British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will delay until at least Friday the publication of a report into claims that his deputy bullied staff, two government officials said, despite having had hours to review the findings and reach a conclusion.
Sunak spent much of Thursday considering the findings of the independent investigation into claims against Dominic Raab, his most senior minister and ally.
The review was requested by Raab in November following formal complaints about his behaviour by government officials, and Sunak appointed lawyer Adam Tolley to lead an independent investigation.A spokesman for Sunak said the prime minister had received the report and was "considering the findings". One government official later said the report would not be published on Thursday as the prime wanted to go through the report thoroughly.
Sunak, after becoming prime minister, promised to create a government of "integrity, professionalism, and accountability" following the scandal-ridden tenure of Boris Johnson and the chaotic economic policies that brought down Liz Truss in less than two months. The investigation was asked to establish the facts, but not to form a conclusion about whether Raab was guilty of bullying.
