Outside employers could create a more effective system for workplace complaints against MPs
Bullying and sexual impropriety, comments and advances have no place in the modern workplace, and especially the House of Commons. It goes without saying that I take allegations of this sort very seriously.
We set up the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme, which is independent of the Speaker, to enable anybody in the parliamentary community to report bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct in confidence – something very few other parliaments have established. And if an allegation concerns criminal behaviour, I would always advise people to go straight to the police.
