Downing Street has refused to guarantee that the public would be told if fines were issued for coronavirus breaches at No 10 parties.
Officials said it would be for the police to decide whether to make information public or not.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “It will be the Met that sets out what they see fit at the conclusion of their work and I would not seek to set out what that may or may not be.”
The Met Police are investigating 12 parties in Downing Street during lockdown and could hand out fines of £100 a time to anyone who attended.
Cabinet ministers did not discuss partygate at a meeting on Tuesday, No 10 said.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman was asked whether the saga was spoken about by ministers, but he said: “The Prime Minister obviously addressed the House I think for up to two hours yesterday and then spoke to his own MPs at length on this issue.
“The Cabinet this morning was focused on the situation in Ukraine and the domestic priority of levelling up.”
