U.K. Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab resigned on 21 April, following an inquiry into bullying allegations.
The 48-page report by lawyer Adam Tolley investigated more than a dozen complaints about Raab’s behavior, with Tolley concluding that Raab did act in an intimidating way with colleagues in two of the three sets of complaints against him.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak accepted Raab’s resignation with sadness, but also acknowledged shortcomings in the way initial reports of concerns about Raab were handled.
Oliver Dowden will become the new deputy prime minister with Alex Chalk the new justice secretary.
