BORIS JOHNSON was urged today to correct responses given by his press secretary to questions about his affair with Jennifer Arcuri.

Allegra Stratton said that there was “no case to answer” over claims that Mr Johnson had used his position while mayor of London to secure favourable treatment for Ms Arcuri.

Ms Stratton claimed that an Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) report had found that claims regarding a potential breach of the rules — in giving public money and high-level access to Ms Arcuri — were “untrue and unfounded.”
