British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been ordered to hand over a cache of documents to MPs investigating whether he lied to Parliament over the so-called partygate scandal.

Johnson, who is set to step down as prime minister in early September, still faces an inquiry by the Privileges Committee into whether he deliberately misled Parliament with his repeated assurances that CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus rules were followed in Number 10 Downing Street.
