Boris Johnson will reportedly not be interviewed by the Met as part of the Partygate investigation
The only officials being interviewed are "witnesses", whose role is to help the police interpret questionnaires submitted by other people, according to ITV.
It comes after an initial round of 20 fixed-penalty notices were issued as part of Scotland Yard's investigation, confirming police believe coronavirus laws were broken at the heart of Government. The FPNs include those relating to a party held the night before the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral, according to The Guardian.
The event sparked outrage because it took place just hours before the Queen mourned Prince Philip alone.
