DOMINIC Raab has revealed that two formal complaints have been made about his behaviour during previous stints as a cabinet minister.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has agreed with a request by the justice secretary and deputy PM for an independent inquiry into the complaints.
Mr Raab has faced a series of newspaper allegations he bullied officials in previous roles, which he has denied. He added he would “co-operate fully” with any inquiry into his conduct.
In a letter to Mr Sunak, Mr Raab said the complaints related to his time as justice secretary and foreign secretary under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
He added he had “never tolerated bullying” and had “always sought to reinforce and empower” civil servants.
