Anneliese Dodds comments on reports that a complaint against Gavin Williamson has been referred to an independent parliamentary scheme

Anneliese Dodds MP, Chair of the Labour Party, commenting on reports that the former chief whip has referred a complaint against Gavin Williamson to Parliament's Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme, said:

"The lack of faith in the Conservative Party complaints process shows how rotten the culture at the heart of this party goes - and the buck stops with Rishi Sunak.

"He was warned about Gavin Williamson’s behaviour and appointed him anyway. He has done grubby deal after grubby deal to become Prime Minister and now must take responsibility and stop putting party management before national interest."
