Suggestions a meeting with the prime minister had been initiated by Sue Gray to discuss her long-awaited report into lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street has been rejected by her spokesman.

It comes after Sky News revealed Boris Johnson had met the senior civil servant to discuss the findings of her inquiry.

Sources had suggested this meeting was called by Ms Gray, but this has now been disputed by her team.

The spokesman also disagreed with the claim that photos from the parties had been discussed at the meeting.
