The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) will later announce whether Labour peer Lord Janner will be charged with child sexual abuse offences.
The Times is reporting the prosecution will not go ahead because the CPS has decided it would not be in the public interest.
The peer, a Labour MP for Leicester for 27 years, is 86 and is said to be in ill health.
The CPS refused to confirm The Times' report.
Leicestershire Police has been investigating abuse allegations against Lord Janner dating back to the mid-1970s.
His house was searched in December 2013 and his Westminster office last June.
In 1991, Lord Janner made statements in Parliament asserting his innocence after a man claimed he had abused him.
The claims were made during the trial of care home manager Frank Beck for child abuse.
In recent years, new allegations surfaced and Leicestershire Police began a long investigation.
Police have gathered potential evidence from at least 30 people and the CPS had begun warning them of the coming decision about whether he should be charged.
This has become rather controversial because last year a former detective sergeant told a national newspaper that in 1989 he was ordered not to arrest Greville Janner and not to search his home.
That former Leicestershire Police detective is Mick Creedon, now chief constable of Derbyshire Police.
Last month the Independent Police Complaints Commission told Leicestershire Police to begin a review into that earlier investigation.
