Christmas parties as well as any gatherings that included 2 or more people

The request was refused by Prime Minister's Office.

Dear Prime Minister's Office,

I would like the full list of all Christmas parties related to and attended by Number 10 staff for December 2020. This is as well as any gathering of 2 or more people for primarily social activities.

It would be useful for the request to identify which gatherings of 2 or more people occurred that were exempt for work reasons (I.e were not primarily social activities) as well - so there is a comprehensive list.

If possible, the request should include timings, numbers attended, who attended and any recorded information relating to it - such as emails, WhatsApp’s, teams messages, notes etc.

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Eaves
