Prime Minister Rishi Sunak - who was Mr Johnson's chancellor - has not said whether he will vote on the report.
Allies of Mr Johnson warned Tory MPs they could face battles with their local parties to remain as candidates at the next election if they back the motion. Sir Jake - an ally of Mr Johnson - said he was "almost certain that Parliament will vote in favour" of the report on Monday. The committee said officials had not advised Mr Johnson that social distancing guidelines were followed at all times, contrary to what he said in the House of Commons at the time.
