Transport secretary Louise Haigh admitted to making a false report to police about a stolen work phone, claiming it was a genuine mistake.
Haigh claimed that after being mugged in 2013, she reported her work phone missing but later found it had not actually been stolen.
Despite the guilty plea for the mistaken report, the magistrates accepted her explanation and gave her a discharge, classifying the offense as spent.
The Conservative Party chair raised concerns about Haigh's integrity, specifically regarding her management of significant taxpayer funds.
