LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson "unwisely" allowed a refurbishment of his flat to proceed without more rigorous consideration of how it would be funded, the independent adviser on ministers' interests said in a report.

Johnson has in recent weeks faced intense scrutiny over how the refurbishment of his flat, estimated in some media reports to have run into hundreds of thousands of pounds, had been financed.
