Following Mr Farage’s claim that he had been advised not to hold in-person surgeries by the Speaker’s Office, the Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said he would advise MPs to take advice from parliament’s security team and “do so safely” if they asked him for advice on holding surgeries.

    he had been advised not to hold in-person surgeries by the Speaker’s Office

    Apparently this is false. From PA Media:

    “The Speaker’s Office and Parliament’s security team have no recollection of telling Nigel Farage that he should not hold in-person surgeries in his constituency, the PA news agency understands.”
