But it required Tory MPs to actively support it in the voting lobbies. The PM of course, can't tell because he's in India. But this isn't something you can hide for long.

The government was proposing a vote on a motion that would delay the decision on whether or not to have a probe into whether the PM lied for weeks until the conclusion of the police work and Sue Gray report.

I think the words of the amendment are ones that I would support and I am sorry that the House won't be able to consider them." I think you will find most of my colleagues who are fair-minded, who believe in due process will vote for the amendment because it is the right thing to do.” Raising a point of order in the House of Commons, he said: "The Prime Minister's comments on Tuesday night to his backbenchers were briefed to journalists by his spokesperson. Mr Streeting said: "It is really clear from consistent surveys and polls now and what people are finding on the doorstep including Conservative local elections candidates who have been speaking up about the Prime Minister’s conduct that Boris Johnson is a part of the problem. that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is a liar".

But in a late U-turn shortly before the debate began, Commons Leader Mark Spencer said there would be a free vote for Tory MPs. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the Prime Minister had tried to “cover up his misdeeds” by taking advantage of the Commons convention not to call someone a liar. MPs will decide whether a Commons committee should look into allegations that Mr Johnson misled the House with his repeated denials about Downing Street parties during the coronavirus lockdown. Boris Johnson faces the prospect of a parliamentary investigation into whether he lied to MPs about Downing Street parties during the coronavirus lockdowns.
