Twelve detectives have been trawling through 345 documents including emails, door logs, diary entries and witness statements.

More than 500 pics have also been scoured at a total cost of almost half a million pounds to the taxpayer.

Nobody was interviewed under caution, with the Met instead handing out questionnaires.

Mr Johnson will now be waiting nervously for the second half of the Gray report, which was kept under lock and key while cops investigated.

The first half of her internal probe criticised a culture of drinking in Downing Street – with the second half expected to be even more scathing.

Acting Deputy Commissioner Helen Ball said: “The information that we received with regard to the alleged breaches in Downing Street and Whitehall was sufficient to reach our criteria to begin such an investigation.

“Our investigation was thorough and impartial and was completed as quickly as we could, given the amount of information that needed to be reviewed and the importance of ensuring that we had strong evidence for each FPN referral. This investigation is now complete.”
