Boris Johnson’s spokesperson says it is for police to make judgment after Scotland Yard announces 20 fixed-penalty notices
Boris Johnson has not formally accepted that the law was broken, No 10 has said, despite police saying 20 fixed-penalty notices would be issued for breaches of Covid rules after allegations of lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street.
Any No 10 civil servants or other staff fined for breaching lockdown rules will not be obliged to tell their managers, Johnson’s spokesperson said.
