Pressure grows on Duke of York as Vince Cable says 'conversations will take place' about his future role
The Duke of York is facing new pressure to resign over his association with a convicted paedophile, after ministers admitted that there would be "conversations" about his future role.
The Daily Telegraph disclosed this morning that the Government had decided to downgrade his position as Britain�s trade ambassador.

Epstein, who played host to the Duke at his Florida home, a mansion where under age girls were sexually abused, gave �15,000 to the Duchess�s former personal assistant after the Duke allegedly approached him for help last December.

David Cameron faced calls in Parliament last week to relieve the Duke of his role as trade ambassador following questions about his �close� friendship with Saif Gaddafi, the son of the Libyan leader, and with Tarek Kaituni, a convicted Libyan arms dealer.
