Scotland Yard has asked for "minimal reference" in civil servant Sue Gray's report into the allegations of lockdown-breakdown parties in Downing Street.
The Metropolitan Police said it had not asked for the report to be delayed or placed any further restrictions on other events but was in contact with the Cabinet Office team to "avoid any prejudice to our investigation".
Boris Johnson continues to anxiously await Ms Gray's report, which has the potential to trigger a vote of no confidence in his leadership by Tory MPs angered over alleged breaches.
