It was fantastic that several MPs raised Christmas celebrations at the last few days of Parliament. Indeed there is a list of significant comments that can be seen here. On the last day of the public Parliament this year on Tuesday 19th December several of them did so and one of them was Lindsay Hoyle who is the Speaker of the House of Commons and he stated here and also focused on the New Year celebration.

“Before I start questions, may I wish all Members and their families the best for Christmas and a peaceful new year? I thank all staff within the House of Commons—those in security, catering, Clerks, you name it—for all they do. It is appreciated. It has been another hard year, and I just hope we can have a peaceful world, peace in the middle east, and certainly peace in Europe.”
