MPs question standards chief over claims PM misled him on flat redecoration

Lord Geidt asked what steps he will take after WhatsApp messages show Boris Johnson was in contact with a Tory donor

Boris Johnsons's adviser on ministerial interests has been contacted by a parliamentary committee over allegations that he was misled by the prime minister over the funding of the refurbishment of his Downing Street flat.

In a letter to Lord Geidt, the crossbench peer who took up the adviser role in April after his predecessor resigned, MPs ask what steps are open to him if he believes he was misled during his inquiry into the handling of the work at the flat.
