Brooks Newmark, Conservative MP for Braintree, has stepped down as Minister for Civil Society.
His resignation comes ahead of a story due to be published in tomorrow's Sunday Mirror concerning his private life.
The Minister for Civil Society is a position within the Cabinet Office in the government of the United Kingdom.
The post was held by Brooks Newmark and concerns charities, volunteering, social enterprise and the 'Big Society' agenda of the Coalition government.
