Dumfries and Galloway MP Alister Jack has been slammed for not taking part in a vote on whether former Prime Minister Boris Johnson misled parliament.
On Monday night, MPs overwhelmingly voted to back a privileges committee report that Mr Johnson had lied when he claimed coronavirus rules had been followed at Downing Street at all times – despite evidence parties had taken place.
More than 200 MPs either didn’t attend or abstained – including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Scottish Secretary Mr Jack, who is due to stand down at the next election.
