The former ethics chief for the Government has reportedly been fined over the " partygate " scandal.
Helen MacNamara, who used to be the deputy cabinet secretary, is said to be among the first group of people to receive a fixed-penalty notice (FPN) from the Metropolitan Police as part of its investigation into alleged lockdown-breaching parties in Downing Street and Whitehall.
The Daily Telegraph reported that MacNamara received a £50 fine on Friday in connection with a karaoke leaving do held in the Cabinet Office on June 18, 2020 to mark the departure of a private secretary.
