Dominic Cummings, the former chief adviser to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson who fell foul of lockdown rules, will face questions at the Covid-19 inquiry.

A key figure in Downing Street throughout the UK government's early response to the pandemic, Mr Cummings will give evidence today as the investigation continues.
