The Privileges Committee is set to publish its partygate evidence this morning, just hours before Boris Johnson will face a grilling which could determine his future as an MP.
The committee will publish a "core bundle" of evidence at 9am which will be referred to throughout this afternoon’s session with the former premier which is due to get underway at 2pm and could last four hours.
All of the evidence compiled by the seven-member committee as part of its investigation into whether Mr Johnson knowingly misled the House of Commons over his partygate denials has already been shared with the former prime minister’s team.
If the committee rules that Mr Johnson did deliberately mislead the Commons then he could be suspended as an MP, potentially leading to a by-election in his west London constituency.
Ahead of today's hearing, Mr Johnson acknowledged some of the statements he made when the partygate story first broke at the end of 2021 had been wrong, but he insisted they had been made in "good faith" and had not been "intentionally or recklessly" misleading.
