The Prime Minister sought to play down his personal involvement in the gatherings detailed in the report by senior official Sue Gray but acknowledged that they took place "on my watch".
The Gray report gave details of gatherings at which officials drank so much they were sick, sang karaoke, became involved in altercations and abused security and cleaning staff at a time when millions of people across the country were unable to see friends and family.
The report said the "senior leadership" in No 10 must "bear responsibility" for the culture which led to lockdown rules being broken at a series of events in 2020 and 2021.
The Prime Minister faced fresh demands to resign after the report said the public would be "dismayed" by the behaviour uncovered.
