Health secretary says there is a need to have investigation, and stresses ‘no one is exempt’ from rules
Sajid Javid has admitted having doubts about whether Covid rules were followed in Downing Street at an event last year alleged to have been a Christmas party.
The health secretary said it was right the gathering was being looked into after Allegra Stratton, the prime minister’s then-spokesperson, resigned for being caught in leaked footage joking about the lack of social distancing there.
