The former prime minister faces a lengthy grilling by the Commons Privileges Committee, which is examining at least four occasions when he may have deliberately misled MPs with his assurances that lockdown regulations were followed.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said he would not seek to influence MPs on the committee and indicated he would grant a free vote to the Conservative ranks on any sanction that may be proposed.
