EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Partygate: Prime Minister must back Committee's findings 

In response to the publication of Privileges Committee on the issues they wish to raise with former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats Daisy Cooper said:

“As Boris Johnson partied while the rest of the country suffered, the public deserve answers to these damaging questions. 



“It’s no surprise he’s doing his utmost to wriggle out of this inquiry given the questions being raised are this damning. 



“Rishi Sunak must immediately and publicly commit to backing the Committee if the former Prime Minister is found to be guilty."
