POLICE have visited Dominic Cummings’ house amid calls for him to be sacked for breaching lockdown rules.
The senior Downing Street adviser is alleged to have made two trips to County Durham, where his family lives, despite social distancing restrictions.
Two police officers were seen knocking on the door at Cummings' north London address.
There was no answer and the officers walked away moments later.
Asked about the visit by reporters, the Met Police press office declined to explain why the officers were there.
Cummings has denied returning to Durham in April, weeks after his initial time spent self-isolating in the region.
Speaking outside his London home earlier today after one journalist asked if he had been back to Durham in April, the former Vote Leave chief said: "No, I did not."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
