House of Commons clerk speaks out on bullying
EXCLUSIVE: After a Newsnight investigation into bullying & harassment of House of Commons staff by Mps, Policy Editor Chris Cook talks to one senior clerk on her experience of bullying. Emily Commander made a formal complaint about Labour MP Paul Farrelly back in 2012. He's always denied it, but what happened to her after she complained had a big effect in deterring other clerks from formally reporting bullying and harassment. In her first ever interview, she tells Newsnight of her “profound disillusionment,” as she found the complaints system in place failed to help her.
