Lords ChamberMy Lords, I have nothing further to add to the replies I gave earlier about the ongoing process.
What sort of behaviour is sufficiently aggressive to be described by the Government as bullying?
My Lords, the Government take bullying very seriously. In 2018, the Civil Service undertook a review of the arrangements for tackling harassment and misconduct within the service. The Ministerial Code is clear that
“harassing, bullying or other inappropriate or discriminating behaviour is not consistent with the Ministerial Code and will not be tolerated.”
That is the position of the Government.
