Boris Johnson briefed in person about 2019 complaint of alleged groping by ex-deputy chief whip, says Simon McDonald.

She said: “It is now clear that the prime minister knew about the seriousness of these complaints but decided to promote this man to a senior position in government anyway. “There was a ‘formal complaint’. Allegations were ‘resolved’ only in the sense that the investigation was completed; Mr Pincher was not exonerated. He said: “Simon and myself both spoke to Chris Pincher in person to make it clear that the inappropriate behaviour should never be repeated.” He added: “I am aware that is unusual to write to you and simultaneously publicise the letter. It is not my understanding that he was directly briefed.” An investigation upheld the complaint and Pincher apologised, he added.

He claimed the PM "wanted to give Mr Pincher the chief whip job but was advised to give him deputy to keep a low profile because they knew about his behaviour."

PM forgot he had been told about investigation that upheld complaint about Pincher's behaviour, minister says.

“At the time, last week, that was the prime minister’s view,” he said. Describing the 2019 investigation, Ellis said: “The exercise established that while the minister meant no harm, what had occurred caused a high level of discomfort. It is not my understanding that he was directly briefed.” “This information does take time to establish.” He said Johnson was briefed in late 2019 about the complaint about Pincher’s behaviour at the Foreign Office. “Last week, when fresh allegations arose, the prime minister did not immediately recall the conversation in late 2019 about this incident. Ellis said: “The prime minister was made aware of this issue in late 2019.

He added that he was "not aware" of Mr Johnson having been "briefed directly” about a complaint made against Mr Pincher when the latter was a foreign office minister in 2019.

Asked by broadcasters if he had lied to Number 10 aides about his knowledge of allegations against Mr Pincher, the PM disputed this statement.

"The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. "About two and a half years ago I got this complaint, it was something that was only raised with me very cursorily but I wish that we had, I in particular, had acted on it and that he had not continued in government because he then went on, I'm afraid, to behave, as far as we can see, according to the allegations that we have, very, very badly.
