Live updates here as Prime Minster addresses MPs following fines.
An investigation by the privileges committee could make things a little harder for Boris Johnson in the Commons.
If they were to carry out an inquiry and conclude he had knowingly misled the House over the Downing Street lockdown parties, it would not just be a political attack from the other side.And when their report, including recommendations of any sanctions against the PM, came back to the Commons for debate, it would be more difficult for MPs to justify voting against it.
But, to be frank, the likelihood of Labour's motion to refer the PM to the committee passing on Thursday is less than slim. Johnson still holds a significant majority in the Commons, and in recent weeks, there hasn't been the appetite within the party to go after their leader. It will, however, give Labour and other opposition parties a big Commons moment and a chance to keep the Partygate saga in the headlines.
