By Full Sue Gray report to be published within days
The much anticipated and long-awaited Sue Gray report which investigated lockdown events in Downing Street is expected to be published within days.
Officials set to be named by Sue Gray in the upcoming report have until 5 pm on Sunday to lodge any objections.
Around 30 individuals, including the Prime Minister, have been told they are likely to be named.
As of Saturday night, none had launched legal action to try to prevent their names from being included in the findings.
Speaking to the BBC, Whitehall sources said that challenges could still be launched before the deadline and any such moves could further delay the report.
The release of the report had already been postponed until after the Metropolitan Police had concluded its investigation.
This resulted in a total of 126 fines being issued to 83 people, including one to Mr Johnson.
It is not known how much of the evidence gathered by Ms Gray, which includes a total of 510 images, will be made public.
But Labour has called for the report to be published “in full and with all accompanying evidence”.
On Friday it emerged the prime minister and Ms Gray met several weeks ago over the report, although there are conflicting accounts of what was discussed.
Mr Johnson faced calls to explain the meeting from opposition parties, who said it threatened to undermine public confidence in the investigation.
An version of the report, published in January, did not name individuals but criticised “failures of leadership and judgement” and said some events should not have “been allowed to take place”.
The prime minister faces a further inquiry by the Commons’ Privileges Committee about whether he knowingly lied to Parliament when he previously told MPs that no laws had been broken in Downing Street.
Under government guidelines, ministers who knowingly mislead the House of Commons are expected to resign.
