Peers say Foreign Office minister’s statement to house contradicts email saying PM authorised flight
Peers have called for Zac Goldsmith to explain why his office sent an email last August which said Boris Johnson had authorised a controversial airlift of animals from Kabul – when he had previously told the House of Lords this was not the case.
Ray Collins, a Labour peer, asked Lord Goldsmith, who was not present, “to return as a matter of urgency to make a statement to the house” to clear up the apparent discrepancy.
