SAN FRANCISCO, December 20, (THEWILL) –Â British Prime Minister, Theresa May, on Wednesday, accepted the resignation of her deputy, Damian Green, who announced he was stepping down following a probe into his conduct.
Green stepped down after he was indicted for breaching ministerial code and had been under investigation regarding allegations of inappropriate conduct.
He was found to have made ‘inaccurate and misleading’ statements on what he knew about pornography found on a computer in his office in 2008.
In his letter, he apologised for his action and accepted that the statements he made about pornography investigation fell short of expectation.
“I apologise that my statements were misleading on this point,” he wrote, which May accepted, wishing him well in his future endeavours.
“It is therefore with deep regret, and enduring gratitude for the contribution you have made over many years, that I asked you to resign from the government and have accepted your resignation,” May wrote in a letter addressed to Green, the First Secretary of State.
