of commons and whether he deliberately misled house of commons. there is a way the commons works, there are agreements. one is that mps are not allowed to accuse each other of lying. usually. another, if a minister misleads the house and says something wrong to parliament, if they do it by accident, they are expected to correct the record swiftly. if they do it deliberately, the expectation is that they would resign. this committee that he is being referred to does have the power to bring in some sanctions of its own if it decides he sled power meant. -- parliament. that means- the immediate think is that it guarantees that this is not going away once the police investigation concludes. once the civil servant has published report. that is not going to be the end of it, because then there will be this investigation into what boris johnson told mp's about it. >> this could potentially have an impact. >> this is a real test of what wilbe ieresng tsee w mtenkh t this hiis. somethingt is being consired by voters when they go to the polls. th elections

the idea that a member of parliament would actually watch pornography in the house of commons chamber. it seemed extraordinary to me and i was not quite sure whether the allegation was credible. unfortunately, it has proven that it was credible and mr parish has done the right thing in resigning. but it's a very sad end to obviously his political career. by all accounts, he was an assiduous local mp, a very effective chairman of the agricultural select committee, but unfortunately now he is only really going to be remembered for this very sad, somewhat sordid episode. how damaging do you think this is for the conservative party? it's certainly not helpful. the conservative party could and should have acted a bit more quickly. this is only going to be the latest by—election caused by a tory mp having to resign over an ethicalfailure. so it's not good for the conservative party, and i think the conservative party probably does need to work harder when these stories arise and too many of them seem to be arising just at the moment, to work harder to get ahead of them, to look like it is

same time, what we also have are members of various other parties in the house of commons who are, as you mentioned, interested in looking at whether the statements made by the prime minister and the chancellor may have constituted misleading parliament and they are looking, it seems, to try and force some kind of vote on that. and whatever the prime minister will say to those mps, we should not forget that there could be more fines forthcoming, and therefore it might pre—empt anything that we see later on so he is sort of in a very difficult position about what he can say, knowing full well there could be further fines to come. yes, i think that's absolutely right. it also means that it will be important that the prime minister chooses his words quite carefully, given that there is still an awful lot of uncertainty about this. we know that the investigations by the metropolitan police are continuing, there may be further fixed penalty notices and of course parliament and the public are still waiting for the final version of the sue gray report that we were all talking about so much

of parliament, the house of commons. and if few hours ago, you are telling your conservative mps that they had devoted to delay that until after the investigation and after the report. you have done a huge u—turn stop till i do not think it is sensible to have endless analysis and investigation now before they have concluded their report. what and investigation now before they have concluded their report. what i don't want to _ have concluded their report. what i don't want to do _ have concluded their report. what i don't want to do is _ have concluded their report. what i don't want to do is in _ have concluded their report. what i don't want to do is in any way, - don't want to do is in any way, impede thousand comments from any further scrutiny and if the opposition really wants to focus on this, that's all they want to talk about, that is fine. but what i want to talk about is the stuff we are doing to take forward the uk. let’s doing to take forward the uk. let's run through — where we are. lastly, borisjohns

for him, the crucial area to focus on is this -- did the prime minister mislead the house of commons? in other words, to use non-parliamentary language, did he lie to the house of commons when he said all covid rules had been followed and when he said he was sure the rules had not been broken. he said he found it difficult to conclude the prime minister didn't mislead the house and that is usually a resigning matter. that increased the pressure on the prime minister. he will be speaking to his own mps behind closed doors. he may face more criticism there than he received publicly in the commons chamber. nonetheless, having spoken to some of the mps lifted as close to the prime minister on his own side, certainly those who are against him said they had not changed their mind. but many others said they felt uncomfortable, but nonetheless, now wasn't the time to move against him. indeed, it was very liberated, not just to talk about the fact he had been fined by the police but in addition,he crisis in ukraine. to emphasize, the people should try to figure out what has happened inside dow

think the house of commons can decide what to do. steve baker, fellow brexiteer like you, senior tory, has said this afternoon you should resign. you're losing credibility in your parliamentary party. my point is... we had two hours on this i think on tuesday, quite a lot on wednesday. i don't think there's much more i can say on it. tomorrow, borisjohnson will hold talks with india's prime minister on ukraine, but he will return to face a commons investigation into claims he misled parliament over the party saga that won't go away. ben wright, bbc news, delhi. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme — in a virginia courtroom, johnny depp says he felt driven to drugs and alcohol because of clashes with his then—partner amber heard. nothing, it seemed, was too big to withstand the force of the tornado. the extent of the devastation will lead to renewed calls for government help to build better housing. internationally, there have already been protests. sweden says it received no warning of the accident.

same time, what we also have our members are various other parties in the house of commons who are, as you mentioned, interested in looking at whether the statements made by the prime minister and the chancellor may have constituted misleading parliament and they are looking, it seems, to try and for some kind of vote on that. seems, to try and for some kind of vote on that-— vote on that. whatever the prime minister will _ vote on that. whatever the prime minister will say _ vote on that. whatever the prime minister will say to _ vote on that. whatever the prime minister will say to those - vote on that. whatever the prime minister will say to those mps, i vote on that. whatever the prime | minister will say to those mps, we should not forget that there could be more fines forthcoming, and therefore it might pre—empt anything that we see later on so he is sort of in a very difficult position about what he can say, knowing full well they could be further fines to come. , ~' well they could be further fines to come. , ~ ., , come. yes, i think that is absolutely _ come. yes, i th

house of commons. it's understood concerns were raised by a minister at a meeting last night. our political correspondent helen catt is in our westminster newsroom. what more do we know about this? we know that there was this meeting of female conservative mps last night, it is a regular meeting. at that, a female minister said she had been sitting next to conservative mp in the house of commons and she noticed he was watching pornography. she named that mp and another person present also backed her up on this. a spokesman for the whip's office, responsible for the whip's office, responsible for party discipline in the commons, said the chief whip was looking into this, that the behaviour was wholly unacceptable and that action will be taken, so we wait to see what that will be. , _, , ., ., ~ will be. this comes after a week in which there _ will be. this comes after a week in which there has _ will be. this comes after a week in which there has been _ will be. this comes after a week in which there h

that is a seventh of the house of commons. i think it really shows more needs to be done to overhaul the culture. how do you overhaul the culture? is it about getting more women in senior positions, more women as editors of sunday newspapers, more women in the cabinet — what is it? i think there is certainly a role for representation to play. there are lots of different ideas about how best to achieve that. some people feel quite queasy about quotas and other people feel it is the only way to make progress. i also think it is about awareness. it's about making sure that there are clear complaint procedures and access to complaint hotlines and people know what to do if they are targeted with inappropriate contact or comments and that due punishment is meted out, so bit by bit the culture will change and people will realise what is and isn't acceptable. now it's time for across the uk. bbc look east has been given exclusive access to a report showing worrying trends in online child pornography. the report by the internet watch
