Boris Johnson may have to resign if he is found to have lied to Parliament over the “partygate” scandal, a minister has suggested.
Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab refused to be drawn into a “hypothetical” situation of the Prime Minister finding himself in such a position. However, he said that under the ministerial code, if a minister lies to the Commons and refuses to correct the untruth, then it would “normally be a resigning matter”.
