British Prime Minister Boris Johnson testified before a virtual parliamentary committee hearing on his government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and the controversy surrounding his senior adviser, Dominic Cummings. The prime minister addressed concerns around Mr. Cummings reportedly traveling more than 250 miles across country while lockdown measures were in place. Several members pressed Prime Minister Johnson on the actions of his senior adviser amid the coronavirus pandemic. Members also questioned Prime Minister Johnson on his plans for reopening the economy, support for health care workers, contact tracing measures, and the timeline for lifting travel restrictions.

The last 12 minutes of the hearing are not available, due to pre-emption for a live event with President Trump. close
