No 10 looks set to be forced to release the security advice relating to Boris Johnson’s decision to give a peerage to Evgeny Lebedev after Tory rebels threatened to support a Labour motion calling for it to be published.
Amid evidence the intelligence services had concerns about the peerage, Labour is using a humble address in the House of Commons to force the disclosure of the documents.
