\n\n

Boris Johnson is appearing in a much-anticipated hearing regarding the \u201cPartygate\u201d scandal.<\/p>\n

The hearing will see the House of Commons Privileges committee session on the legality of activities in 10 Downing Street under Covid regulations covering Covid rule-breaking parties, with evidence from former prime minister Boris Johnson.<\/p>\n

The committee is being chaired by Labour MP Harriet Harman and will see Johnson questioned on whether he intentionally misled Parliament over the conduct of Downing Street staff during Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.<\/p>\n

The committee has emphasised its independence and purpose to decide whether Johnson intentionally misled the House of Commons and whether he corrected the record in the house in good time.<\/p>\n

Johnson has accepted that he misled the House of Commons but denies he did so deliberately, arguing that he relied on the advice of senior staff.<\/p>\n

The former PM \u00a0has sworn to \u201ctell the truth and nothing but the truth\u201d on a bible and claimed that he, \u201chand on heart, did not lie to the house\u201d.<\/p>\n
