It emerged yesterday that Haigh pleaded responsible to an offence associated to incorrectly telling police {that a} work cell phone was stolen in 2013.
In her resignation letter to the Prime Minister immediately Haigh stated: “I respect that regardless of the details of the matter, this challenge will inevitably be a distraction from delivering on the work of this authorities and the insurance policies to which we’re each dedicated.”
Kier Starmer replied: “Thanks for all you might have finished to ship this Authorities’s bold transport agenda.
“You might have made big strides to take our rail system again into public possession by the creation of Nice British Railways, investing £1 billion in our very important bus providers and reducing value for motorists.”
Haigh launched a significant prices crackdown on HS2 final month and stated she is “reinstating ministerial oversight of the venture to make sure higher accountability.”
She has been changed by new Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander who was a Deputy Mayor for Transport in London underneath Sadiq Khan.
