This is reported by The Telegraph.
The main emphasis in favor of Fallon's departure was made by the leader of the House of Commons, Andrea Leeds, who was sure that the minister wanted to remove her from the position held at the time. In turn, Fallon believed that when carrying out personnel reshuffles in the Cabinet should dismiss the convinced supporters of Brexit. The minister himself is not an advocate of secession from the EU.
Fallon was sure that at the next review of the details of the country's exit on Brexit, the deputies under the leadership of Leeds could make concessions with Brussels, which could entail additional financial expenditure from London.
As reported in "URA-Inform," the Minister explained that the recent days in the British Parliament, the traditionally flourishing culture of sexual harassment was widely discussed.
