How Johnson defends each of his partygate statements to parliament

The 66-year-old, from Weybridge, Surrey, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 11 April. Sir William Cash, who chairs the European scrutiny committee, is critical of how long it has taken to get a minister before the cross-party group of MPs for questioning before the session begins - later raising concern that the implementation of the framework is being"rushed".

In response to concerns that the process is being rushed, the NI secretary says he'd"like to think we are giving people the time and space to go through all aspects" of the deal. "Of course, there is volatility in the market... but we also believe that we are in an immensely stronger position than we were pre-2008," he says.Tory MP criticises 'quasi-socialist' economy as budget debate continuesUnsurprisingly, some Conservatives are unimpressed with the level of taxation and spending in the fiscal statement.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said he hoped Mr Davies was reassured by the corporation tax cut worth £9bn, adding:"And if we make it permanent, the capital allowances as I would like to, that will give us the best investment incentives anywhere in the OECD."
