 Labour MP Jon Trickett said, "She met with the prime minister, and all sorts in Israel, with a lobbyist—I don't think it is good enough to apologise as I really think this is a serious breach of the ministerial code.The Prime Minister really should be sacking her, or at the very very minimum referring it to the Cabinet Office for investigation".On 6 November, Patel was summoned to meet the Prime Minister Theresa May, who then said that Patel had been "reminded of her responsibilities" and announced plans for the ministerial code of conduct to be tightened.
