"An independent review has confirmed that I have not breached the Ministerial Code and there is no evidence to suggest I have acted improperly. Nonetheless, to avoid distraction for the Government, I have resigned as City Minister."
Tulip Siddiq stated, "My family connections are a matter of public record, and when I became a Minister I provided the full details of my relationships and private interests to the government."
Starmer mentioned, "Tulip Siddiq has acted entirely properly by referring herself to the independent adviser, as she's now done, and that's why we brought into being the new code."
