LONDON (Reuters) -Former British prime minister Boris Johnson told a parliamentary inquiry there was no evidence that he intentionally misled lawmakers about illegal parties held at his Downing Street office during COVID-19 lockdowns.

Parliament's Committee of Privileges has been investigating statements that Johnson made to the chamber in Dec. 2021 to establish whether he intentionally set out to mislead lawmakers about the parties, some of which he attended himself.
