Boris Johnson has been accused of 'dodging questions' after he was asked if lying to Parliament should be a crime.
Newcastle North MP Catherine McKinnell said the PM was unable to be 'clear or straight' on breaches of lockdown laws relating to the series of parties said to have taken place in Downing Street during the pandemic.
Mr Johnson faced questions from MPs at Parliament’s Liaison Committee on Wednesday after the Met revealed it had begun referring a number of fines over alleged breaches of Covid laws at Whitehall. He has faced accusations of lying after saying 'the rules were followed at all times' in response to 'Partygate' claims.
