Motion on Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme

Following the debate on the Gemma White QC report into bullying and harassment in Parliament, I opened a debate on a motion regarding the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) on behalf of HM Official Opposition.

Until now, the ICGS has been available to all those who make up the parliamentary community. This motion is necessary to open the ICGS to non-recent cases and to former members of the parliamentary community.

The Opposition supported the motion, which was passed unanimously.
