Lady Sugg hands in resignation after overseas aid cut by a third
Boris Johnson was struggling to contain a Conservative revolt as a Foreign Office minister resigned after the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, announced he was breaking a manifesto promise by cutting the overseas aid budget by a third and ending the Tory commitment to spend 0.7% of gross national income on aid.
Lady Sugg, whose brief includes sustainable development, submitted her resignation to Johnson in protest against the cut.
