Sue Grays's full report into Downing Street parties in Whitehall during the coronavirus lockdown is expected to be heavily critical of the culture in No 10.
There were repeated violations of Covid restrictions - and the senior civil servant’s report is expected to include further damaging details, including the names of some of those who attended gatherings. Those to be named were written to ahead of its publication, allowing them to have a chance to respond before it was finalised.
The full report could be published on Wednesday, however, the BBC said on Tuesday evening the senior civil servant will hand in her completed report that day. The decision over its publication date will then be left up to No 10 with a Downing Street press conference expected to be held after her findings are made public.
