With 354 votes in favour, MPs endorsed sanctions against Boris Johnson recommended by the committee
DUP MPs did not vote on a damning report that found Boris Johnson lied to Parliament over Covid lockdown parties at Downing Street.
With 354 votes in favour, MPs endorsed sanctions against Mr Johnson recommended by the committee, including banning him from having a pass to access Parliament, which is usually available to former MPs. Alliance's Mr Farry, MP for North Down, said Mr Johnson had been "finally held accountable" and he should never have been "near to power".
The Foyle MP said: "The brass-necked contempt with which he has treated the public, particularly people who made enormous, life-changing sacrifices during the Covid pandemic, is shocking and it has all been in his narrow self-interest. Excluding Commons Speakers, no vote was recorded for 281 MPs because they either abstained or did not turn up to vote.The Prime Minister's official spokesman said he had afternoon meetings on Monday, including hosting his Swedish counterpart, Ulf Kristersson, before attending a dinner in the evening.
