CONSERVATIVE MP Ian Liddell-Grainger has reacted angrily to the reports of lockdown parties at 10 Downing Street.
In the latest revelation, it is claimed the Prime Minister's principal private secretary Martin Reynolds sent out invites to a 'Bring Your Own Booze' bash in the garden of No 10 on May 20 2020, while the country was in lockdown.
Boris Johnson is set to face questions from MPs in the House of Commons over what actually happened.
Mr Liddell-Grainger, who represents Bridgwater and West Somerset, criticised the latest allegations of lockdown rules being broken at the Prime Minister's residence.
He said: "There's going to be an enquiry, although I'm not sure how deep it's going to be.
"But I'm absolutely horrified.
"You can't ask for a lockdown across the country and then it turns out they were having parties at Number 10 and 11.
"I hope the enquiry looks at exactly what was going on.
"People have to answer for what they were doing and why they were doing it.
"It's an absolute breach of trust and is utterly indefensible."
