For the same reason no more FPNs were issued to anyone at the Downing Street get-togethers over the last two weeks - trying to avoid being seen as influencing the Elections.

The police service is investigating several potentially rule-breaking gatherings following revelations in late 2021, and announced the first round of fines via Fixed Penalty Notices in mid-April.
But representatives have since said they will not issue further announcements before the May 5 local elections.
In an announcement on April 21, a Met Police spokesman said that while the investigations will continue during the pre-election period, "restrictions around communicating" would see them suspend updates.
The restrictions mentioned by the spokesman are also colloquially known as "purdah" or "heightened sensitivity" and primarily apply to Government ministers.
They prevent civil servants and those within ministerial ranks from announcing new initiatives that might give them an unfair advantage over other parties during elections.
