Tory MP Ellwood quits Commons post after Afghanistan row
By Nick Eardley, political correspondentBBC News
Tory MP Tobias Ellwood has quit as chair of a Commons committee, following criticism over his comments on Afghanistan.
The former Defence Minister was criticised In July for saying the country had been " transformed" under The Taliban 's rule.
He was facing a potential no-confidence vote from fellow Tory MPs on the defence select committee.
But sources have told The Bbc he has now stood down from The Role .
A source familiar with The Situation said he had resigned before he was " pushed".
Mr Ellwood initially defended his comments, saying stability in the country was on a " different level" than during times of conflict.
But he later apologised, saying he had " got it wrong" with his remarks, which he had posted on Social Media during A Trip to Helmand province.
