It is absolutely imperative that the British public are told the whole truth. Everyone hopes that there have been no redactions or changes to the report.

Did anyone in No.10 receive a copy of the report yesterday, and were any requests made for sections to be removed or altered? Were any changes made, following requests, to the section relating to the gathering in the No.10 flat on 13 November 2020?
