Spice Girl Mel B has challenged sacked Tory Trade minister Conor Burns over “what you said to me in lift” as he faces conduct probe
The MP for Bournemouth West, who has held the seat since 2010, said he would “fully cooperate” with the party’s inquiry and “look forward to clearing my name”.
Mr Burns, 50, was appointed to his post at the Department for International Trade in last month’s reshuffle after Liz Truss became Prime Minister. “The Prime Minister took direct action on being informed of this allegation and is clear that all ministers should maintain the high standards of behaviour – as the public rightly expects.”
Tory MP Simon Hoare said the investigation should take place “speedily”, and on the presumption that Mr Burns is “innocent until proven guilty”.
