His declaration shows that the House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle has kept nearly 300 gifts over the past four years.

The Speaker received a large number of gifts, such as ambassadors, MPs and sometimes companies, and chose to keep hundreds rather than donate them to the speaker's house-his residence and office-or parliament.

The list voluntarily announced by the Speaker since 2021 includes about 80 bottles of wine, such as wine, champagne, whiskey, rum and other spirits.

Other items retained by the speaker include 26 ties and cufflinks, skin care suits, books, drinks, gifts for pets, carpets, pictures and decorative decorations sent to him by the Korean diplomat.

Last Christmas, he received basketball from Bahrain and Qatar, plus a basketball from Anguilla containing champagne and two bottles of wine and food. Conservative MP and shadow foreign minister Priti Patel sent him Christmas pudding for at least three consecutive years.

In some cases, the speaker passes or shares free gifts with his office. Last November, when the North Macedonian ambassador gave him food and drinks, he put a bottle of Smidgin gin and a bottle of wine and sent four herbal teas and three bottles of Ajvar (a red chili sauce) to his office.

The register caught a glimpse of some free gifts offered to politicians who only demanded that gifts worth more than £300 were declared, while the minister had to declare those gifts worth more than £150.

Tom Brake, a director of the Democratic Campaign and former deputy leader of the House of Commons, said: “The spokesperson’s voluntary announcement of the gifts he received revealed the potential scale of the freebies, but was announced by members of Congress.

“The very generous £300 MP declared the threshold needed to be consistent with the rules that usually apply to the public and private sectors, where only nominal gifts are acceptable.”

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has previously announced thousands of pounds of free clothing and a pair of glasses donated to him by Labor donor Lord Alli. After a public rush, he and other senior cabinet ministers said they would not accept free gifts in the government.

A spokesperson for the Speaker’s Office said: “As a common practice around the world, speakers give and receive gifts when they receive VIPs, it is a sign of friendship and relationship building between the nation and parliament.

“Consulting with parliamentary officials,,,,, Decide whether the gift will be for the speaker's home history collection and whether it should be displayed. If the item does not meet these criteria, such as perishable goods, the speaker or his office personally retains it.

“As part of his welcome VIP and cement friendship, the speaker wore many gifted bonds and cufflinks – as well as decorative heritage items related to the country.”

Hoyle recently defended spending on overseeing travel since 19 foreign trips since 2019, at around £250,000.

The figure includes £180,000 on top-notch and business-grade flights, while his accommodation includes hotels and high-end restaurant dining in luxury resorts.

Since the revelation, Hoyle told Sunday Times last month that it is his responsibility to represent the house at home and abroad, and this is his first interview.

"People are seeing the Prime Minister heading to the G20 and G7, but, of course, that's the same way the Speaker holds international meetings as the State Secretary also holds."

"Now, we have two ways to do it. Leave an empty chair without the participation of the UK. What does this comment on the UK's position in the world - especially the current global events? But it's also about using my power and influence in this sense, because it's about telling the truth about the Chinese and Russia and Russia.

“For example, when I was at these meetings, it was about standing up and leading the rest of the room to tell Russia that it had no right to invade the sovereign territory of Ukraine and ((this) had no right to continue this war.”

Hoyle earns about £160,000 a year and uses grace and favored apartments in the home of a spokesperson in Westminster Palace.
