Boris Johnson: Tory MPs will get free vote on any Partygate sanctions
By Tony BonsignorePolitical reporter
Conservative MPs are to be given a free vote on any sanctions handed out to Boris Johnson if he is found to have misled Parliament over Partygate.
The former Prime Minister faces a crucial televised evidence session in front of The Commons Privileges Committee on Wednesday.
The Committee is yet to publish its Final Verdict - But said Mr Johnson may have misled Parliament multiple times.
Mr Johnson denies misleading MPs.
Wednesday's session, which could last up to five hours, will be a key chance for Mr Johnson to persuade the seven cross-party MPs who Make Up The Committee that he did not mislead MPs in December 2021 - including when he told The Commons that he had " been repeatedly assured since these allegations emerged that there was no party and that no Covid rules were broken".
In May Last Year , an inquiry by senior civil servant Sue Gray found widespread rule-breaking had taken place, and Mr Johnson was among 83 people fined by police for attending law-breaking events.
If he fails to convince The Committee and is found guilty, he could be suspended from The Commons , and even faces a recall petition, which would trigger a by-election, if that suspension is for More Than 10 days.
Crucially, though, MPs would have to approve any sanction on Mr Johnson.
Downing Street sources say it is a matter for The House of Commons and MPs will therefore be given a free vote - Meaning they will not be " whipped" to vote a certain way.
That means Tory MPs would not be asked to vote One Way or another, as they were over the proposed suspension of Owen Paterson in November 2021, when Mr Johnson was still Prime Minister .
The government tried to block Mr Paterson's suspension from The Commons But , after a backlash, was later forced to U-turn. He then resigned as an MP.
At The Time , Mr Johnson came in for criticism from many of his own MPs about being told to back Mr Paterson, amid Labour accusations of " sleaze". The First Partygate stories broke only a few weeks later.
The Paterson row was The Beginning of The End for Mr Johnson's time as Prime Minister , and Mr Johnson in his handling of the case.
A spokesman for Mr Johnson said: " The Privileges Committee will vindicate Boris Johnson 's position.
" The Evidence will show that Boris Johnson did not knowingly mislead parliament. "
The seven cross-party MPs on The Privileges Committee are investigating whether Mr Johnson misled Parliament over gatherings at Downing Street during Covid lockdowns.
In interim findings earlier this month, The Committee suggested Boris Johnson may have misled Parliament multiple times over, saying it had seen evidence that " strongly suggests" Covid rule breaches would have been " obvious" to Mr Johnson.
