Robert Jenrick adds that government won’t restrict what former PM can say to Covid-19 inquiry
A minister has said the government won’t restrict what Boris Johnson can say to the Covid-19 inquiry, but issued an effective warning that the former prime minister should ensure that he was using public funding for legal advice “appropriately”.
Robert Jenrick’s comments on Sunday come after it was reported that Cabinet Office lawyers had told Johnson he could lose the funding if he tries to “frustrate or undermine” the government’s position on the inquiry.
