Gavin Williamson won't take severance payment after quitting Cabinet

Sir Gavin Williamson has announced will NOT take severance payment after resigning amid claims of bullying and ‘threatening’ behaviour. The MP spent just two weeks in his most recent Cabinet role.

The Cabinet office minister stepped down after allegations of ‘unethical and immoral’ behaviour

Sir Gavin tweeted: ‘To dispel any speculation, I want to make it clear that I will not be taking any severance. He has been accused of sending expletive-laden messages to former chief whip Wendy Morton, texts which were spurred by the fact he did not get invited to the Queen’s funeral. To dispel any speculation, I want to make it clear that I will not be taking any severance. This is taxpayers’ money and it should go instead toward the Government‘s priorities like reducing the NHS’s waiting lists.In his resignation letter to Rishi Sunak, Sir Gavin stated that the Prime Minister would be ‘aware’ of the complaint process underway.
