Prime Minister Boris Johnson is said not to have been handed an FPN.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said:

“As of Thursday 12 May, Operation Hillman, the investigation into breaches of Covid-19 regulations in Whitehall and Downing Street, has made more than 100 referrals for fixed penalty notices (FPNs) to the ACRO Criminal Records Office.

Mr Johnson, his wife Carrie and the Chancellor Rishi Sunak were given FNPs last month.
