Partygate: Met Police to issue first fines, sources say
28 March 2022
The first fines for breaches of Covid-19 rules as part of a police investigation into government lockdown parties will be issued soon, the BBC has been told.
Westminster sources suggested the force will issue at least 15 fines initially.
The Metropolitan Police investigation into 12 events held across government was launched in late January.
It came after an internal inquiry passed information to the force. The Guardian said fines were "imminent".
Downing Street and the Met have not commented, but government sources told the BBC the force could issue the fines on Tuesday.
