I note you seek access to the following information:

1. Can you please tell me the current status of your investigation into the former prime minister, Mr Boris Johnson for his various acts of misconduct in public office?
Specifically, but not limited to the incident where he lied to you about the "Vomit up the wall" parties at Downing Street, as you are obviously aware of that one.

2. Are you also aware of the lies he told to get elected, and have you recognised that as misconduct?

I believe there are a number of people who may have information to share.
