Report into bullying claims against Deputy PM Dominic Raab has now been given to Rishi Sunak, who is considering findings
After he has seen the report, it will be for Mr Sunak to decide whether Mr Raab has broken ministerial rules and must be sacked or resign.
A number of senior government figures have told the BBC they believe he will not be able to stay on as a minister.Asked whether Mr Sunak had full confidence in Mr Raab, his spokesman said he did but was "carefully considering the findings of the report before coming to a judgement". The complaints against Mr Raab, involving at least 24 people, related to his previous periods as justice secretary and foreign secretary under Boris Johnson and his time as Brexit secretary under Theresa May.
The MP for Esher and Walton was sacked as justice secretary and deputy prime minister when Mr Johnson was succeeded by Liz Truss.The prime minister has been under pressure to explain what he knew about the allegations before reappointing Mr Raab to the cabinet. He has repeatedly declined to say whether he had informal warnings about Mr Raab's behaviour before bringing him back into government.
