Tory MP Geoffrey Cox gets knighthood after prorogation of parliament controversy Adam Forrest © Provided by The Independent Former attorney general Geoffrey Cox QC has received a knighthood for “parliamentary and political service” in the new year honours. The gong comes despite the Tory MP’s prominent role in last year’s controversial shutdown of parliament – as opposition MPs accused No 10 of scheming to avoid scrutiny over its Brexit plans. Mr Cox advised Boris Johnson’s government that it was legal to prorogue parliament for five weeks in autumn 2019, only for the move to be ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court.
