Boris Johnson might not appoint a new ethics adviser, after the previous two both quit, Downing Street has said.
Asked if Lord Geidt would be replaced as ministerial interests adviser, the Prime Minister’s spokesperson said: “We haven’t made a final decision on how best to carry out that function, whether it relates to a specific individual or not.”
The official said Johnson would “carefully consider that before setting out the next steps” and added that having a process for ensuring standards are maintained by ministers was “vitally important”.
