Braverman appointment: Lib Dems call for Cabinet Office inquiry

The Liberal Democrats have called for a Cabinet Office inquiry into the appointment of Suella Braverman to Home Secretary after she was sacked for breaching the ministerial code. 

Liberal Democrats Home Affairs Spokesperson, Alistair Carmichael MP said: 

"Suella Braverman's appointment makes a mockery of Rishi Sunak's claims to be bringing integrity to Number 10.

"There must be a full independent inquiry by the Cabinet Office into her appointment, including any promises Sunak made to her behind closed doors.

"If it is confirmed that Suella Braverman repeatedly broke the ministerial code and threatened national security, she must be sacked.

"A Home Secretary who broke the rules is not fit for a Home Office which keeps the rules."
