Ben Wallace confirmed his resignation as the UK defense minister on Thursday in a letter to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Wallace said last month he wanted to step down after four years in the role and would quit as a lawmaker at the next national election to pursue new opportunities.
"Last month marked my fourth year as secretary of state for defense. It also marks the ninth year as a minister. I have had the privilege of serving you and your predecessors in the task of protecting this great country and keeping its citizens safe," Wallace said in his resignation letter. (QNA)
