Calls grow for Downing Street parties report to be published

Key Facts

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is calling for the report to be published in full and the investigations to be wrapped up as soon as possible.
Despite what seemed like a sudden intervention from the police this morning, taking even some in the Cabinet Office by surprise, this dialogue has been ongoing throughout Sue Gray's investigation - just as there have also been continuous discussions with HR and legal teams about what level of detail is appropriate for her report to include.
"The Met did not ask for any limitations on other events in the report, or for the report to be delayed, but we have had ongoing contact with the Cabinet Office, including on the content of the report, to avoid any prejudice to our investigation."
It has already been confirmed that the events Ms Gray is looking into include a "bring-your-own-booze" drinks event in the No 10 garden in May 2020 attended by Mr Johnson, and a staff gathering to celebrate the PM's birthday in June 2020.
