No10 Christmas party reports ‘unsubstantiated’, Raab says

Deputy prime minister Dominic Raab calls reports of Number 10's alleged Christmas party last year “unsubstantiated.”

Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, Mr Raab said: "Unsubstantiated, anonymous claims have been made. The prime minister has been crystal clear in relation to any circumstances of events at Downing Street that the rules were complied with.

"The police have been very clear and will look back on any letter, but they don't normally look back and investigate things that have taken place a year ago.”
