Public pressure had been growing on Mr. Blunkett to resign after revelations emerged that he had broken the British Ministerial Code of Conduct in relation to his large shareholdings and short-lived directorship in a company called DNA Bioscience. This is Blunkett's second time to be forced into standing down from office, having previously stepped down as home secretary last year over claims his office had fast-tracked a visa application. A member of the opposition Liberal Democrat party, Greg Mulholland said "I think he's done the right thing [in quitting], having done several quite blatantly wrong things". Yesterday Blunkett declared that he would not resign in an interview with the Sheffield Star , insisting that he had "done nothing wrong."
