The pressure climbs a Cran at Downing Street. British members approved Thursday the opening of a survey that will have to determine whether Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been misleading Parliament on organized “evenings” despite the confinement measures in force in the face of the epidemic of COVID -19.

The case, known as “PartyGate” and spent a time in the background because of the war in Ukraine, was restarted last week when Mr. Johnson received a fine for lack of anti- COVID by participating in a surprise pot for its 56 years in June 2020, becoming the first British government leader in the penalty exercise for breaking the law.

The ministerial code provides a minister who knowingly deceived Parliament must resign.
