Hammersmith and Fulham Council has denied claims made by Boris Johnson that it spent thousands of pounds on EU flags.

The Prime Minister has accused the authority during Prime Ministers Questions of spending £27,000 on the flags after the referendum.

Councillor Stephen Cowan has written to the PM saying, “this is not true”.

He explained, banners advertising the government's EU Settlement Scheme cost £27,000 but they were paid for by the government.
