FLINTSHIRE'S two MPs voted to endorse a report by the privileges committee which found Boris Johnson knowingly misled parliament over partygate.
MPs voted by 354 votes to seven in the House of Commons to endorse a report, whilst 280 MPs abstained from voting.
The vote means Mr Johnson, ousted as Prime Minister by his own party less than a year ago, will not be allowed a pass to visit the parliamentary estate and would have been banned for 90 days from sitting as an MP had he not resigned earlier this month.

Alyn & Deeside's Labour MP, Mark Tami, and Delyn's Independent MP, Rob Roberts, both voted to endorse the report.
Wrexham MP, Sarah Atherton, and Clwyd South MP, both Conservatives, abstained from voting.
