Boris Johnson has reportedly 'missed' a key deadline in the COVID inquiry in which he was asked to hand over a phone and WhatsApp messages.
Mr Johnson's team say"he will be happy to disclose any relevant material to the inquiry when it is accessible" and insist"full cooperation is underway".
The government had argued the request from inquiry chair Baroness Heather Hallett was"unambiguously irrelevant". Just a reminder that in amongst the fuss surrounding the BBC scandal, Boris Johnson’s emails and WhatsApp messages are due to be handed over to the Covid inquiry by 4pm today.They also ruled that Lady Hallett should be able to examine the documents to decide if they are useful or not - and return those that are"obviously irrelevant".
