Scotland Yard has announced it has issued more than 100 fines for covid lockdown breaches as part of its partygate investigation.
The police had been waiting for the local elections to be over before revealing its latest round of fixed penalty notices for gatherings held in Downing Street and Whitehall during lockdown.
In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: “As of Thursday 12 May, Operation Hillman, the investigation into breaches of Covid-19 regulations in Whitehall and Downing Street, has made more than 100 referrals for fixed penalty notices (FPNs) to the ACRO Criminal Records Office.
“These referrals have continued to be made throughout the period since our last update on Tuesday 12 April and the investigation remains live.”
