Former PM’s lawyers submitted fresh arguments to privileges committee, which it will report on before publishing findings
Boris Johnson has made an 11th-hour intervention that looks set to delay the publication of a report expected to find he misled parliament over Partygate until Thursday at the earliest.
Having quit as an MP in fury on Friday after receiving a private copy of the findings, lawyers for the former prime minister sent a letter at 11.57pm on Monday night that is being considered by the privileges committee.
