SCOTLAND Yard have today handed down 24 fines for a lockdown-breaking Christmas party at Conservative HQ.
An investigation was launched after a video emerged of staff working on Shaun Bailey’s London Mayoral campaign at the bash.
They were pictured dancing at the boozy festive do on December 14, 2020.
The following year Mr Bailey – now a peer in the House of Lords – stood down from a role on the London Assembly.
A police statement today said: “The Met has now concluded one of its investigations into a number of potential breaches of the Covid regulations opened in July 2023.
“The first was a re-opening of the investigation concerning an event in Matthew Parker Street on 14 December 2020 following new evidence being made available to officers.
“Having assessed that new evidence the Met has made 24 referrals for fixed penalty notices (FPNs) to the ACRO Criminal Records Office for breaches of Covid-19 regulations.
“The second investigation related to a gathering in Parliament at an event on 8 December 2020 continues.”
That event relates to an alleged gathering involving Tory MP Sir Bernard Jenkin.
