LONDON: British ministers will be subject to new rules governing “inappropriate, bullying or harassing behaviour” following a sleaze scandal at Westminster, Prime Minister Theresa May´s spokesman said Tuesday. May informed her cabinet that the ministerial code of conduct had been updated as they met for the first time following Monday´s reshuffle, her official spokesman said. “There are a number of changes. It will include new wording to ensure that the code properly covers inappropriate, bullying or harassing behaviour,” he told a regular press briefing. Michael Fallon resigned as defence minister in November after being accused of groping a journalist several years previously, saying his behaviour had “fallen below the high standards” required of his role.
