The Commons Speaker says MPs will vote on Thursday on whether the PM should be investigated for knowingly misleading Parliament over breaching Covid laws.

Sir Lindsay Hoyle says he will allow MPs time to debate a motion from Labour on whether to refer Boris Johnson to Parliament's Privileges Committee.

Johnson is expected shortly to make his first statement to MPs since being fined for breaking his own lockdown laws last week.

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