It is normal for ministers to 'step down' if they are being investigated as a result of a serious allegation.
iiuc this is because the allegation becomes a mega distraction, so they can't do their job properly.
Perhaps he refused to step aside pending the investigation, so was dismissed?
fwiw I'm not suggesting Sargent, or the allegations, were treated satisfactorily. Let alone well.
Do you have a source to cite re: his state of mind please?
I had a rummage a couple of days ago, but failed to find anything.
Haven’t seen Damian Green standing down have we?
