David Laws
Laws was appointed Chief Secretary of the Treasury (a Cabinet post, but the PM and Chancellor are the highest ranked leaders of the Treasury) on the 12th May 2010, shortly after he helped negotiate for the formation of the Coalition government. However, it was soon discovered that Laws had been claiming expenses for a home he shared with a sexual partner he was not legally partnership with, which was against the rules for claiming expenses. Laws had not wanted to do this as he would reveal the fact his sexual partner was male. He resigned from the Cabnet on the 19th May and was replaced by fellow Liberal Democrat Danny Alexander, who had just been appointed Secretary for Scotland.
