Johnson’s office has promised that the report will be published “rapidly” and the prime minister will address Parliament about its conclusions.

Allegations that the prime minister and his staff flouted restrictions imposed on the country to curb the spread of the coronavirus have sparked public anger and prompted some conservative lawmakers to call for Johnson’s resignation.
Johnson has urged his critics to wait for Gray’s conclusion. He has denied personal wrongdoing and said he has “absolutely no intention” of resigning.
