Boris Johnson has not formally accepted that the law was broken, No 10 has said, despite police saying 20 fixed-penalty notices would be issued for breaches of Covid rules after allegations of lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street.
Any No 10 civil servants or other staff fined for breaching lockdown rules will not be obliged to tell their managers, and the names of those fined will not be released, Johnson’s spokesperson said.
