Downing Street has said it will confirm if the Prime Minister and top civil servant Simon Case are among the recipients.
The police are investigating 12 events that may have breached Covid lockdown rules in government buildings, including at least three attended by Mr Johnson.
Speaking on a visit to Glasgow, he said the latest update makes it "obvious there was widespread criminality" adding: "It blows the prime minister's defence out of the window" that "all rules were complied within Downing Street." Reports of gatherings in Downing Street and Whitehall during the pandemic led to several Conservative MPs calling for the prime minister to resign.
The police began their own investigation after receiving information from Ms Gray's team. Ms Gray will release her full report when the Met have concluded their inquiries. Sources have told the BBC that some fines had been given to people who attended a leaving party in Downing Street on 16 April 2021 - the eve of Prince Philip's funeral.If they contest the fine, police will review the case and then either withdraw the penalty or take the matter to court.The government has faced intense pressure over gatherings held in and around Downing Street during Covid lockdowns.
