By PM’s wife will also receive fine
It has now been revealed that the wife of the PM, Carrie Johnson, will also be fined for breaking lockdown rules.
This comes as the announcement today, that Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak will be fined for breaking lockdown rules.
It is understood Fixed Penalty Notices do not amount to a criminal record, to divert from court proceedings.
If no action is taken to resolve the penalty, then it can be diverted to court.
It is apparent in extreme cases, a warrant can be issued if there is a failure to settle to FPN.
The Met Police revealed earlier today that 50 fines have been issued so far over parties at Downing Street and Whitehall during national lockdowns.
Police are investigating 12 events in total over alleged parties.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has called for Johnson and Sunak to resign, stating the Conservative party is “totally unfit to govern”.
A Downing street spokesperson said: “In the interests of transparency, Mrs. Johnson can confirm she has been notified that she will receive a Fixed Penalty Notice.
“She has not yet received any further details about the nature of the FPN.”
The Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice group said the prime minister and chancellor broke the rules.
Matt Fowler, the co-founder of the group, told the BBC: “There you have it – it’s now indisputable that whilst bereaved families were unable to be at their loved ones’ sides in their last moments, or stood at their funerals alone, the people responsible for protecting us in Downing St were partying and rule-breaking en masse.”
