British Culture Minister Tessa Jowell and her husband David Mills, who is mired in allegations of having taken a bribe from Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi, have decided to separate, Mills's lawyer announced yesterday.
The announcement was made in a faxed statement to Britain's Press Association by solicitor David Kirk.
"This whole business has imposed a dreadful strain on my client and his marriage," Kirk said in a statement.
