Sir Keir Starmer is taking advice on whether Mike Tapp broke Government protocol, after Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood called for the migration minister to be sacked over an article out of step with official policy on immigration plans.
Ms Mahmood has called for the Prime Minister to dismiss Mr Tapp, and has denied him access to sensitive documents without her approval, after he wrote a Times article suggesting foreign care workers should be exempt from her plans to tighten settlement rules.
