Boris Johnson denies No 10 tried to block his access to intelligence
Tory frontrunner says reports of an effort to keep sensitive information from him as foreign secretary are untrue
Boris Johnson has hit out at claims that Downing Street sought to restrict his access to some sensitive intelligence information when he became foreign secretary in early 2016.
The Conservative leadership frontrunner told a hustings of party members that “he was extremely dubious about the provenance” of the story that had led the BBC morning bulletins and that it was untrue.
