July 9, 2021 LONDON: Boris Johnson was found to have breached the code of conduct by the Commons Standards Commissioner over a luxury Caribbean holiday but MPs ultimately overruled the finding. Kathryn Stone said the Prime Minister breached the MPs’ code by having not “fulfilled conscientiously” the requirements for registering the £15,000 accommodation on Mustique paid for by a Tory donor. But MPs on the Commons Committee on Standards said in a critical report published on Thursday that they did not agree with her conclusion “in light of additional evidence”, and cleared him of the allegation. They said Carphone Warehouse founder David Ross was the donor as stated so the Prime Minister’s “register entry is accurate and complete”, but they did express criticism of Johnson. The MPs said it was “regrettable” that a full explanation of the situation was not provided long ago, saying the matter could have been “concluded many months ago if more strenuous efforts had been made to dispel the uncertainty”.
