Boris Johnson claims his Downing Street colleagues thought rules were being followed.
Boris Johnson has submitted written evidence to the committee of MPs investigating whether he misled Parliament over statements he made about gatherings at Downing Street during lockdown.when he told the House of Commons that Covid rules and guidance were followed "at all times" at Downing Street, he believed that to be the case.
Its interim report earlier this month said there was evidence that "those who were advising Mr Johnson about what to say to the press and in the House were themselves struggling to contend that some gatherings were within the rules". And it included a series of WhatsApp messages between the then director of communications and a No 10 official on 25 January 2021.They appear to have been discussing the birthday gathering on 19 June 2020 for the former prime minister, for which he and the current prime minister were both fined by the Metropolitan Police.
