British lawmakers should wait for the outcomes of investigations by both the police and a senior civil servant into allegations that gatherings in Downing Street broke the law during COVID-19 lockdowns, a minister said on Tuesday.
Paymaster General Michael Ellis said he was not in a position to comment on the details of the police investigation, which was announced earlier on Tuesday.
"The Cabinet Office investigation will continue its work. I would urge the house to wait for the findings of that investigation and for the police to conclude their work," Ellis told parliament.
