 'Johnson rules out inquiry into lockdown breaches by Cummings by denis staunton boris johnson has ruled out an inquiry into dominic cummings’s apparent breaches of lockdown rules as the number of conservative mps calling publicly for his chief adviser to be sacked reached 44. the british prime minister told the house of commons liaison committee that mr cummings had shown him evidence that his account of his trip from london to durham during lockdown was accurate. but he has not shared that evidence with cabinet secretary mark sedwill and dismissed calls for an inquiry into mr cummings’s actions. “quite frankly, i am not certain that right now an inquiry into that matter is a very good use of official time,” he said. ”we are working flat out on coronavirus.” mr johnson said the story had become the subject of a “political ding-dong” and he rejected the accusation that mr cummings had undermined the government’s moral authority in dealing with the crisis. “i, of course, am deeply sorry for all the hurt and pain and anxiety that people have been going through throughout this period – this country has been going through a, frankly, most difficult time. we are asking people to do quite exceptionally tough things, separating them from'
