It is unclear whether Rishi Sunak will join the Commons vote on a report condemning Boris Johnson.
Tim Loughton, MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, told the BBC he was likely to support the report, describing the committee as "legitimate" and their conclusions "damning".
Liz Truss told GB News she would not question the integrity of the committee, but added their decision seemed "very harsh". "I had to deliver a eulogy to the nine other people in the chapel and then go home, sit on my own, in her house for the rest of the afternoon," he told"I have never felt so lonely in my life. So I think people might draw their own conclusions about how I feel and I imagine a great many people up and down the country will share those feelings."
In key evidence, Martin Reynolds - one of Mr Johnson's most senior officials - said he had advised the PM against making the claim, questioning whether it was "realistic". The day before the report was published, Mr Johnson called for one of the committee members - Conservative Sir Bernard Jenkin - to resign over claims he had himself breached Covid restrictions.
