Tory MPs told by chief whip to keep quiet on Partygate inquiry

The Independent  

The government’s chief whip has warned Tory MPs to keep quiet about the inquiry examining whether Boris Johnson misled parliament over Partygate. Johnson ally Nadine Dorries has been accused of waging a “terrorist campaign” to discredit the inquiry, after she urged Tory MPs on the cross-party committee to quit the “witch hunt”. In an email to all Tory MPs, chief whip Chris Heaton-Harris said he wanted to “remind” them that MPs had already voted to set up the inquiry – and would get to vote on any punishment recommended by the committee. “If people wish to criticise it please write to the committee – don’t just conduct a sort of terrorist campaign to try and discredit the committee,” he said when asked about the culture secretary’s attacks.
