MPs demand answers from cabinet secretary on Suella Braverman’s ‘security breaches’

Exclusive: Powerful Commons committee could launch full inquiry – after Rishi Sunak failed to deny Simon Case’s advice was ignored

MPs have demanded the Cabinet Secretary answer detailed questions behind “alleged breaches of security” by Suella Braverman, piling fresh pressure on Rishi Sunak over the controversy.

“What established processes are available to the Cabinet Secretary for dealing with alleged breaches of security by ministers?” one question asks.
