The seven-person committee, chaired by Labour's Harriet Harman but with a Tory majority, has been considering whether Mr Johnson misled MPs about Covid breaches in Downing Street during the pandemic.
In key evidence, one of Mr Johnson's most senior officials, Martin Reynolds, said he advised the former prime minister against making the claim, questioning whether it was "realistic". "Impugning the committee" in his criticism of it, and being complicit in a "campaign of abuse" against its members So far, only a handful of Conservative MPs have openly criticised the report, including Johnson loyalist and former culture secretary, Nadine Dorries.
