London's Deputy Mayor quits amid claims of misconduct

Saturday, 5 July 2008

Britain's conservative party leader David Cameron has been left red-faced after chaos surrounding his colleague Boris Johnson.

The London Mayor's right hand man, Ray Lewis, has been forced to quit over claims of misconduct.

It is major embarrassment for the Conservatives who see City Hall as a test for a Tory government.

An independent inquiry has been launched into Mr Lewis' past life - as a priest and a youth worker.
