the Chamber, and we do not write the scripts for colleagues. “Erskine May” states:

“Good temper and moderation are the characteristics of parliamentary language.”

I remind all Members that that is the way they should be conducting themselves inside the Chamber.

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

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I seek your advice on how to ensure that named day written parliamentary questions are answered by the Department on time. My written questions 10935 to 10940 to the Foreign Office about a company called Siren Associates Ltd had not been answered by 22 June. They are of great personal and national importance, and we want to know when they will be answered.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I thank the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order. It is important that Members who are sent here by their constituents receive timely answers to their questions. This is not a matter for the Chair, but I am sure that those on the Treasury Bench will have noted the hon. Member’s remarks and contacted the right Department so that he gets a response as soon as he can.
