The senior civil servant investigating lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street was said to have been infuriated when Scotland Yard told her not to publish key aspects of her report.
Sue Gray was frustrated and angered by the intervention, having shared details of her investigation with the force throughout her inquiry, The Times has been told.
She is expected to submit a pared-back version of her report to Boris Johnson in the coming days and it could be published early next week. Yesterday the Metropolitan Police said that it had asked her to make “minimal references” to the events it is investigating. Gray had been under the impression that the force did not intend to stand in the way of publication of her full report.
