Asked if he feared any further revelations, Fallon told the BBC: “The culture has changed over the years. A close ally of the prime minister, Green has strenuously denied making unwanted sexual advances towards Kate Maltby, an academic involved in Conservative politics. Dawn Butler, the shadow women and equalities secretary, blamed the overwhelmingly male makeup of parliament for the prevalence of sexual misconduct. Some MPs have partly blamed a culture of drinking at Westminster for creating situations where sexual harassment has arisen. He said no such injunction had ever existed and he had never been “engaged in anything resembling sexual harassment, sexually abusive behaviour or lewd remarks” with staff.
