LONDON (Reuters) - An investigation into the financing of the refurbishment of Boris Johnson's Downing Street flat by the Electoral Commission is a matter for the governing Conservative Party rather than for the prime minister, his press secretary said on Wednesday.

"I believe it's a matter for the Conservative Party as a political party," she told reporters. "The prime minister hasn't been asked for any information but he and the government will of course be happy to assist if asked."
