Downing Street has provoked fury by refusing to reveal the names of anyone in Downing Street who is handed a fixed penalty notice over the 'partygate' lockdown breaches.
Scotland Yard confirmed it will not name anyone given a fixed penalty notice (FPN) as a result of its investigation after Boris Johnson’s press official refused to guarantee Downing Street would tell the public if fines were issued for breaches for the covid rules.
It raises the possibility the public might never be told if the Prime Minister is found to have broken the law in a move which Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said “stinks of a cover-up by Number 10”.
