The ex-PM will insist he did not recklessly or intentionally mislead MPs at a committee hearing tomorrow.
Boris Johnson's defence against claims he misled Parliament about Covid rule-breaking parties has been published ahead of a grilling by MPs.
He adds: "I did not intentionally or recklessly mislead the House on 1 December 2021, 8 December 2021, or on any other date. I would never have dreamed of doing so." If Mr Johnson is found to have misled Parliament, the committee will consider whether this was reckless or intentional and recommend how he should be punished.
He adds that as prime minister, managing the UK's response to the Covid pandemic, it was "self-evidently reasonable for me to rely on assurances that I received from my advisers".
