A dossier of evidence Boris Johnson hopes will protect his political future has been released ahead of a grilling over whether he lied to Parliament about Partygate.
The 52-page document, passed to the Privileges Committee ahead of four hours of questioning on Wednesday, insists he did not "recklessly" or "intentionally" mislead MPs with his claims that Covid rules were not broken on Downing Street.
In the dossier - produced by a tax-payer funded legal team said to be costing over £200,000 - the former PM says he accepts he misled the House of Commons when he said lockdown rules had been followed in No 10 but insisted the statements were made "in good faith".
