The former PM was warned in a letter from the Cabinet Office last week that pubic funding will "cease to be available" if he breaks any conditions in its funding offer,Mr Johnson's legal advice in the inquiry, which is being led by former Court of Appeal judge Baroness Hallett, is being paid for by the taxpayer in a deal with the Cabinet Office.
The Cabinet Office wrote to Mr Johnson: “The funding offer will cease to be available to you if you knowingly seek to frustrate or undermine, either through your own actions or the actions of others, the Government’s position in relation to the inquiry unless there is a clear and irreconcilable conflict of interest on a particular point at issue."
It comes amid a spat between Mr Johnson and Cabinet Office secretary and Deputy PM Oliver Dowden, who oversaw the referral of Mr Johnson to police over suspected Covid rule breaches as the inquiry was prepared.
