(Picture: PA Wire)Downing Street on Monday admitted that Boris Johnson had been aware of media reports and allegations of misconduct involving former minister Chris Pincher – but still pressed ahead with his appointment as Deputy Chief Whip in February.
Ministers and No10 said previously that the Prime Minister had not been aware of any specific allegations regarding Mr Pincher, who had the Tory party whip removed on Friday, a day after he resigned his post amid claims he groped two men during a party at a private members’ club.
