Boris Johnson will make his first statement to Parliament since being fined for breaking his own lockdown laws.

The PM is expected to apologise but repeat his claim that he did not knowingly break the rules.

His comments are expected to follow a statement by the Home Secretary at 15:30 BST on the government's plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.

It's thought Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle will also announce at about 14:30 what measures opposition parties can take to try to hold the PM to account.

Johnson, his wife and Chancellor Rishi Sunak have paid fines for attending a birthday gathering for the PM in the Cabinet Room in June 2020

Opposition parties accuse him of misleading Parliament and have called on him to resign.

Johnson is known to have attended at least two further events of 12 being investigated by police, so could be fined again.
