Damian Green has resigned from the Government following an investigation into his conduct. Below are the letters between the former First Secretary of State and the Prime Minister:
May makes clear in her letter that she asked Green to resign – but it’s worth noting what the resignation was for, as the investigation into his conduct focused on two aspects. The summary of the Cabinet Secretary’s report on these allegations, which was released to the media this evening, says that it was ‘not possible to reach a definitive conclusion on the appropriateness of Mr Green’s behaviour with Kate Maltby in early 2015, though the investigation found Ms Maltby’s account to be plausible’. Green has apologised for his behaviour, which Maltby outlined in a Times piece.
But the minister has instead resigned over his clams that he was unaware there was indecent material – pornography – on parliamentary computers in his office.
