MPs are debating the damning report that found Boris Johnson lied to Parliament over partygate.
The former Prime Minister is set to be stripped of the Parliamentary pass issued to former MPs after the Privileges Committee ruled he deliberately misled the House of Commons over lockdown rule breaking in Downing Street during the pandemic.
Rishi Sunak and a number of Tory cabinet ministers are expected to avoid the discussion, which is expected to run for at least four hours.
The cross-party committee’s report concluded that Mr Johnson - who labelled the probe a “kangaroo court” - should have faced a 90-day suspension for misleading the House had he not already resign.
It is not yet clear whether Mr Johnson’s supporters will force a vote on its conclusions. But it is likely the recommendations will be “nodded” through by MPs after Mr Johnson urged his allies not to oppose it, arguing the sanctions have no practical effect.
