Boris Johnson will offer a "full-throated apology" to MPs on Tuesday after being fined for breaking Covid laws as he tries to head off a potential Commons rebellion.
The Prime Minister will assure MPs returning from the Easter recess that he recognises the strength of feeling over his fine, with many Tory backbenchers understood to be waiting until after his statement to decide whether he retains their support.
