British minister Gavin Williamson has tendered his resignation after allegations of bullying were levelled against him.

The resignation comes after a spokesman for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said earlier in the day that more time was needed to consider allegations against Williamson, who was accused of bullying behaviour towards colleagues.
