Whistleblowing Framework

The Earl of Minto (Con)
I absolutely agree that the current whistleblowing framework is not current best practice. This was basically put in place in 1996 and 1998, and that is one of the main purposes for the review being carried out now. The review is due to complete its work in October this year and will report very soon after that. Hopefully, from that, we can get to a situation where we are able to move forward to something that really is world-class.
Lord McColl of Dulwich (Con)
My Lords, does the Minister have any information on the percentage of whistleblowing claims that are false?
The Earl of Minto (Con)
My Lords, I do not, but I will find out and write to my noble friend.
