House of Commons endorses report that found former prime minister lied to lawmakers about COVID-19 lockdown-flouting parties in his office, stripping him of his lifetime access to Parliament
Britain’s House of Commons on Monday resoundingly endorsed a report that found Boris Johnson lied to lawmakers about lockdown-flouting parties in his office, a humiliating censure that strips the former prime minister of his lifetime access to Parliament.
“This matters because the integrity of our institutions matter. The respect and trust afforded to them matters,” she said. “This has real-world consequences for the accountability of members of Parliament to each other and the members of the public they represent.” Johnson, who turned 59 on Monday, was not there either. He stepped down as prime minister in September 2022, but remained a lawmaker until June 9, when he quit after receiving notice of the Privileges Committee’s findings.
Johnson initially denied that any parties took place at the prime minister’s office, and then repeatedly assured lawmakers that pandemic rules and guidance were followed at all times. The committee concluded that those assurances were misleading and that Johnson failed to correct the record when asked to do so.
