A British parliamentary committee reprimanded former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson on Thursday for failing to report income within time limits set by Parliament.

Johnson has acknowledged his mistake and taken steps to prevent it from recurring, the committee said.

Johnson was found to have failed to make timely income reports on nine recent occasions. The amount involved totalled more than 52,700 pounds (USD 67,000).

The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards found "that registrations were late on four separate occasions, involving nine payments, which suggested a lack of attention to, or regard for, the House's requirements."
