Dominic Cummings is to be questioned by MPs over the British government’s new “high-risk” scientific research agency that he championed before his dramatic departure from No 10.

In his first public appearance since quitting as Boris Johnson’s chief aide, Mr Cummings will be grilled by the Commons Science and Technology Committee on Wednesday morning.
