Scotland Yard has announced 20 penalties will be handed to those deemed to have broken lockdown rules throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, by attending parties at Downing Street and Whitehall.
The fines are a result of a formal investigation which was launched at the turn of the year, after it was revealed that roughly 12 events between the two premises' throughout 2020 and 2021 potentially could have broken rules bestowed by the Government.
The Metropolitan Police said that 20 fixed penalty notices will be referred to the ACRO Criminal Records Office, which will then be responsible for issuing the fines. It added that more referrals may be made in the future.
