BORIS Johnson has refused to confirm whether he will resign if the police find he broke his own Covid-19 laws.

The Prime Minister handed a legal questionnaire to police on Friday regarding claims that lockdown-busting parties were held in Downing Street.

The content of his questionnaire response has not been made public.

Speaking in an interview with BBC One’s Sunday Morning Programme, Johnson was also asked if he could understand many people’s doubts about his explanations of gatherings held in No 10.

“There is simply not a bean I can tell you about that,” he responded.

Speaking of the police investigation and criticism from his own party members, the Tory leader said: “I am fortunate to live in a democracy. I am fortunate to be the PM of a free independent democratic country where people can take that sort of decision, and where I do face that sort of pressure, that’s a wonderful thing.”

Metropolitan Police are investigating 12 events allegedly attended by Government figures during lockdowns, including as many as six that the Prime Minister is reported to have attended.

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

It comes as leaked documents reveal Tory donors – including a former banker who is the wife of Vladimir Putin’s former deputy finance minister – have been given exclusive access to the upper echelons of the UK Government.

The Sunday Times reports that in return for £250,000 donations to the party, wealthy backers have been admitted to a secret “advisory board” – giving them access to Johnson, as well as senior ministers and advisers within No 10.
