Reform UK Deputy Leader Richard Tice has sparked criticism after suggesting that married British couples should be prioritised in the government's housing programme over single mothers. The MP for Boston and Skegness explained that children of married couples 'do really well at school' and should be encouraged.
'Families are a good thing. We need to encourage that,' Tice said during a radio interview when asked if married couples will be prioritised in housing programmes. 'In an ideal world, it is well known that married couples—children in married couples, for example, will do really well at school. And we would like to encourage that.'
