Reform UK's Richard Tice faces parallel parliamentary and criminal investigations

The UK Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards is investigating Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice over a possible failure to declare an interest, announced 3 August. Separately, Channel 4 News reports police have begun a criminal investigation into Tice over allegations he failed to pay at least £98,000. The two probes operate under distinct legal mandates with different evidentiary thresholds and potential consequences.
