Prime Minister Boris Johnson will face questions from other politicians on Wednesday, after the claim that as many as 100 people were invited to an event in the Downing Street garden during the first lockdown.

The BBC has been told the Prime Minister and his wife were among about 30 people who attended the gathering on 20 May 2020.

Boris Johnson wouldn't say if he was there or not, as he says an investigation is underway.
