Former Co-op bank boss pleads guilty to drugs offences
Former Co-operative Bank chairman Paul Flowers has pleaded guilty to drugs possession at Leeds Magistrates' Court
Methodist Church to discipline Paul Flowers
The Methodist Church says it will discipline Paul Flowers in a private process.
The Methodist minister and former Co-op Bank boss this week pleaded guilty to possession of drugs and was fined £400 by Leeds Magistrates' Court.
A Methodist spokesperson said: “Now that Paul Flowers has admitted guilt and been sentenced, our disciplinary process can move ahead. It is a confidential process so that all involved can speak freely, and it is independent of the Church leadership.
"We cannot give a deadline by which this work will be completed, but we would expect it to be before the summer.”
