Boris Johnson misled Parliament over Partygate, privileges committee to conclude
But in written evidence, Jack Doyle, Mr Johnson's then-director of communications, said he didn't think he advised Mr Johnson "to say they were followed completely, they are difficult things to say".
The Times reports that the committee is also due to say that criticism of its work should be considered contempt of Parliament.That comes after Mr Johnson and his supporters repeatedly criticised it. Its members were offered beefed-up security in response to messages in support of the former PM that flooded in.
He said: "Their purpose from the beginning has been to find me guilty, regardless of facts. This is the very definition of a kangaroo court."The committee met on Monday to conclude its work. A spokesman for the group said: "The Committee has followed the procedures and the mandate of the House at all times and will continue to do so.
