BBC: Boris Johnson has committed a "clear breach" of the ministerial code by not clearing a new role writing a column for the Daily Mail with the parliamentary authorities.
The committee that vets ex-ministers' appointments says he informed them only half an hour before the news emerged.
The first weekly column by the former prime minister appeared online late on Friday afternoon.
The paper was one of Mr Johnson's staunchest supporters when he was PM.
Mr Johnson resigned as an MP on Monday, but is still required to seek advice from the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (Acoba) on new jobs for two years after leaving ministerial office.
He stepped down as prime minister last September. » | Brian Wheeler & Chas Geiger, BBC News | Friday, June 16, 2023
