Tice Apologises for Not Declaring Israel Trip During Parliamentary Debate
Reform UK's Richard Tice says he should have mentioned a trip to Israel, funded by Reform Friends of Israel, while speaking in a debate.
Richard Tice has apologised for failing to declare a trip to Israel during a parliamentary debate, according to a report by BBC Politics.
The visit was funded by Reform Friends of Israel and had been entered in Tice's register of interests, the BBC reported. However, he did not mention the trip while speaking in the debate itself.
Parliamentary rules generally require members to declare relevant interests, including funded trips, when speaking on related matters in the House. The register of interests is a separate public record where such visits are typically disclosed.
Tice has apologised for the omission, the BBC said, though further details of his statement were not included in the report.
The BBC did not specify the date of the debate or the trip, nor did it provide additional comment from Tice, Reform UK or Reform Friends of Israel.
