"They are misleading people to an extraordinary extent", he added. Mr Johnson stood by the claim and urged an end to "blue-on-blue action".
Leaving the European Union could allow the government to spend an extra £100m a week on the NHS by 2020, leading Brexit campaigners have said. Sir John stopped short of personally attacking fellow Conservatives Mr Johnson and Mr Gove but accused them of running a campaign that was "verging on the squalid".
Justice Secretary Michael Gove has called on the government to pledge the money in the event of an EU exit - saying it could come from the UK's EU budget. In his most outspoken intervention to date in the referendum debate, the former Conservative leader said: "They are misleading people to an extraordinary extent".
Mr Johnson told Andrew Marr the £350m figure was a "reasonable" one to use, arguing that although some of it was returned by the EU "this is money we cannot control," adding that it could be spent on the NHS or other "one nation" priorities instead.
