How every North East MP voted on the Boris Johnson privileges committee report

MPs voted by 354 votes to seven to endorse a report by the privileges committee which found Boris Johnson knowingly misled parliament over partygate.

The former Prime Minister has been stripped of special access to parliament after MPs backed the committee's report that he lied about parties in Downing Street during the Covid pandemic.

A total of 118 Conservatives voted for the report, while 225 abstained.

In the North East, Guy Opperman, who represents Hexham, was the only Conservative MP to back the report, with the other five Tory MPs abstaining.

The committee recommended Mr Johnson should have served a 90-day suspension from the Commons had he not resigned as an MP days before.
