Police investigating the Downing Street parties have been given more than 300 photos and 500 pieces of paper, the Met has confirmed.

Commander Catherine Roper, who is overseeing the investigation, said: ‘We had a bundle of material provided to us just Friday which is well over 500 pieces of paper, about a ream and a half, and over 300 photographs.’

She said she did not know who would be questioned over the matter but confirmed this part of investigation would focus on individual breaches of Covid-19 rules.

‘We’ll be contacting those people that we want to have further information from with a series of questions – that could be via email or it could be by post,’ she added.

Commander Roper said police would look to contact those involved ‘in a matter of weeks’.
