A date has been set for Boris Johnson’s Partygate showdown with the Privileges Committee. The committee has also released a new 24-page memo of evidence. It said that breaches of coronavirus guidance would have been “obvious” to Mr Johnson at several events he attended.<\/p>\n
Mr Johnson will give evidence to the Privileges Committee in the week beginning March 20.<\/p>\n
It highlighted several events where the then Prime Minister was present without social distancing and published pictures.<\/p>\n
But in a statement, Mr Johnson hit out at partygate investigator Sue Gray, saying it is “surreal” and “particularly concerning” that she will be working for Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer.<\/p>\n
