Downing Street's been accused of lying over what it knew about Tory MP Chris Pincher, who allegedly groped two men

The former chief civil servant at the Foreign Office, Lord McDonald, says a comment from Number Ten, that Boris Johnson was not aware of specific allegations against Mr Pincher, is "not true".

But Deputy prime minister and Esher MP Dominic Raab, who was Foreign Secretary at the time, says a civil service inquiry was carried out.
