Local Government: Bullying

(asked on 14th March 2019) - View Source

Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the adequacy of provisions in place to deal with allegations of bullying by members of local authorities.


This question was answered on 21st March 2019

It is crucial that local authority members and mayors inspire confidence and have the trust of the electorate, and that is why I welcome the recent work of the Committee on Standards in Public Life on Local Government Ethical Standards. This concluded that there is a need for some strengthening of the standards and conduct system in local government and for greater safeguards in the delivery of the system. The Government will be responding in due course.
