"My decision is that these matters do not amount to a breach of the Ministerial Code," Rishi Sunak said in a letter to Braverman, referring to the rules governing ministerial behaviour.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Wednesday he had decided not to investigate interior minister Suella Braverman over her handling of a speeding offence last year, ruling that her actions did not breach the ministerial code.
Sunak's decision came after he took four days to consider his response to a Sunday Times report that Braverman had asked officials to help arrange a private driving-awareness course to stop her speeding violation from becoming public knowledge.
"My decision is that these matters do not amount to a breach of the Ministerial Code," Sunak said in a letter to Braverman, referring to the rules governing ministerial behaviour.
"As you have recognised, a better course of action could have been taken to avoid giving rise to the perception of impropriety."
