Sue Gray’s final report into Downing Street parties has been sent to No 10, and is expected to include damning descriptions and photographs of gatherings that broke lockdown laws.
A Cabinet Office spokesperson said: “We can confirm that Sue Gray has provided her final report to the prime minister.”
The senior civil servant’s verdict on the culture that developed in No10 and Whitehall during the pandemic is keenly awaited in Westminster, where Boris Johnson will respond to the findings later on Wednesday.
No 10 insiders are being given time to read printed copies of the report, before it is published at approximately 11am.
The Met police issued 126 fixed-penalty notices relating to gatherings in Downing Street and Whitehall, including for Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak over a birthday party held for the prime minister while curbs on indoor gatherings were in place.
