Boris Johnson will publish the full report into lockdown parties in Downing Street once the Metropolitan police investigation has concluded, in a significant U-turn after an angry response from Tory MPs.
No 10 had promised only to consider publishing fuller evidence once police inquiries have ended. But a spokesperson said on Monday night that Johnson would ask Sue Gray to make a further update.
A Downing Street spokesperson said: “Given the police have said they are investigating a number of events, it would not be appropriate to comment further while the Met’s investigation is ongoing.
“But, at the end of the process, the prime minister will ask Sue Gray to update her work in light of what is found. He will publish that update. However, the prime minister is clear we must not judge an ongoing investigation and his focus now is on addressing the general findings.”
