The Prime Minister has refused to say if he will replace his ethics adviser after Lord Geidt resigned from the role earlier in the week.
Having initially published only a brief statement signalling he was quitting, Lord Geidt has since expanded on the reasons behind his decision.
In a letter released on Friday night, the former adviser on ministerial interests said he could not be "party to advising on potential law breaking".
Earlier in the week Boris Johnson's spokesperson the PM was reviewing the position and could abolish it. But asked if that was the case by broadcasters on Saturday, Mr Johnson refused to say if he was considering abolish the role.
Asked twice to directly answer the question, the PM said: "There you're ahead of me."
