Mr Thomas, the MP for Plymouth Moor View, accuses Boris of misleading the community over the issue.
The letter, on House of Commons headed notepaper and dated 28 th October, states:
Dear Rt Hon Boris Johnson, "I am writing to demand an apology to the people of Plymouth for your cynical false announcements about funding for a new A&E at Derriford Hospital. You misled my community, leaving nothing but a trail of broken promises.
"Derriford desperately needs a new A&E department. But your unfunded promises have delayed developments and misled the public. It is now clear that only a fraction of the funding needed existed.
"You manipulated uncertainty to mislead our community into believing the funding was there. The money was never there. Suggesting otherwise is a disgrace.
