Number 10 has so far held back from confirming the report will be published in full following the decision of the Met Police to investigate the allegations, with ministers committing only to releasing the "full findings".

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said anything less than a full publication of the report would amount to a "cover-up".

Downing Street reiterated on Tuesday afternoon that the government wants the report to be published "as soon as possible" and insisted Number 10 is not trying to block its publication.

It comes after Mr Johnson was hit by more damaging claims about a birthday event at No10 in which his wife Carrie gave him a cake as others sang "happy birthday".

The event is one of over 10 parties which allegedly took place at Downing Street while Covid regulations were in place.
