Sue Gray report into Boris Johnson 'plundered into chaos' by Met inquiry, delaying it's publication.
Breaking News - The Sun’s Political Editor, Harry Cole, reveals the reason why the Gray report, which is complete in terms of her findings and conclusions, has not yet been sent to the PM for publication.
He said: "The Met police have launched a bombshell by initiating their own inquiry.
It's plundered the report into absolute chaos. There's real concern in legal circles in Whitehall and amongst the investigation team that people won't be able to get a fair hearing.
You can't publish reams of evidence while a police enquiry is live."
Government lawyers, police officers and human resources officials are poring over the document line by line because there are legal concerns that publishing some of her findings on the eight alleged events being looked at by the police could prejudice their investigation.

BORIS Johnson today promised to publish the Sue Gray report in full amid fears some bits could be stripped out.
