Resigned Ministers' Personal Statements To The House: From Call Girls To Clapham Common

Call Girls And Clapham Common: Personal Statements To The House

Liam Fox will make a traditional personal statement to the Commons on Wednesday following his resignation last Friday and the cabinet secretary's report into allegations he broke the ministerial code.

Sir Gus O' Donnell found Liam Fox put the security of both himself and Ministry of Defence officials at risk by providing details of his diary to his close friend Adam Werritty.

The former defence secretary is not the first disgraced minister to explain his behaviour to the House - and he won't be the last.
