" I think that is an attempt to deflect from reality, " he told Bbc News .
Sir Philip Mawer, a former parliamentary commissioner for standards, said: " If The Letter and the Prime Minister 's reply are not published then I think people will draw their own conclusion and it will not be favourable. "
He Said he had been " disappointed But not surprised" at Lord Geidt's resignation, adding there had been a " succession of failures" on the part of the Prime Minister and " it's not just Partygate. "
A Downing Street source told The Bbc that Lord Geidt's resignation had been a " total surprise and a mystery" to the Prime Minister , adding: " Only on Monday Lord Geidt asked if he could stay on for six months. "
