The home secretary allegedly asked civil servants to help her avoid a fine and points on her licence by instead organising a private driving awareness course.
Such an arrangement would have meant that she would not have had to appear at a public speed awareness course, where other participants would have been able to see that she was in attendance.
After the civil servants refused, a political aide tried to persuade the course provider to agree to the one-on-one course, according to a report in The Sunday Times.
When that request was refused, Ms Braverman is said to have pulled out of the course altogether and opted to pay the fine and take the three points.
Ms Braverman was allegedly issued with the speeding notice after she was caught breaching the limit on a road outside London in summer 2022, when she was attorney general – the government’s chief legal adviser.
......
It would not be the first time the home secretary has breached the ministerial code. Back in October, the right-winger resigned after she was found to have sent an official government document from her personal email, in the dying days of Liz Truss’s 49-day government.
......
The calls for a probe into Ms Braverman’s conduct will be a further blow to Mr Sunak who has lost two cabinet ministers due to their questionable behaviour in the past five months.
Deputy prime minister Dominic Raab resigned in April after a government inquiry upheld complaints of bullying against him, while former Tory party chairman Nadim Zahawi was sacked in January after failing to disclose he was being investigated by HM Revenue and Customs over his taxes.
