Concerns that Privilege Committee's final report could unduly affect voting if released before polls
said Wednesday’s oral evidence hearing was not the end of their investigation, and the MPs have not ruled out calling other witnesses to testify in person.
The ex-prime minister, who admitted to misleading the House inadvertently, has asked for the full evidence to be made public, which requires verification and agreement from witnesses, who need to be contacted. In its report, the committee has the power to recommend sanctions, though these must be voted on by the whole House of Commons without debate.These could include requiring an oral or written apology, suspension from the House for a limited time, or withholding salary without suspension.
