Olis Johnson He is under increasing pressure in the dirty line that is sweeping his government due to the opposition party demanding an investigation into his free vacation. Spanish A villa owned by Lord Goldsmith’s family, Minister of the Environment.
Both the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats urge the parliamentary standards commissioner Kathryn Stone to Prime Minister The luxury accommodation on the Costa del Sol was correctly declared.
Their appeal was made after Mr. Johnson tried to reform the disciplinary system for members of Congress but failed. Ms. Stone was destined to save the former Conservative Party minister. Owen Patterson He was suspended after the commissioner discovered that he violated the lobbying rules.
Deputy Labour Party Leader Angela Reina It also called on the commissioner to investigate the financing of the luxurious renovation of the Downing Street apartment by Mr. Johnson. It is expected that the results of the Election Commission’s investigation may not be too far away.
Mr. Johnson announced last month’s holiday in the Minister’s Register of Interests on the grounds that “long-term personal friendship with the Goldsmith family” allowed him to stay in the villa for free during his travels with his wife Kelly and son Wilfred .
However, the value of the holiday was not disclosed, and the opposition parties questioned whether he should also publish the details of the register of interests of members of Congress.
Downing Street insists that the Prime Minister does not need to do this and has correctly followed all transparency rules.
Ms. Rainer wrote two letters to the Commissioner requesting her to initiate an investigation, and added in a statement: “Boris Johnson tried to get Conservative Party MPs to try allegations of corruption and violation of the rules. This is a blatant deterrent to the Commissioner. Attempt to investigate. His recent violations.
“For Boris Johnson, this cannot be a rule, but for the rest of us it is another rule. Our corrupt and dirty prime minister must be held accountable just like everyone else violates the rules.”
We cannot have such a situation, Boris Johnson acted like it is a rule for him and another rule for others
Wendy Chamberlain, the chief whip of the Liberal Democratic Party, accused the Conservative Party of being a “dirty party”, saying that they could not be trusted to “mark their homework.”
She added: “The Independent Standards Commissioner should urgently investigate whether Boris Johnson violated the code of conduct by failing to properly declare the holiday.”
Shortly after voters defeated the Liberal Democratic Party in 2019, the British Prime Minister abandoned Lord Goldsmith as a member of Richmond Park and appointed him as his lifelong counterpart.
This paved the way for Mr. Johnson to hand Lord Goldsmith to the government, first in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then made him the Minister of the Environment.
A Downing Street spokesperson said: “The Prime Minister has met the transparency requirements related to this. He announced this arrangement as a minister because it was a hospitality provided by another minister.
“The Prime Minister has written to the Registrar of the House of Commons, stating that this holiday was announced in accordance with the Ministerial Code because the arrangement was made with another minister.”
He said that Lord Geidt, Mr. Johnson’s ministerial standards adviser, reviewed the statement during the review process.
After the Conservative donors initially invoiced the project, Ms. Reiner again asked Ms. Stone to investigate the renovation of Prime Minister Apartment No. 11.
Lord Gate, the minister’s adviser to the interests of the minister, discovered that Mr. Johnson did not know that Lord Brownlow was stumped, but believed that it was “unwise” for the Prime Minister to allow the renovation project to continue without “more stringent consideration of how to raise funds”.
The Election Commission launched an investigation into the renovation project in April, stating that there were “reasonable grounds” to suspect that an illegal act might have occurred.
At the time, Mr. Johnson described the line as “nonsense.”
Now, according to reports, the regulator has handed over a draft of its findings to the Conservative Party.
