Children and families minister Will Quince resigns
Minister for Children and Families Will Quince has resigned, following a string of resignations over Boris Johnson’s leadership, which included Rishi Sumak and Savid Javid leaving cabinet.
Quince tweeted: "With great sadness and regret, I have this morning tendered my resignation to the Prime Minister after I accepted and repeated assurances on Monday to the media which have now been found to be inaccurate."
He was referring to the prime minister Boris Johnson repeatedly saying he was unaware of sexual misconduct allegations relating to Chris Pincher before appointing him as deputy whip.
Quince oversaw the long-delayed SEND green paper launch in March.
In his resignation letter, Quince wrote: “Stepping away from a job I love, where we are working every day to improve the life chances of vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people up and down our country, pains me greatly.
“I will miss it hugely but pledge to do all I can to continue this important work from the backbenches.”
It follows Nadhim Zahawi being promoted from Education Secretary to chancellor in a cabinet reshuffle following the resignations. Michelle Donelan is now the Education Secretary, becoming the third in this post in just ten months.
