But he has now been pressed on reports that some Government staff received new questionnaires in relation to spin doctor Lee Cain’s leaving party on November 13, 2020. Asked by Times Radio whether he had received one, Mr Johnson said: ‘I am not commenting on this stuff generally, but the answer to that is no, not so far, or certainly not to my knowledge.He added: ‘I have been very clear with people, I don’t want to give a running commentary on the thing, so let’s wait until it is all concluded and then I will have plenty more to say.’
