A minister has said it is 'not immediately obvious' an investigation is needed into allegations that Carrie Johnson held a lockdown party that was not part of the Sue Gray inquiry
Labour MP Chris Bryant, who is standing aside as chair of the privileges committee for the inquiry as he has been highly critical over partygate, said:"I'm sure the committee will want to follow the evidence wherever it may lead."
Chris Philp, the technology and digital economy minister, told Sky News' Kay Burley it was"not immediately obvious" an investigation is needed into the allegations as the Met Police and Sue Gray inquiry have been"unbelievably comprehensive". The aide claims the Gray investigation team failed to follow up on the offer and once the Met's investigation concluded two weeks ago, they offered the messages to the Gray team but nothing happened.
