Boris Johnson set to apologise to MPs over lockdown fine
Mr Johnson has vowed to "set the record straight" when he speaks to MPs at about 16.30 BST.
He also accused the PM of using the conflict in Ukraine as a "shield" to keep his job, adding that he finds such a tactic "pretty offensive".After the Commons reconvened on Tuesday after its Easter recess, Sir Lindsay said he had received applications from Labour and a number of MPs to have a vote on whether Mr Johnson was in contempt of Parliament.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey called the comments an "insult to bereaved families", adding: "The excuses of Conservative ministers are getting more pathetic by the day".Watch: Brandon Lewis compares the PM's partygate fine to politicians receiving a speeding ticket Under government rules, ministers are expected to resign for knowingly misleading MPs - and correct the record as soon as possible if they inadvertently tell Parliament something false.
Mr Johnson is known to have attended at least two further events of the 12 being investigated by police, meaning he could be fined again.
