Boris Johnson forgot he had been briefed about an investigation into concerns about Tory Chris Pincher's conduct at the Foreign Office, a minister has admitted.
Paymaster General Michael Ellis admitted the PM had been "made aware" of concerns about alleged inappropriate behaviour by Mr Pincher when he was a Foreign Office Minister in 2019.
Mr Ellis told MPs that officials had raised concerns with the permanent secretary about Mr Pincher in October 2019, who commissioned the Cabinet Office to "establish facts" about what took place.
