* Why did he quit this time?
Mr Blunkett resigned after he described his position had become “untenable” after breaching the ministerial code of conduct over his business dealings.
* What did he do wrong?
Following his resignation as home secretary in December 2004, he had taken paid work without seeking advice from the Independent Advisory Committee on Business Appointments.
* What’s wrong with that?
The ministerial code of conduct says that the committee should be consulted before ex-ministers take up any private sector role within two years of leaving office. ”
