Report found former PM lied to MPs about Downing Street parties during lockdown
Mr Sunak claimed his reticence about giving his verdict on the report’s conclusions was because “I wouldn’t want to influence anyone in advance of that vote”.
“This committee was established under the former prime minister. It commanded the confidence of the House at the time and I’m sure that they have done their work thoroughly and I respect them for that,” Mr Sunak told ITV’s Good Morning Britain. “It will be up to each and every individual MP to make a decision of what they want to do when the time comes.”
Tory MPs will be given a free vote, but allies of Mr Johnson warned they could face battles with their local parties to remain as candidates at the next election if they back the motion.
