London-February 12 (Online): British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has received a questionnaire from the Metropolitan Police and will respond as required, his spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The Metropolitan Police are contacting more than 50 people believed to have attended lockdown parties at Johnson\u2019s Downing Street office and residence to explain their involvement.<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s spokesperson said in a statement, “We can confirm the Prime Minister has received a questionnaire from the Metropolitan Police. He will respond as required.”<\/p>\n

Police are investigating 12 gatherings held at No. 10 Downing Street after an internal inquiry found Johnson\u2019s staff had enjoyed alcohol-fuelled parties, with the British leader attending a few of the events himself.<\/p>\n

At the time many people could not attend funerals or say farewell to loved ones dying in hospital due to strict COVID-19 lockdown rules, and the revelations have sparked widespread anger. Some lawmakers in the prime minister\u2019s own party have joined the opposition in calling for him to quit.<\/p>\n

Johnson has apologized and promised to change the culture at the top of government after the inquiry found a “serious lack of leadership”. After five aides quit, he has appointed new staff to senior roles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
