Scotland Yard gives update on breaches of Covid regulations in Whitehall and Downing Street
The Metropolitan police have said they have made more than 50 referrals for fines over breaches of coronavirus lockdown rules at gatherings in Boris Johnson’s offices and residence.
Police are investigating 12 gatherings held at Downing Street and the Cabinet Office after an internal inquiry found the prime minister’s staff had enjoyed alcohol-fuelled parties, with Johnson attending some of the events himself.
