Former justice secretary Sir Robert Buckland calls for amnesty for individuals fined for Covid rule breaches, stating it would prevent hindering career prospects during an extraordinary period.
Former cabinet ministers Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg and Sir David Davis support Buckland's call to wipe clean the records of most individuals fined for breaching Covid rules, deeming the fines disproportionate.
Current justice secretary Alex Chalk is reportedly open to the idea of wiping clean the slates of individuals fined for Covid rule breaches.
Data from the Ministry of Justice indicates fines totaling 26 million were issued to over 29,000 individuals for breaching Covid rules, with a significant portion found to be wrongful after review.
