Downing Street parties: No taxpayers’ money was spent on food or drink consumed at partygate events being probed, No 10 insists

The denials came from Cabinet Office minister Michael Ellis as it was revealed the police questionnaire sent to Boris Johnson and Number 10 staff asks for a “lawful exception” or “reasonable excuse” for parties during lockdown.
