"It is of course true that my statements to Parliament that the Rules and Guidance had been followed at all times did not turn out to be correct, and I take this
opportunity to apologise to the House for that.

That is clear from the findings in the Sue Gray report, and the result of the Metropolitan Police investigation, which I accept. "

(That is an admission that he did not correct the record when able in the House - as far as I read it)

However final paragraph
110. I believe that my statement to the House of Commons on 25 May 2022, the publication of the Sue Gray report and its placing in the Library of the House of Commons, constituted a full correction of my honest but inadvertently misleading statements,

and that that correction was made as soon as reasonably possible

( So first paragraphs say he apologises now - yet final paragraph states he did so in May as far as he believes)

Having skimmed the document it is effectively an I did not know, nobody told me couple with he is being made a victim
Same old Johnson
