The first batch of lockdown fines for the parties during covid at Downing Street and the Cabinet Office are due to be issued ‘imminently’, according to reports.
Around 20 fines may be dished out, according to Sky News, although the PA news agency reports a government source has rebuked the fines will be issued on Monday night.
Sky confirmed that the punishments could be handed down by police detectives probing the so-called ‘partygate’ scandal in the “coming hours”.
