Met Police will ‘make contact’ with attendees over alleged Covid breaches after Tory Christmas party
Police officers are to speak to two people who attended a gathering at the Conservative Party headquarters over “alleged breaches” of Covid laws.
Images this week revealed that campaign staff held a Christmas party at Conservative offices in London last year, when the country was under tough restrictions banning indoor socialising.
The Metropolitan Police said it was aware a gathering took place in Matthew Parker Street in London on 14 December last year.
This is the same day ex-Mayor of London candidate Shaun Bailey and his team were pictured at a gathering, dressed up, drinking alcohol and with catered food.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “Officers will be making contact with two people who attended in relation to alleged breaches of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) Regulations.”
