Simon Case, the cabinet secretary, allegedly had drinks for up to 20 staff in his Whitehall offices on 17 December
The country’s leading civil servant investigating claims of lockdown-breaking parties inside Downing Street last year has been accused of also hosting a drinks party last December, prompting Labour to question if his judgement will be fair and independent.
According to a series of reports, Simon Case, the cabinet secretary, whose inquiry into the No 10 parties is due next week, had drinks for up to 20 staff in his Whitehall offices on 17 December last year.
