A former official who was responsible for “propriety and ethics” in the UK government has confirmed she has paid a fine for attending a party during the lockdown, in violation of CCP virus restrictions.

In a statement issued on April 4, Helen MacNamara, who served as director-general for propriety and ethics in the Cabinet Office between 2018 and 2020, apologised for her “error of judgment.”
