The Government's former ethics chief has apologised for her 'error of judgement' after being fined by the Met over the Partygate scandal
Ms MacNamara, who used to be the deputy cabinet secretary, was among the first group to receive a Fixed Penalty Notice from Scotland Yard as part of its investigation into alleged lockdown-breaching parties in Downing Street and Whitehall.Ms MacNamara was the director general of propriety and ethics in the Cabinet Office from 2018 to 2020 and left Government to work for the Premier League.
The purpose of the role was to ensure the highest standards of propriety, integrity and governance within Government. It has also been reported that Boris Johnson will not be interviewed by the Metropolitan Police as part of their investigation into alleged lockdown-breaching parties in Downing Street and Whitehall.
This is because the force is not interviewing those who have received questionnaires as part of the inquiries, and could potentially be fined, according to ITV News. The Met is investigating 12 events, including as many as six Mr Johnson is said to have attended, and has sent out more than 100 questionnaires.
