Our letter to the Cabinet Office Minister
Dear Darren Jones MP,
We would like to draw your attention to the reports this week about the behaviour of the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Leaked documents indicate that Mr Johnson may be breaking the rules by using his publicly funded private office to further his business interests. Furthermore, there seems to be evidence that Mr Johnson may have broken other rules while in Downing Street and since he left office.
As the Minister responsible for propriety and ethics, can you please reassure us that -
That there will be an investigation into Mr Johnson’s latest alleged misbehaviour.
That the rules for Ministers have been sufficiently strengthened to ensure that the kind of behaviour Mr Johnson got away with in office could no longer be repeated.
Yours sincerely,
Tom Brake
Director
