Partygate: Boris Johnson apologises for ‘inadvertently misleading’ House

Boris Johnson has apologised for “inadvertently misleading” the House of Commons over Partygate.

“I apologise for inadvertently misleading this House, but to say that I did it recklessly or deliberately is completely untrue, as the evidence shows,” Mr Johnson told the Privileges Committee on Wednesday 22 March.
