The thing is the heads that roll would have to be sufficiently high, which in turn will sour the relationship (probably already strained) between Senior Civil Servants and Ministers.
Fundamentally Ministers are setting a precedent where - no matter what goes wrong - officials take the fall.
The idea that these happened, Johnson, Raab and presumably others attended such events sincerely believing them to be work related, is entirely fanciful.
