Boris Johnson has sent an 11th hour letter to the committee investigating whether he misled Parliament over parties held during lockdown. The former PM is being investigated by Westminster's Privileges Committee over whether he told the truth about parties held at Downing Street during the coronavirus pandemic.
He had repeatedly claimed that "all guidance was followed" "at all times” when quizzed on the matter in the House of Commons. MPs had been expected to publish their findings on Wednesday – but the Mirror reports that Boris' latest intervention - sent at 11.57pm on Monday - will now delay proceedings until Thursday.
A committee spokesperson said: "A letter enclosing further representations from Johnson was received by the committee at 11.57pm [on Monday night]. The committee is dealing with these and will report promptly."
