British Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab said on Wednesday he had requested an independent investigation into two formal complaints about his behaviour, the latest case of alleged bullying to put pressure on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Raab said in a letter to Sunak that he had been notified of two separate complaints, one from when he was foreign minister and one from his tenure as justice minister.
"I am confident I behaved professionally throughout but, of course, I will engage thoroughly and look forward to transparently addressing any claims," he said. In response to Raab's letter, Sunak said he knew his deputy would be "keen to address the complaints", adding that it was "right that these matters are investigated fully".
Asked if he had ever had requested a non-disclosure agreement related to his behaviour, Raab said no, but there was an employment dispute before he entered parliament and this included a confidentiality clause, which he said was standard at the time.
