UK Parliament to Vote on Johnson ‘Partygate’ Investigation
London, UK | April 21, 2022

British lawmakers are to hold a debate and vote on April 21 on whether Prime Minister Boris Johnson should be investigated for allegedly misleading Parliament over the "partygate" scandal.

Last week, Johnson was fined 50 pounds ($66) for attending his own surprise birthday party in 10 Downing St. during lockdown, making him the first British prime minister ever found to have broken the law while in office.

Johnson on Tuesday offered what he said was a ”wholehearted” apology for attending the illegal party in June 2020 - but insisted he didn't knowingly break rules or mislead Parliament, and brushed off calls to resign.

Police are still investigating several other parties in government buildings that Johnson is alleged to have attended.
