Johnson added there is no “smoking gun” to indicate he deliberately misled MPs. “There is no record to indicate that I have received any notice or warning that an event has breached or may have breached any rules or guidelines,” the British newspaper The Guardian quoted.
Party gate
The Conservative politician’s explanation was released by a British parliamentary committee investigating crown parties and other breaches of crown measures by Johnson and his employees during the lockdown. The question is whether Johnson, as prime minister in December 2021, deliberately misled MPs about illegal parties held during the Covid-19 lockdown. Johnson is expected to give an oral explanation Wednesday.
Accept
The former leader says he “accepts” that the House of Commons has been misled by his claims that Covid-19 rules have been fully respected in his office and residence at 10 Downing Street. ‘But when the statements were made they were taken on faith made and based on what I honestly knew and believed at the time.’
