Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to tackle incidences of intimidation or harassment in her Department; and whether her Department has a code of conduct on these issues.

All officials are required to abide by the civil service code, the Home Office values and departmental bullying, harassment, discrimination and victimisation policy.
