UK Privileges Committee Finds Boris Johnson Committed Five Contempts of Parliament

The Committee concluded that Johnson committed five contempts of Parliament, including lying to the committee and undermining the parliamentary process.

If Johnson had not resigned, the committee would have recommended a three-month suspension from the House of Commons.

The Committee found that Johnson's behavior was unprecedented for a former Prime Minister and that he could not have believed that the rules were being followed.

The Committee also found that Johnson attacked the committee, which is a further contempt of Parliament.

The committee recommended that Boris Johnson, who is no longer a member of parliament, should not be granted a pass as a former member.

Two members of the committee wanted Johnson to be expelled from parliament, but the final decision was made unanimously by all seven members.
