Exclusive: Labour asks parliamentary body to investigate any potential breach of MPs’ code of conduct
Boris Johnson’s flat refurbishments could be investigated by parliament’s standards commissioner, a body with powers that can lead to suspensions of MPs or byelections if serious breaches have occurred, the Guardian understands.
The commissioner, Kathryn Stone, has received a complaint from Labour asking her to investigate any potential breach of the MPs’ code of conduct. Stone also keeps the House of Commons’ register of financial interests.
