The majority of Nottinghamshire's MPs did not vote on whether to accept a report which said Boris Johnson deliberately misled the House of Commons over lockdown parties. The crucial vote was held on Monday (June 19) after the findings of the committee investigating the former Prime Minister were published.
MPs decided to accept the report overall, which means Mr Johnson will lose his right to the parliamentary pass which is usually afforded to former members. The committee also recommended Mr Johnson should be suspended from the House of Commons for 90 days after finding that he committed several offences when saying rules had been followed at all times in Downing Street.
That 90-day suspension could have triggered a by-election in Mr Johnson's constituency, but this recommendation was rendered irrelevant after Mr Johnson decided to resign earlier this month. A by-election will therefore be held in his constituency anyway, with the former Prime Minister releasing a resignation statement which said the committee investigating him was a "kangaroo court."
