Probe into whether Boris Johnson misled parliament over partygate begins with call for evidence

[onthedarkside]

 

 

The privileges committee will determine whether Mr Johnson is in contempt of parliament for misleading MPs with his repeated denials of lockdown-busting parties in Downing Street

 

The investigation into whether Boris Johnson deliberately misled parliament over the partygate scandal has begun with a call for evidence - and individuals will be allowed to contribute to the inquiry anonymously.

 

Labour veteran Harriet Harman, currently the longest-serving female MP, has been selected to chair the probe which will be conducted by the House of Commons privileges committee.

 

Ms Harman was unanimously elected to take up the role.

 

A statement from the committee said it is "calling for evidence submissions and accounts from those with knowledge of events related to the inquiry".
