Sue Gray's inquiry into alleged lockdown breaches in No 10 could be released as soon as this week after the Metropolitan police said they would not stand in the way of publication.

No 10 has said, subject to legal advice, that it would not block any publication, clearing the way for Boris Johnson to face damaging allegations about his conduct and the behaviour of his staff amid the new police investigation.
