Employees in the Department for Work and Pensions are said to have objected to the 'highly inappropriate' workwear of a fellow official.
A minister has told civil servants that they are not allowed to come into work wearing 'fetish clothing', after a war erupted over dress code regulations.
The civil servant, who co-chairs the Civil Service LGBT+ network, has also been criticised for linking women's rights groups to the far-Right and suggesting they are calling for trans genocide It is understood that Baroness Jenkin of Kennington expressed her general concerns about the dress code at the DWP and also in response to the specific issues raised by civil servants about the Whitehall diversity ambassador
DWP staff are expected to dress in a professional and business-like way and any complaints about staff are subject to a review process. It comes following a long-running dispute between the DWP and some civil servants after they wrote to the permanent secretary Peter Schofield in August 2023 warning of the 'chilling effect' of gender ideology and the 'unlawful imposition of these beliefs throughout the department'.
