Sue Gray: No 10 pledges updated report after police inquiry finishes

An updated report on lockdown parties in No 10 will be published by Sue Gray once police finish their inquiries, Downing Street has said.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with Tory MPs on Monday to reassure them and promise a shake-up of how No 10 is run.

Ms Gray concluded there was a "failure of leadership" over the 16 separate events she examined.

However, the full report has not been published while the police investigate alleged Covid rule breaking.

Metropolitan Police officers are looking into 12 events for alleged breaches of lockdown rules, including three the PM reportedly attended and one in his flat.

The force has confirmed it has received more than 500 pages of documents and 300 pictures as part of its investigation, adding that it expects to conduct interviews with people who have "potentially breached" the rules.

Ms Gray said she has been "extremely limited" by the police investigation in how much she can say, so a "meaningful" report could not be released yet.

In the published update that came out on Monday, she criticised the culture in Downing Street among senior civil servants and staff, arguing that some of the gatherings did not observe the high standards "expected of the entire British population at the time".

"There were failures of leadership and judgement by different parts of No 10 and the Cabinet Office at different times," she wrote.

"Some of the events should not have been allowed to take place. Other events should not have been allowed to develop as they did."

Ms Gray had to rewrite her report after the Met asked last week for only "minimal reference" to be made to events they are looking at, in order to "avoid any prejudice to our investigation".

The events being looked at by the police force include the 20 May 2020 "bring your own booze" event in the Downing Street garden, which Mr Johnson has apologised for attending, as well as the PM's birthday party on 19 June 2020.

And police are also investigating a gathering on 13 November 2020 at his Downing Street flat.

The leading investigator, Commander Catherine Roper, said officers had been handed "well over" 500 pieces of paper, and more than 300 photographs so far.

They expect to approach in writing, or via email, individuals "identified as having potentially breached", she added.

Speaking in the Commons on Monday, Mr Johnson initially declined to answer whether the report would be published in full.

However, Downing Street later confirmed the PM would "ask Sue Gray to update her work in light of what is found" by the police after their inquiries conclude, adding they would publish the result of this work.
