Boris Johnson has been given Commons Partygate inquiry findings, say sources
THE GUARDIAN SAYS Boris Johnson has been given the findings of an investigation into whether he misled parliament over Partygate, the Guardian has been told.
With the nearly year-long inquiry drawing to a close, sources said a “warning letter” had been submitted to the former prime minister containing criticisms for him to respond to.
At stake is the future of Johnson’s political career – a suspension of 10 days or more could lead to a byelection being triggered in his Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency.
Under the “Maxwellisation process”, Johnson was handed a dossier laying out the committee’s findings. It is said to contain the facts and evidence they are based on and any proposed sanctions.
