New British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing growing questions from the parliamentary opposition over his reassignment of Suila Braverman to the portfolio of the Ministry of the Interior, days after her resignation for violating security rules.
British Home Secretary Braverman, 42, resigned from the government of former Prime Minister Liz Truss on October 19 after admitting to using her personal email to send official documents, in violation of the government's code of conduct.
But after arriving at Downing Street, the seat of the government in London, the new Prime Minister, Sunak, reappointed her last Tuesday, the same day he officially took office.
Next week, the largest opposition Labor Party plans to seek to force the government to publish assessments of the minister's shortcomings, citing serious security issues.

The Mail on Sunday reported that former Prime Minister Liz Truss's phone was hacked by agents suspected of working for Moscow.
Opposition Labor MP Yvette Cooper expressed her concerns about the seriousness with which the government deals with security issues.
"All of this leads us to the questions that are being raised about the government not taking national security issues seriously enough," Cooper told Sky News, noting that Minister Suila Braverman should answer these questions.
The Labor MP, who is responsible for her party's security issues, said Britons should know if this was the first such breach, and Cooper criticized the new prime minister's "fatal miscalculation" by renaming Braverman "six days after she broke government law". .
However, Michael Gove, Minister for Settlement, Housing and Communities, defended his colleague, the Home Secretary, describing her as a "first-rate political leader." The system is more efficient.
The British prime minister rejects the demand of the opposition "Labour" and "Liberal Democrats" for an investigation into Braverman's violation of the ministerial law by sharing a sensitive document with a Conservative MP from a personal email, without permission.
The Minister of the Interior has so far refused to appear before members of Parliament to explain what happened regarding the violation of security rules.
