Jessica Taylor /UK Parliament / AFP.An ally of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned his ministerial post Monday after an inquiry found he used his position to try to intimidate someone involved in a family dispute.
Burns had used Commons stationery in February last year to write to a person representing a company involved in a dispute with his father over the repayment of a loan. “Mr Burns used his parliamentary position in an attempt to intimidate a member of the public into doing as Mr Burns wished, in a dispute relating to purely private family interests,” the committee’s report states.The commissioner for standards, Kathryn Stone, who carried out the inquiry, said his behaviour had a wider impact than simply breaching the MPs’ code of conduct.
