epa05601741 YEARENDER 2016 JUNE British Member of Parliament and former London Mayor Boris Johnson (L) in Selby during a campaign visit in Central London, Britain, 22 June 2016. Johnson was a key figure in the Vote Leave campaign in the EU Referendum, where Britons decided on whether to stay or leave the European Union on 23 June. EPA/STR UK AND IRELAND OUT

Boris Johnson is to be summonsed to court to face accusations of misconduct in a public office, over claims he made that the UK sent the EU £350m a week.

It relates to comments the former Mayor of London made while campaigning for the UK to leave the EU before the 2016 referendum.

The summons was brought by a private prosecution against the former foreign secretary, saying he misled the public during the campaign and again at the 2017 general election. Marcus Ball alleges Mr Johnson misrepresented the amount of money Britain sends the EU by using the figure £350m a week.
