UK Labour Party sets out bid to trigger contempt investigation into PM Johnson

Britain's opposition Labour Party on Wednesday published details of its attempt to instigate a parliamentary investigation into whether Prime Minister Boris Johnson misled parliament in his initial response to reports of COVID breaches in his office.

Lawmakers will on Thursday vote on a motion which, if passed, would refer Johnson to parliament's Committee of Privileges to consider whether his conduct amounted to a contempt of the House of Commons.
