That's not what he says...
“It was only yesterday afternoon that I received a text asking me to confirm that I would be voting for the prime minister’s preferred candidate for the ISC chair, I did not reply as I considered it an improper request. At no earlier stage did I give any undertaking to vote for any particular candidate.”
"In recent days, the official No 10 spokesman explicitly denied that the Governmant was seeking to 'parachute' a preferred candidate into the chair, stating that it was a matter for the senior parliamentarians on the committee to decide. It is therefore strange to have the whip removed for failing to vote for the Government's preferred candidate"
