[Politics] Williamson resigns after bullying claims

[BirSaNN]

 

Sir Gavin Williamson has resigned as a government minister after allegations of bullying, saying he aims to clear himself of "any wrongdoing”.

He said he "refuted" how his "past conduct" had been characterised.

However, he said the claims had become a distraction from the government's "good work".

He added he would comply with a complaints process concerning messages he sent a colleague, and that he had apologised to the recipient.
