MPs will vote on Thursday whether to refer claims that Prime Minister Boris Johnson misled the House of Commons over ‘Partygate” for a formal investigation by Parliament’s Privileges Committee.
Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said on Tuesday he had decided to grant time for the debate and vote on the Prime Minister’s previous statements to the Commons on lockdown parties in Downing Street and Whitehall after receiving letters from a number of MPs including Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer.
