Someone was sick as 'excessive amounts' of alcohol were consumed during a gathering in Whitehall during lockdown, the Sue Gray report says. There was also a 'minor altercation' between two other people at the same event which was split into two parts.
The incidents happened during a gathering that lasted for a 'number of hours' with the last member of staff leaving at 3.13am, the report says. It was a two-part event that began on June 18, 2020 in the Cabinet Office at 70 Whitehall.
The report published today looked at the gathering to mark the departure of a No. 10 official when England was in step two restrictions and gatherings of two or more people inside were banned unless 'reasonably necessary... for work purposes."
