But as police said more fines could follow, Downing Street officials refused to say whether the Prime Minister will quit if he is targeted.

He is understood to have been at six of the 12 events under investigation and more than 100 police questionnaires were sent to people at the gatherings, including the Mr Johnson.

Filling in the document is the equivalent of being interviewed under caution.

The 12 events were held on eight dates in 2020 and 2021. Fines are likely to be £100 or £200, but the identities of No10 staff are unlikely to be made public.
