Home secretary Suella Braverman is under mounting pressure over her handling of a speeding offence. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has told MPs that he would update on any response to the allegations facing Mrs Braverman “in due course”.
The Prime Minister said that he had met with Sir Laurie Magnus, Independent Adviser on Ministers' Interests, and the Home Secretary, amid reports she asked officials to try to arrange a private speed awareness course for her rather than take penalty points on her driving licence.

The Home Secretary insisted she had not sought to evade a sanction for speeding, and Downing Street said Mr Sunak still had confidence in her.
