THE SNP have called for Boris Johnson’s police questionnaire to published to ensure “full transparency” over the Downing Street lockdown parties scandal.

No 10 confirmed on Friday the Prime Minister has complied with a Metropolitan Police request for his answers to be submitted within a week of receiving the form.

Downing Street has previously said his responses will not be made public.

But SNP MP Kirsten Oswald said: “Now that Boris Johnson has handed in his police questionnaire, we must get confirmation that the questionnaire will be published either during or immediately after the police investigation concludes.

“The public, who were following the lockdown rules set by Boris Johnson and his government, and sacrificing time with loved ones or missing weddings and funerals, have a right to full transparency over this whole scandal.

“Indeed, it is a disgrace that the Prime Minister of the UK is even being investigated by the police and even more extraordinary that he is still clinging on to power. Boris Johnson should have resigned long ago but his lack of dignity has prevented this from happening.

“If he doesn’t leave office willingly, then it is incumbent on Tory MP’s to show him the door.

“Scotland deserves better than this Prime Minister and Westminster government we didn’t vote for.”

Officers involved with Operation Hillman, which is examining whether Covid restrictions were broken in Downing Street and across Whitehall, have sent formal questionnaires to approximately 50 people as they look into the details of alleged Covid rule-breaking.

Police are investigating 12 of out of 16 events which are being reviewed by Cabinet Office official Sue Gray, including as many as six that the Prime Minister is reported to have attended.

Gray published an interim report last month which found “failures of leadership and judgement” and an excessive drinking culture at work.
