Partygate Breaches of Covid Regulations in Whitehall and Downing Street

Op Hillman – Covid-19 regulation breaches update – Met Police

They like others thought they got away with it but the law is the law !

I’m sure there are a number of public servants and members of public that will now be rightly investigated and fined for breaking the law. Shameless and disgusting behaviour of morons.

Against the backdrop of the pandemic, when the Government was asking citizens to accept far-reaching restrictions on their lives, law breaking behaviour by anyone is impossible to justify.

The investigation into allegations of breaches of COVID-19 regulations in Whitehall and Downing Street has now progressed to the point where the first referrals for fixed penalty notices (FPN) will be made to ACRO Criminal Records Office.

We will today initially begin to refer 20 fixed penalty notices to be issued for breaches of Covid-19 regulations. The ACRO Criminal Records Office will then be responsible for issuing the FPNs to the individual following the referrals from the MPS.

We are making every effort to progress this investigation at speed and have completed a number of assessments. However due to the significant amount of investigative material that remains to be assessed, further referrals may be made to ACRO if the evidential threshold is made.

As it has for all fixed penalty notices issued during the pandemic, the MPS will follow the College of Policing Approved Professional Practice for Media Relations which states that “Identities of people dealt with by cautions, speeding fines and other fixed penalties – out-of-court disposals – should not be released or confirmed.”

We will not confirm the number of referrals from each individual event subject to our investigation as providing a breakdown at this point may lead to identification of the individuals.

Get answers from the government and public sector

Make a request for information to a UK public authority and by law, they have to respond

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) a give you the right to see information.

If you ask for environmental information, your request will be handled under the Environmental Regulations (EIRs).

Environmental information includes things like carbon emissions or the environment’s effect on human health.

You do not need to tell the organisation which law or regulations you’re making your request under.

Organisations you can ask for information

You can request information from some public authorities, such as:

How to make an FOI request

You must make a Freedom of Information (FOI) request in writing. You can do it by:

  • letter
  • email
  • social media
  • online form – check the organisation’s website or the government department’s page to see if they have an online form
  • Use the excellent What Do They Know website to make and publicise your FOI request.
From www.whatdotheyknow.com

Before you make a request

You might not need to make a Freedom of Information (FOI) request if the organisation has:

  • already published the information
  • previously responded to an FOI request

Check their website for responses to previous FOI requests. This is sometimes known as a ‘disclosure log’. You can search for published responses to FOI requests from government departments, agencies and arms length bodies.

You can also email or phone the organisation to ask if they’ve already published the information or responded to an FOI request.

What to include

You should give:

  • your name (not needed if you’re asking for environmental information)
  • a contact postal or email address
  • a detailed description of the information you want – for example, you might want all information held on a subject, or just a summary

You can ask for information in a particular format, such as:

  • paper or electronic copies of information
  • audio format
  • large print

When you’ll get a response

The organisation should send you the information within 20 working days of receiving your request. Some schools are allowed more time during school holidays.

In Scotland, you should allow 6 extra days if you send your request by post.

The organisation will tell you when to expect the information if they need more time.

When your information will be shared

If you’ve sent an FOI request to several government departments, they may share your name and request between them. This is to help deal with your enquiry more effectively.

No other details will be shared and your information will not be used for any other purpose.

Costs

Most requests are free but you might be asked to pay a small amount for photocopies or postage. The organisation will tell you if you have to pay anything.

At a time of war in Ukraine, rising costs and Councils pleading poverty, spending precious funds on hand delivered environmentally unfriendly printed material, is a waste of public money.
