Sir Keir Starmer was facing questions last night over why it took him more than a fortnight to give his account of Beergate to police after the labour leader finally returned a questionnaire to police.
A spokesman confirmed the pair have responded to officers questions over whether they broke lockdown regulations during the Beergate event at Durham Miners Hall.
Three weeks after Durham Police bowed to pressure and launched an investigation into the now infamous beer and curry gathering, they will quiz a key witness - the students who filmed Starmer there.
