Boris likely to be questioned over "Greengate"

Word is that this morning's standards sub-committee meeting has decided to proceed with further investigation into Mayor Johnson's conduct over the Damian Green episode having considered Len Duvall's complaint. I understand the term "quick investigation" has been used but that this means Boris will be asked to explain his interventions. The meeting turns out to have been a joint GLA/MPA affair. As well as those listed on the GLA website, Richard Tracey AM - an MPA member - was among those present. What does this decision mean? Could it spell a spot of trouble for the mayor or turn out just to be a case of going through the motions? More detail soon, I hope.

Update, 13.25: No comment from the Assembly, MPA or Mayor's office as yet. A formal decision notice has to be published before anyone can speak on the record. I gather this cannot be guaranteed today.

Update: 16.08: Helene now has the full story.
