The Metropolitan Police says it has reopened its investigation into potential Covid regulation breaches during an event at Conservative Campaign Headquarters in December 2020. The force has launched a new probe into a gathering in Parliament during the same month.
A statement from the force said: "The Met is now re-opening an investigation into potential breaches of the regulations at an event in Matthew Parker Street on 14 December 2020."
Footage obtained by the Mirror emerged of a party with people drinking and dancing on that date while Covid-19 lockdown rules were in place. The Coronavirus tier two restrictions meant there was supposed to be no mixing of households indoors, apart from support bubbles, and only six people were allowed to meet - socially distanced - outside..
