Boris Johnson should resign if he is found to have broken the ministerial code, the leader of the Scottish Conservatives has said as the British Prime Minister is investigated over renovations to his Downing Street flat.

Douglas Ross said on Sunday that Mr Johnson should “of course” quit if he is found to have breached the code as probes are under way into whether he properly declared any donations for the lavish refurbishments.
