The Scottish First Minister demanded that the anticipated report into the No 10 'partygate' affair must be made public in full as soon as Boris Johnson receives it.
Being compiled by the senior civil servant Sue Gray, the report has sparked countless speculations, suggesting that parts of it could have been removed by the time it is made public.
However, today, January 27, Boris Johnson said that he would "of course" publish the report in full. Nicola Sturgeon warned delays in the investigation being made public would spark more suspicions about potential changes being made by Downing Street, the Daily Record reports.
The First Minister said: "The report should be published immediately after Boris Johnson receives it and published in full.
"The longer he was to sit on it, the more suspicion people would have about what he might be doing to it."
But the First Minister said the report will not change the fact Mr Johnson "misled parliament".
"Everybody is really keen to see what Sue Gray concludes, obviously," she said as she entered the Holyrood chamber ahead of First Minister's Questions.
"I think it's really hard to imagine anything she could say that would change what we already know from what's on the record, and that's that Boris Johnson misled parliament, and I think that's the severity of the position he's in."
It comes as Keir Starmer also demanded the Sue Gray report is published "in full and as soon as possible".
The Labour leader said: "And I mean in full – not redacted, not edited, not a summary, not parts left out. In full.
"After what everybody in the country's been through in the last year or two with the pandemic, huge sacrifices have been made, the least that they're entitled to is the truth about what the Prime Minister was up to."
