Full list: how will Tory MPs vote on the partygate report?

On Monday, MPs will get the chance to debate and vote on the Privileges Committee report on Boris Johnson. This will not be whipped by the government, allowing Tory MPs to vote how they wish. So far more than a dozen of Johnson’s supporters in parliament have expressed public criticism of the report but some stop short of saying that they will vote against the recommendations.

The majority of Conservative MPs are expected to abstain but Anthony Browne has made a virtue out of the fact that he will be voting for the report – the first Conservative MP to say so publicly. Below is The Spectator’s list of MPs who are not abstaining on Monday:


Voting against the report (4):

  1. Sir Simon Clarke: ‘I am amazed at the harshness of today’s report by the Privileges Committee.’
  2. Brendan Clarke-Smith: ‘I’m backing fairness and justice – not kangaroo courts.’
  3. Nadine Dorries: ‘Any Conservative MP who would vote for this report is fundamentally not a Conservative.’
  4. Sir Jake Berry

Voting for the report (2):

  1. Anthony Browne: ‘We need to stand up in support of our democratic institutions and in support of high standards in public life.’
  2. Tim Loughton: ‘Many Conservative MPs will vote for it as well.’
