Lord Geidt implies to Commons committee he did not have power to investigate Boris Johnson’s potential breach of lockdown rules
Boris Johnson’s ethics adviser has said it was “reasonable” to suggest the prime minister may have breached the ministerial code when he was fined during the Partygate scandal.
Giving evidence to MPs, Christopher Geidt suggested he did not have the power to investigate Johnson’s potential breach linked to lockdown parties and that he did not request an investigation, but instead required a statement from the prime minister – who cleared himself of any breach.
