The Privileges Committee is expected to criticise allies of Boris Johnson when it publishes a follow up report to its partygate investigation this morning. 

The committee ruled earlier this month that Mr Johnson had deliberately misled MPs over his partygate denials, with the former prime minister quitting the Commons before the conclusions were published. 

Mr Johnson and his supporters characterised the committee as a “kangaroo court”. 

The committee said in its main report published on June 15 that “from the outset” there had been a “sustained attempt” to undermine its credibility and that MPs serving on it must be protected from “formal or informal attack”. 

“We will be making a special report separately to the House dealing with these matters,” it said. 

That special report is now expected to be published at 9am this morning. The Guardian reported that Nadine Dorries, the former culture secretary, and Jacob Rees-Mogg, the former business secretary, both face being named.
