27 January 2022 18:57 (UTC +04:00)

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated on Thursday the results of the inquiry into parties that allegedly took place at 10 Downing Street back in 2020 during the nationwide lockdown, imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19, will be published in full and denied the allegations he is trying to delay the publishing of the report, APA reports citing Teletrader.

Asked about the date for the release, he told reporters that "I can't go beyond what I said yesterday, but I stick to what I said to the House of Commons – while we wait for that, we got to get on with our work, COVID backlogs and help fix cost of living crisis, address issues with inflation by helping more people off welfare."

The results of the inquiry, conducted by Second Permanent Secretary to Cabinet Office Sue Gray, are expected to be released in the forthcoming days. Earlier, Johnson stated he will not resign over the controversial events.
