Responding to the announcement by the prime minister that the chief executive of Kensington and Chelsea has stepped down, senior London MP Tom Brake said: 

“The prime minister notes that the chief executive of Kensington and Chelsea has resigned, but what about the Conservative political leader? It was a political decision to stockpile huge cash reserves while apparently skimping on safety measures to protect disadvantaged members of the community.
 
“No one is looking for a witch hunt, but if heads are starting to roll, they should be the right ones. There must be political accountability.”
