Privileges committee seeking to pursue investigation despite legal complaints and reduced membership
MPs investigating Boris Johnson over Partygate are drawing up a rebuttal dossier to criticisms made by a legal expert about the process, as they push to avoid the inquiry investigation being “derailed”.
The privileges committee will issue a staunch defence of its work after being admonished by Lord Pannick, a crossbench peer and QC who claimed it was “proposing to adopt an unfair procedure”.
