The force said it did not consider Mr Cummings had breached the regulations when self-isolating at his father’s farm in Durham at the end of March but that the trip to Durham did constitute a “minor breach”.
Its statement said the journey “might have been a minor breach of the regulations that would have warranted police intervention”. The statement went on: “Durham Constabulary view this is as minor because there was no apparent breach of social distancing. “Had a Durham Constabulary police officer stopped Mr Cummings driving to or from Barnard Castle, the officer would have spoken to him, and, having established the facts, likely advised Mr Cummings to return to the address, in Durham, providing advice on the dangers of travelling during the pandemic crisis. Had this advice been accepted by Mr Cummings, no enforcement action would have been taken.” The force said that in line with its approach throughout the pandemic it would not be taking retrospective action against Mr Cummings as that would amount to him being treated differently from other members of the public. |

Durham police say Dominic Cummings did breach lockdown rules, according to report
The prime minister’s most senior adviser did breach lockdown rules when he made the 50-mile trip to Barnard Castle, an investigation by Durham police has reportedly found. Dominic Cummings claimed he made the journey on 12 April – Easter Sunday and his wife’s birthday – with his wife and four-year-old son to check his eyesight was sound before travelling back to London. He has maintained that he acted “lawfully and reasonably” when he journeyed 264 miles north to self-isolate on his parent’s farm in County Durham at the end of March, at the height of the pandemic. The Telegraph (paywall) reports that the Durham Police investigation has concluded that this was a minor breach of the guidelines that did not warrant any further action. More on this story to follow. ^ Guardian still trying to paint bad headlines but even they admit it was minor with no action required. |

|
By:

|
|
By:
And surprise, surprise, the latest No.10 statement conveniently ignores the minor breach confirmed by the police.
|
|
By:
All the press got left is a little drive which millions of people have done.

jeez that's a days worth from 1st TP

By:
my work here ,is done
|

By:
The police have spoken........finally. Mr Cummings did breach the lockdown rule by driving to Barnard Castle (not London to Durham). But, there's a twist. Mr Cummings will not be prosecuted as it's a minor offence; guilty but no punishment. A member of the government inner circle perhaps to escape prosecution.

|
|
By:
The police said there may have been a minor breach. I agree with the police.
|
|
By:

|
|
By:
Nope, that's flat out incorrect. Remoaners are fuming, nothing new there
