Members of the public should not report their neighbours for breaching the the ‘rule of six’ unless they are having large parties, the UK Prime Minister has said.

Any social gathering of more than six people in England is against the law, with people facing fines of up to £3,200 if they do not abide by the new measure, which applies to both indoor and outdoor settings.
