Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what estimate he has made of the number of cases of bullying and harassment that have been recorded against managers in his Department in each of the last five years.
Cabinet Office are taking the issue of Bullying and Harassment seriously, and have developed a Bullying, Harassment and Discrimination Action plan to reduce the incidence of these behaviours within the Cabinet Office.
