A limited version of a report into lockdown-breaching parties held in UK government buildings during the COVID-19 pandemic points to a “serious failure” to observe the high standards expected of those working at the heart of government.
The report was commissioned by Prime Minister Boris Johnson following a series of damaging allegations of Christmas parties and other gatherings held in his official residence at Number 10 Downing Street and other government departments in Whitehall at the height of the pandemic, in violation of lockdown rules written by the government.
