Downing Street concedes prime minister knew of some allegations when Pincher was appointed deputy chief whip
Boris Johnson was aware of some allegations relating to Chris Pincher when the MP for Tamworth was appointed deputy chief whip in February, Downing Street has admitted.
No 10 conceded that Johnson was aware of allegations that were “either resolved or did not proceed to a formal complaint” in relation to Pincher, who resigned last week over reports that he drunkenly groped two men in a London club.
