Image source, PAA Devon MP says the departure of one of Theresa May's closest allies from cabinet is a "huge blow" for the prime minister.
He denies downloading or viewing pornography.
The Conservative MP for Totnes Sarah Wollaston says Mr Green "had to step down".
"He was a very close, long-standing colleague and friend and supporter, so I'll know that she'll be disappointed that he's gone. But we have a ministerial code, we have investigations and that was the point on which he left. There was a conclusion that he broke the ministerial code."
It will be a cloudy, mild and murky start to the day.
There will be a gradual improvement from the west later on though, with some brighter intervals developing by the afternoon.

The Environment Secretary Michael Gove is visiting Devon later to open the new Dawlish Warren flood scheme.
It's hoped the project will reduce flood risk to 2,800 homes and businesses around the Exe Estuary, as well as the main rail line into south Devon and Cornwall.
He'll also announce work will begin next year on a £12m scheme in Exmouth and that £1.6m will go towards schemes in Plymouth and Whimple.
The schemes are part of the government's continued £115m investment drive to reduce flood risk to 15,000 homes and businesses in Devon and Cornwall by 2021.
Ahead of the visit, Mr Gove said 100,000 more properties are "already better protected from flooding and that figure is set to triple in under four years".
"Dawlish Warren is only one of 350 new defences built since 2015 and work continues on schemes across the country - all of which are helping to bring peace of mind to communities, as well as investment and opportunities."

"With a smile that could light up any room, Julia meant so much to so many," said the lifeboat crew, whose flag is flying at half-mast today.

More needs to be done to help the homeless in Torbay, according to one local charity.
Humanity Torbay - which supports rough sleepers - says the situation is at "crisis point".
Ellie Waugh works for the charity and says it "just isn't right".
"This is not the Victorian age. When I've got people crying and phoning me, telling me they wish they were dead or they were in prison rather than out on the streets - that's a really sad indictment of 2017 in this country."
Torbay Council insists those who need help are getting it and it's working hard to improve things.
The government also says it's spending more than £1bn nationally - up to 2020 - to make sure no-one goes without a bed for a night.
Jamie Hancock sent the messages to students at The Roseland Academy in Tregony.
