Nigel Farage has rowed back on his claim that he received official parliamentary advice against holding in-person surgeries for his constituents.
The Reform UK party leader said last month he had been advised by officials not to have physical meetings in his Clacton constituency. Parliamentary sources had disputed the claims, saying no such advice would have been given by the office of the speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, or the security team as it would interfere with MPs’ democratic duties.
