The Metropolitan Police has said it will ‘make contact’ with two people who attended a gathering at the Conservative Party HQ in London on December 14 2020 in relation to alleged breaches of coronavirus regulations.
They said they were still not investigating alleged staff gatherings at 10 Downing Street and the Department for Education.
They noted the Cabinet Office investigation into this and said ‘if any evidence emerges of behaviour that is potentially a criminal offence it will be passed to the Met for further consideration’.
A party in the basement of the Conservative HQ in Matthew Parker Street on December 14 was organised by Shaun Bailey’s London mayoral campaign.
Mr Bailey has apologised ‘unreservedly’ for the event and quit his role chairing the London Assembly’s police and crime committee after pictures of the event were published in the Daily Mirror.
