Jacqui Smith

Can somebody explain to me why Jacqui Smith is yet to resign – or be forced to resign – from her Cabinet position as Home Secretary?
The Ministerial Code states that:
Ministers of the Crown are expected to behave in a way that upholds the highest standards of propriety.
Yet, following the revelation that her husband bought pornographic films (albeit something not a serious or particularly controversial offence), the very fact that the news came just weeks after the scandal over her second home, she retains a position within the Cabinet.
Upholding the highest standards of propriety? I think not.
