Business of the House

Ben Obese-Jecty Excerpts

Thursday 15th May 2025 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

Questions and answers will have to be much shorter so we can get more colleagues in.

[Ben Obese-Jecty (Huntingdon) (Con)]

I am sure that the Leader of the House, like me, loves a farm shop. Johnsons of Old Hurst in my constituency was last week declared the best farm shop and delicatessen in Cambridgeshire at the Muddy Stilettos awards for independent businesses. The shop offers high-quality, home-grown British produce, and I know from personal experience how busy it is and how difficult it is to get a table in the tearoom there. Will the Leader of the House join me in congratulating Andy and Tracey, and wishing them well for the best of the best national finals next month, where they will be in contention to become the best farm shop and delicatessen in the country—and surely the only one with a lion enclosure?

I join the hon. Gentleman in congratulating Andy and Tracey on their award-winning farm shop, which sounds fantastic. Maybe next time the hon. Member can offer me an invitation and I might join him.
