Minister sidesteps question on UK PM Johnson's apartment refurbishment financing

British Transport Secretary Grant Shapps on Wednesday sidestepped a question about the financing of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's apartment in Downing Street after calls for an inquiry into the funding.

Asked if Johnson had received a loan from the Conservative Party for the refurbishment, Shapps said Johnson had paid for the refurbishment.

"The prime minister has already paid for it," Shapps told Sky News.
