Boris Johnson has put his father Stanley forward for a knighthood as part of his resignation honours list, according to reports.
The Times newspaper reports that the former prime minister, who left office last September, has nominated Stanley Johnson for the honour. A spokesperson for Boris Johnson said: “We don’t comment on honours.”
Any honour for Stanley Johnson would raise questions for the former Conservative leader. The former prime minister faced accusations of cronyism in 2020, after he nominated his brother Jo Johnson for a peerage.
