Dominic Raab, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice, gave interviews this morning and claimed that Johnson was telling the truth in parliament “as much as he could”. He told Sky News: I do not know the full details of the sentences, but the Prime Minister was telling the House of Commons and the public what he knew to the best of his ability.

Dominic Raab: “Individuals finally take responsibility” – and the Prime Minister told the truth “as far as possible” 👇 # KayBurley BH pic.twitter.com/jn5tF6lU1a March 30, 2022 And on Times Radio Raab he adopted a similar line. Asked if Johnson had misled parliament, he replied: No, I do not think there was any intention of misleading. The Prime Minister informed the Parliament in good faith about what he knows. I will post more of Raab interviews soon. Here’s the agenda for the day. 9.30 am: Sir Patrick Vallance, Chief Government Scientific Advisor, delivers evidence to the Commons Scientific Committee. 10.30 am: Lord Harrington, the new Minister for Refugees, briefs the Communities’ Leveling Committee on the housing plan for Ukrainians. Deposits are also given by the local government, from 10 a.m. 12pm: Boris Johnson faces Kir Starmer in PMQ. After 12.45: MEPs discuss the Lords’ amendments to the health and social care bill. 13:15: Dame Kate Bingham, former head of the government’s Vaccine Working Group, and Professor Sir Andrew Pollard, head of the Oxford Vaccine Group, speak at the Royal Society’s conference on Covid. At 4.45pm, Professor Sir Chris Whitty, the government’s chief medical adviser, speaks. 14:00: Nicholas Sterzon, Scotland ‘s first minister, makes a statement to the Scottish Parliament about Covid. 3 p.m.: Johnson receives questions from the Communities Liaison Committee. I try to watch the comments below the line (BTL) but it is impossible to read them all. If you have a direct question, include “Andrew” in it somewhere and I’m more likely to find it. I’m trying to answer questions and if it is of general interest, I will post the question and answer over the line (ATL), although I can not promise to do it for everyone. If you want to get my attention quickly, it’s probably best to use Twitter. I’m at @AndrewSparrow. Alternatively, you can email me at [email protected]
