Boris Johnson has ordered an inquiry into Tory Nusrat Ghani's claim that she was told she had been fired from a Government job due to her Muslim faith.
The former Transport Minister said she considered quitting politics after a whip allegedly told her that her "Muslimness was raised as an issue" at a meeting in Downing Street and that her “Muslim woman minister status was making colleagues feel uncomfortable”.
Ms Ghani was sacked from her role as a Transport Minister in a reshuffle in February 2020.
