Dowden questioned over the government’s response to Raab bullying allegations

In cabinet office questions today, Labour MP Andrew Gwynne questioned the government over the mounting bullying allegations made against the deputy prime minister Dominic Raab.

Mr Gwynne asked: “Does the Minister accept that in any other workplace the Deputy Prime Minister would have been suspended pending investigation?”.

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Oliver Dowden responded: “The government takes any complaints of bullying and harassment very seriously. That is precisely why the Prime Minister appointed Adam Tolley to conduct this investigation”.
