The former PM told parliament all rules were followed during events held at Downing Street while COVID lockdown rules were in place. Once the committee has finished its investigation, it will decide whether Mr Johnson deliberately misled parliament and any sanction he ought to face.
Those involved in the parties, or with direct knowledge of them, were told they had until 29 July to submit evidence and oral evidence sessions were expected to take place in the autumn.
The Privileges Committee is made up of four Conservative MPs, two Labour and one SNP, with the chair being Labour MP Harriet Harman. The committee said witnesses will be able to remain anonymous but the chair and committee staff will need to know who they are.
