Multiple newspapers have reported on allegations that UK Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab has engaged in "bullying" behaviour towards staff members.
While officials have complained of Mr Raab's actions, he has dismissed the accusations and has pledged to resign if found to have acted improperly.
An inquiry by lawyer Adam Tolley KC is reportedly drawing to a close, with Mr Tolley said to be establishing "the facts" about Mr Raab's behaviour.
