Home Secretary Suella Braverman will not face an investigation over her handling of a speeding ticket after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak decided it did not amount to a breach of the ministerial code.

A Sunday Times report alleged that Braverman, after being caught speeding in 2022, sought advice about arranging a private speed awareness course via Home Office officials and an aide.
