The Met says it has closed its investigation into Covid breaches during lockdown parties in No 10.
The ending of the police inquiry paves the way for the publication of the full report by senior civil servant Sue Gray into lockdown gatherings.The Met said the eight events resulting in fines took place between May 2020 and April 2021, with different Covid rules in place at different times.
Acting Deputy Commissioner Helen Ball said whether an event had taken place in "someone's home" was a factor in deciding whether to issue a fine. The Met said it would not be identifying any recipients of fines from its investigation, which had involved 12 detectives and cost £460,000. The force added that its investigation involved examining 510 photographs, as well as CCTV images, emails, diary entries and witness statements.
Police also examined 204 questionnaires from people who were at the events. There were no interviews under caution.
