BoomRadioNG | February 10, 2022

The Metropolitan Police will email more than 50 people as part of its inquiry into lockdown parties at Downing Street and Whitehall.

A questionnaire will be sent to those alleged to have been at events on eight dates between May 2020 and April 2021.

It will ask for their account of what happened and “must be answered truthfully”, the Met said.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie are expected to be among the people being emailed.

The Met Police said its email must be answered in seven days, but being contacted did not mean a fine would always be issued.

Its inquiry, Operation Hillman, is examining 12 gatherings on the eight dates, some of which the PM attended; to see if Covid regulations were broken.
