MPs demand WhatsApps and other Partygate evidence from No 10

Privileges committee to visit Downing Street in investigation into whether Boris Johnson misled parliament

MPs on the Commons privileges committee will carry out a site visit in Downing Street, and are demanding No 10 hand over evidence, including WhatsApps, photos and diary entries, as they investigate whether Boris Johnson misled parliament over Partygate.

The committee, chaired by Harriet Harman, the longstanding Labour MP, but with a majority of Conservative members, has written to Johnson with a list of evidence they would like to examine.
