Afternoon summary

• Downing Street has said this afternoon that, if Boris Johnson is fined by the police over illegal parties at No 10, the public will be told. At a lobby briefing this morning the PM’s spokesman refused to give that assurance, prompting protests from the opposition. (See 4.27pm.)

• The Commons Speaker has rebuked Johnson for making a false insinuation that Keir Starmer refused to prosecute the serial sex offender Jimmy Savile, but stopped short of demanding an apology.

• Johnson is about to hold a press conference in Kyiv with Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the Ukrainian president. There will be live coverage here.
