MPs Demand That Boris Johnson Release The 'Partygate' Report.

Boris Johnson has been informed that it is "time for the truth to be revealed," as he faces further pressure to release the full contents of a long-awaited inquiry into "partygate" rather than "hide critical details."

Sue Gray's conclusions on a number of alleged Covid rule-breaking parties in Downing Street and other sectors of government are still being debated by Cabinet Office officials.

Despite the fact that the report on which the prime minister's tenure could hang was nearing completion earlier this week, its release was postponed as Scotland Yard launched its own inquiry.

On Thursday night, sources claimed the conclusions of the senior civil servant had still not been handed to No 10, with government lawyers analyzing the document due to worries that disclosing some details could jeopardize the new inquiry.

Gray is believed to want to provide it in a form that will allow it to be released in its entirety by Downing Street without any further redactions.

Some Conservatives believe the report will not be revealed until early next week, believing Gray will be wary of accusations that it was leaked if it was released on Friday or Saturday, when most MPs will be back in their constituencies.

Insiders in the government have dismissed charges that they are to blame for the delay, claiming instead that it is due to a lack of resources.

According to reports, Scotland Yard has not raised any formal objections to the full publishing of the Gray report.

According to the Met commissioner, Cressida Dick's explanation for why police were proceeding, Gray's conclusions were sufficiently detailed in their reporting of rule breaches to initiate a criminal inquiry.
