On Thursday, the government confirmed three parties would be investigated for Covid rule breaches, with Paymaster General Michael Ellis saying any potential criminality uncovered would be reported to The Police .
Each of the three cases that ended in fines this month would have required evidence from the Metropolitan Police and a decision by The Crown Prosecution Service to proceed.

Ami Goto, a 23-year-old from West London, was last week fined £1,100 plus court costs.
