BREAKING: Boris Johnson has accused Rishi Sunak of 'talking rubbish' after the PM claimed Boris had asked him to overrule the vetting committee for appointments to the House of Lords.
But he added that a resignation honours list was a ‘long-standing convention’.
The spokesman also declined to give a ‘detailed timeline’ of when the Prime Minister received the resignation honours list from Holac, but said that ‘convention’ was followed.The row over the Lords appointments comes as the Privileges Committee is set to meet to conclude its inquiry into whether the former prime minister misled Parliament over No 10 lockdown parties.
There has been speculation that the seven-person committee, which is chaired by veteran Labour MP Harriet Harman but has a Conservative majority, could release its findings in a matter of days.
