He gave an apology: "I am genuinely sorry for any unintended stress or offence that any officials felt, as a result of the pace, standards and challenge that I brought to the Ministry of Justice.""In setting the threshold for bullying so low, this inquiry has set a dangerous precedent," Raab said. He also said he raised with Sunak "a number of improprieties that came to light during the course of this inquiry" and called for a separate review.
