Felicity Buchan and John Glen are the latest MP's to resign from government
Children and families minister Mr Quince said he had "no choice" but to quit after he was forced on television to defend Mr Johnson using Downing Street briefings "which have now been found to be inaccurate".
"Reaching this decision has not been easy. Stepping away from a job I love, where we are working every day to improve the life chances of vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people up and down our country, pains me greatly. "We at The Children's Society have so valued his passion and dedication to his brief and his genuine heart to want to improve children’s lives. Thank you for all you’ve done in this vital role."
His letter reads: "Recent events concerning the handling of the appointment of the former Deputy Chief Whip, and the poor judgement you have shown, have made it impossible for me to square continued service with my conscience. "Thank you to all of you who have written to me expressing your views. I have read them carefully, and taken them into consideration as part of my decision.
"Recent events have revealed that the Prime Minister repeatedly was informed and knew about allegations of sexual misconduct and previously upheld complaints against a member of the government.
