By
Christopher McKeon
Summary
Downing Street has confirmed that Home Office minister Mike Tapp will remain in his post despite Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood calling for his sacking. The dispute arose after Tapp wrote an article on immigration policy in The Times, which Mahmood claimed breached the Ministerial Code. Mahmood also restricted Tapp's access to sensitive documents. Downing Street issued a rebuke to both ministers, stating it was "not for any individual Secretary of State" to determine ministerial code compliance, and reminded Tapp of his obligations under the code.
