The Prime Minister’s father, Stanley Johnson, buys without covering his face, breaking the current Covid-19 restrictions.
The former Tory MEP has apologized to Mr Johnson, claiming he could not be “up to 100% in motion” with the current rules after returning from abroad.
The fine for not wearing a cover in the shop was raised by the government last week to £ 200 for offenders.
Former Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn has also apologized for breaking the rules.
They were met at a dinner party attended by nine guests, which was against the government’s “rule of six”.
Asked about the pictures, Boris Johnson’s official spokesman said it was time to determine what action would be taken for the police: “What the prime minister makes clear is that the rules apply to everyone and everyone should follow them.”
The prime minister’s father was spotted in a masked newsgate in west London on Tuesday, a picture of which first appeared in the Daily Mirror.
He arrived a day before his son, Boris Johns, held a press conference in which he appealed to the public to “follow the rules” and warn that those who do not pay will be fined.
Speaking to the Mirror, Stanley Johnson said: “I am very sorry for this slip and I urge everyone to do whatever they can to ensure that the rules regarding masks and social distance are followed.
The fact that this was my first day in the UK after three weeks abroad, I am sure there is no excuse for not knowing the rules. “
A spokesman for Downing Street said the prime minister’s father “fully understands that everyone needs to follow the rules”.
Mr Johnson was criticized for traveling to Greece during a coronavirus lockdown in July.
Guidelines on air travel from the UK Foreign Office Fees advised against “international travel at all” at the time and emphasized a two-week quarantine on return.
But he told the Daily Mail he was in the country “on essential business” to make sure the leased property was “cove-proof” before the holidays resumed.
‘Duty’
A picture of Mr Corbyn was published in the Sun, with newspapers saying the rally took place on Saturday.
In England, people face fines of up to ડ 200 for meeting in or out of more than six groups – although the rules are stricter in some parts of the country.
The North London MP told the paper: “I recently had dinner at a friend’s house where the number of guests eventually exceeded five.
“I understand that being left out for dinner was a violation of the Six Rules. I apologize for my mistake.”
Responding to the picture, Labor leader Sir Kerr Starmer said: “We all have to follow the rules, Jeremy knows that, I know, we all have to follow the rules.
“I have said that whatever the rules of the government are, we should all abide by them. We have got its duty.”
Asked whether Mr Corbyn should be fined, Sir Carey told reporters: “It’s not up to me to decide who should be fined, but for me to say that everyone should follow the rules.”
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
