Jacob Rees Mogg has slammed the Privileges Committee report into Boris Johnson.
Speaking to GB News the former Leader of the House Of Commons also warned the Commons was now in danger of looking foolish.
He told GBNews: “There’s no real sanction in this report and I think 90 days is merely trying to make a point. But I want to come to the details of the report, because if you look at annex one, the report tries to answer the questions posed by Boris Johnson on the ninth of June. And one of the points he made was that ‘most of the members of the committee, especially, had already expressed deeply prejudiced remarks about his guilt before they had seen the evidence and that they should have recused themselves.
“Now annex one purports to answer the questions in Boris Johnson’s letter of the ninth of June. It absolutely fails to do so it makes no mention of this.
“Chris Bryant behaved absolutely properly and recused himself because he had prejudged it. Harriet Harman did not and the problem with that is that the Chairman of committees is extremely influential and important. The first draft that goes to the committee to vote on is prepared by the chairman of the committee and that level of power or authority of influence is one that needs to be exercised by somebody who has not judged the case before the committee. And I think this is a fundamental flaw, which undermines all the work of the committee.
“I think if you look back over the history of Parliament, Parliament sometimes makes great mistakes when it tries to stand on its dignity. I think that this report is in danger of making the House of Commons look foolish.”
