Lord Zac Goldsmith resigns after criticism over Partygate probe
Lord Zac Goldsmith has quit as a minister after he was found to have undermined a Commons investigation into Boris Johnson and Partygate.
He was among 10 Tories the Privileges Committee said was part of a campaign to interfere with their inquiry.
Lord Goldsmith said the government’s “apathy” on climate change made it “untenable” for him to remain minister for the international environment.
He claimed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was “uninterested” in the environment.
