British former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he did not mislead parliament about illegal parties at his Downing Street office and residence during COVID-19 lockdowns.

He is due to give evidence later this month to an inquiry into whether he intentionally misled parliament.

In an update of its work which will be used as a basis for its questioning of the former leader, a panel of lawmakers known formally as the Privileges Committee said it had collected evidence from multiple witnesses about the parties, but that Johnson had yet to provide them with a written submission.
