Boris Johnson has offered a "wholehearted apology" to the House of Commons after being fined over the Partygate scandal. Mr Johnson said he paid his Fixed Penalty Notice immediately.
Mr Johnson said: "Let me begin in all humility by saying that on April 12, I received a Fixed Penalty Notice relating to an event in Downing Street on June 19, 2020. I paid the fine immediately, and I offered the British people a full apology and I take this opportunity to repeat my wholehearted apology.
"As soon as I received the notice I acknowledged the hurt and the anger and I said that people had a right to expect better of their PM. And I repeat that again in the House now.
