Boris Johnson has apologised for breaching Covid rules in Downing Street during the height of lockdown, as Speaker Lindsay Hoyle confirmed there would be a vote on whether the Prime Minister had misled Parliament.
Sir Lindsay said he had approved an application from Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and other opposition MPs allowing them to table a vote on Thursday. It comes after the Mr Johnson, along with his wife Carrie and Chancellor Rishi Sunak, were last week issued with fixed-penalty notices (FPN) by police investigating claims of coronavirus lockdown breaches in No 10.
Mr Johnson was fined for a birthday bash held in Number 10 in June 2020 and paid the fine despite telling the Commons previously that all Covid guidance was followed at the heart of Government.
