Boris Johnson is to dodge commenting on the partygate scandal for months and Downing Street will not name those members of staff who have been issued fines for breaching lockdown.
Downing Street said on Tuesday the Prime Minister would not address the scandal again until the full Sue Gray report is released.
It is not believed Johnson is among those set to receive fines, and the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We’ve said we’ll update if that were to occur, but our position has not changed.”
