19 July 2025: After I officially welcomed representatives of the R&A to Parliament Buildings as Speaker, I was invited as Speaker by the R&A to attend the Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club on Saturday 19 July and was invited as a guest of the R&A to attend the official Captain's Lunch that day.  The cost of the ticket and lunch/hospitality provided (estimated in the region of £500) was met by the R&A.
