btw, what are 'parties'? Are they like the parties held in No.10 that Johnson apologised for, on the eve of Prince Philip's funeral, or are they like 'work meetings' with socialising and bring your own booze?

I know that, Hugh. But what the report will do is provide a factual account of what happened. That, surely, will enable us all to judge whether or not the rules were broken and the extent of the PM's culpability. I have always known that whether or not BJ will be disciplined is a separate issue that will not be covered by the inquiry.
I deliberately put that word 'parties' in inverted commas because there is confusion as to whether they could legitimately be regarded as work events or whether they were, in fact, parties. Having established that, we should at least be told which of these BJ knew about.

He said there would be sufficient information to enable the public and the House of Commons to come to a judgement.
