Gove: Maria Miller resignation 'her own decision'

Culture secretary Maria Miller's resignation was "entirely" her own decision, education secretary Michael Gove has said.

Mrs Miller's decision to quit follows a row over he expenses. The culture secretary was cleared of funding a home for her parents at taxpayers' expense, but was told to repay £5,800 of the expenses she claimed.

Speaking to the Today programme, Mr Gove said that he was "saddened" by Mrs Miller's decision to leave her post.
