What else reportedly happened?

Elsewhere, “a separate quiz” reportedly took place at 70 Whitehall around the same time.

A source told the newspaper that the quiz was “entirely virtual”.

However, they conceded that it was possible that some taking part could have done so from their desks in “communal” offices.

Tier 2 restrictions were in place at the time in London and much of the country.

Furthermore, these restrictions forbid anyone from different households to socialise.

Yesterday there were calls for a police investigation into the rule-breaking.

However, a statement by the Met Police yesterday confirmed that it would not take any criminal action.
