'Last summer I was speeding. I regret that, I paid the fine and I took the points,' she said, when asked about the matter in an interview with broadcasters. She refused to discuss exactly what dealings she did have with civil servants on the matter, and she did not deny asking them for help. Her comments came after No 10 confirmed Rishi Sunak had spoken to his ethics adviser over the issue, although no formal inquiry has yet begun.
