Boris Johnson has been handed Sue Gray’s report into Downing Street parties, ahead of its expected public release later.

The civil servant’s inquiry has examined gatherings in government buildings during Covid restrictions.

It is unclear what the report will contain, after police requested “minimal reference” to events it is investigating.

Opposition MPs are demanding it is released in full.

The Cabinet Office, where Ms Gray’s team is based, said she had “provided an update on her investigations to the prime minister”.

Speaking earlier, Mr Johnson refused to be drawn on whether Ms Gray’s report would be a “whitewash”, when answering questions.

He added he sticks “absolutely to what I’ve said in the past” over reported lockdown breaches in No 10.
