British MPs back report that found Johnson lied about 'partygate'

London [UK], June 21: British lawmakers have voted overwhelmingly to back a damning report that found Boris Johnson lied to Parliament with his Partygate denials, as Rishi Sunak stayed away from proceedings.
Just seven MPs voted against the Privileges Committee's findings, in a humiliating defeat for the former prime minister less than a year after he left No 10 Downing Street - the official residence of the British prime minister.
With 354 votes in favour, MPs endorsed sanctions against Johnson recommended by the committee, including banning him from having a pass to access Parliament, which is usually available to former MPs. The Tory-majority panel also concluded that Johnson should have faced a 90-day suspension for misleading the House when he told the Commons that Covid rules were obeyed in No 10 despite parties taking place.
