The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy was created in July 2016. Since our creation we have not agreed any non-disclosure or other confidentiality agreements relating to employment, bullying, misconduct and harassment cases.

As we have not agreed any such agreements, there have been no associated legal costs or financial settlements.
