Electronic devices have been seized following searches of two homes in relation to the leaking of the CCTV footage that led to Matt Hancock's downfall, it was revealed today.
The Information Commissioner's Office said they had retrieved the kit as part of an investigation into how the material emerged.
The dramatic pictures of the then-Health Secretary in a clinch with Gina Coladangelo in his office caused a storm.
After initially trying to hang on and being backed by Boris Johnson, he quit admitting he had breached social distancing rules.
But serious questions have been raised about how the highly sensitive footage came to be leaked.
