Labour calls for Electoral Commission inquiry into PM’s flat refurbishment

Party says Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings must be summoned to give evidence on how works were paid for

Calling on the commission to launch a formal investigation, lawyers for the party said the matter was incontrovertibly in the public interest".
