Met says it has received 300 pictures and 500 pages of documents from Gray The Metropolitan police has revealed it has received 300 images and 500 pages of documents about the partygate allegations from the Sue Gray inquiry. It is is working “at pace” to contact people present, who may face a fine, it said. The Met said: We are now reviewing it at pace to confirm which individuals will need to be contacted for their account. This prioritisation will include reviewing all the material from the Cabinet Office, which includes more than 300 images and over 500 pages of information. The Met confirmed the events it is investigating include two the PM admits attending - albeit he insists briefly - in the Downing Street garden in May 2020 and a birthday celebration thrown for him in the cabinet room. It also confirmed it is investigating an event in the Downing Street flat held on the day Dominic Cummings left his job. The Met also defended its decision to ask Gray to withhold key detail of the worst breaches. It is the Met’s third attempt at an explanation following a barrage of criticism. The Met said: The reason this request is necessary is that in any investigation officers seek independent accounts from each individual, as free from the influence of others’ recollections as possible. Officers would also seek to avoid providing details of their investigation in advance to those they contact, so that individuals are not tempted to shape their accounts according to what is in the public domain.
