Boris Johnson lost his cool during his three-hour grilling by the Privileges Committee on Wednesday as he accused its members of "complete nonsense".
Mr Johnson's temper flared in response to a suggestion from Sir Bernard Jenkin, a senior Tory backbencher, that he did not seek "proper" advice before telling MPs that no parties took place in Downing Street during lockdown.
"This is complete nonsense, I mean, complete nonsense," he said. "I asked the relevant people. They were senior people. They had been working very hard. Jack Doyle gave me a clear account of what had happened."
He had previously said a gathering he attended during the second national lockdown was "absolutely essential for work" as he appears before the Privileges Committee.
The former prime minister insisted "hand on heart, I did not lie to the House" shortly after swearing on the Bible.
