Mr Fox resigned on Friday

Former defence secretary Liam Fox broke the ministerial code in his dealings with his friend Adam Werritty, an official report is expected to say.

Mr Fox resigned on Friday after a week of allegations over his working relationship with Mr Werritty, a lobbyist and former flatmate.

The BBC understands a report by Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O’Donnell due out on Tuesday will find he broke the rules.

But it will conclude Mr Fox did not gain financially from the arrangement.
