A Cumbrian MP said the Prime Minister admitting he attended a gathering on May 20 2020 was an important step forward.
Neil Hudson, who represents Penrith and the Border, said he was in the House of Commons during Prime Minister’s Questions.
He said: “I welcome that the PM came and admitted that he was at the May 20 2020 gathering and that he apologised for that. That was an important step forward.
“As I said yesterday, let’s see the result of the investigation by the Civil Service and potentially the Metropolitan Police and see what the findings tell us.
“But I will not defend the indefensible and I fully share the country’s outrage and upset when people up and down the land were making huge personal and sometimes tragic sacrifices to do the right thing and obey the public health rules.
“We need quickly to get clarity and full transparency as to what happened.
“Again, if rules have been broken then quite rightly there should be serious consequences.”
