Prime Minister Boris Johnson will face Commons investigation into whether he misled Parliament

Boris Johnson will face an investigation into whether he misled Parliament over Downing Street parties during lockdown. MPs voted to refer him to the Privileges Committee this afternoon.

The committee will look into his conduct and could find him in contempt of Parliament. Earlier, the Conservative withdrew a bid to delay the decision.

A motion from Labour was eventually passed without a formal vote after Tory whips decided not to oppose it formally. The 'on the nod' vote means there is no list of how each MP voted.
