Boris Johnson did not break the law when he took a bike ride seven miles from Downing Street, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has said as she called for greater clarity on Covid regulations.

The British Prime Minister sparked controversy after it emerged he went on a cycle ride in the Olympic Park in Stratford at the weekend after imposing strict coronavirus restrictions on most of the country.
