London Police To Research Alleged Downing Street Lockdown Parties

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said Tuesday that the police will look at alleged events held at Downing Street and Whitehall due to an obvious breach of Covid-19 rules.

The London police leader said that at the same time as the force did not commonly check out lockdown breaches long after the event, the selection to open an investigation accompanied evidence supplied through the Cabinet Office.

Dick stated “deep public challenge” about allegations of lockdown events in breach of the authorities’s own Covid-19 pointers.

“What I can inform you this morning is that as a end result firstly of the data provided by using the Cabinet Office inquiry crew and secondly my officers’ personal assessment, I can verify that the Met is now investigating some of activities that came about at Downing Street and Whitehall in the last  years in terms of potential breaches of Covid-19 rules,” Dick stated.

Several other occasions that regarded to have taken vicinity at Downing Street and Whitehall had been deemed now not to have reached the brink for a crook investigation based on the information available, Dick said.

The investigation marks an approximately-flip for the Met, which had previously confronted sharp complaint for dismissing calls to research alleged Downing Street parties.
