MPs and LA members will assess the public monies disbursed to Jennifer Arcuri, picturedA planned investigation by London politicians into the ties between Boris Johnson and Jennifer Arcuri has been paused while a probe by the police watchdog takes precedence. However in a statement, London Assembly Oversight Committee chairman Len Duvall AM said this afternoon: 'The London Assembly respects the IOPC's remit and will not in any way interfere with its important work. Ms Arcuri accompanied Mr Johnson on trade missions and received £126,000 in public funding. Both Mr Johnson and Ms Arcuri have repeatedly failed to deny rumours of an affair. Mr Johnson has previously accused his 'old friends' in the Assembly of 'barking up the wrong tree' with their investigation.
