Sue Gray: Last News

The Sue Gray report today found 'failures of leadership and judgement' over Downing Street lockdown parties that 'should not have been allowed'.

Civil servant Sue Gray has published part of her long-awaited report into the partygate row. She has been investigating a number of rule breaking parties allegedly held during lockdown, including the 'bring your own booze' gathering on 20 May 2020. Now, an update from the report has been made available to the public. The inquiry covers a total of 16 separate gatherings on 12 different dates. Ms Gray is understood to have pared back the report following a request from the Metropolitan Police. The wording of a government statement issued on Monday (31 January) suggested that the official may wish to publish a fuller-version of the results of her inquiry after the Met completes its investigation. But Downing Street said it will publish the Gray report in the full form it has received from the inquiry team - and did not commit to publishing a fuller version in the future.
