Despite speeding crisis, UK minister escapes dismissal

May 24, 2023

The newspaper added that the minister is also not expected to be investigated due to the breach crisis.

Confirming this, Sunak later told Braverman in a letter on Wednesday that his behavior did not constitute a violation of departmental labor rules and would not be further investigated.

He continued: “As far as I know, a better course of action could have been taken to avoid the perception of inappropriate behavior.”

The Sunday Times reported that Braverman had asked government officials to help him organize a special driving awareness course to prevent his speeding from being made public.

“Last summer I was speeding,” the minister told parliament.

Opposition parties have called on the prime minister to investigate whether Braverman breached departmental labor rules over his handling of the incident.

Ministers are not allowed to use government officials to assist them in their personal affairs.
