London's Metropolitan Police has concluded its investigation into lockdown breaches in Downing Street and Whitehall after issuing fixed penalty notices to 126 people.
Scotland Yard said on Thursday that it had issued fines to 53 men and 73 women, with some individuals receiving several fines, for events on eight separate dates.
No 10 said the UK Prime Minister was “pleased” the investigation had concluded and that officers had told Boris Johnson he would not receive a second fine, having received one for the event on his 56th birthday.
The conclusion of Operation Hillman into Partygate allegations paves the way for the publication of senior civil servant Sue Gray’s inquiry.
It was understood Chancellor Rishi Sunak was also yet to receive another fine, after receiving one for attending the Prime Minister’s gathering in June 2020.
The Prime Minister’s wife Carrie Johnson has also received confirmation she faces no further action.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “The Met has confirmed that they are taking no further action with regards to the Prime Minister.”
