Johnson accused of cover-up as parliamentary inquiry into Russian meddling in British elections will be published after election

A parliamentary report into Russia’s covert action in Britain will not be published until after the election – even as a peer called the delay by the government “an irregular state of affairs”.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson must give the green light for the findings of the special inquiry into Russia by the Intelligence and Security Committee to be released. on Monday night, Johnson was accused of presiding over a cover-up

Ex-terrorism watchdog Lord Anderson said any further delay would “invite suspicion” of the government’s motives in the run-up to next month’s election. Ministers said the report would be published “in due course” in line with procedures for “sensitive” information.

The file was submitted to Downing Street on 17 October.
