MPs' staff report being undermined, humiliated and shouted at in public, having doors slammed in the office and bullied for asking for a pay rise in anonymised evidence given to an inquiry by the Speaker of the House of Commons.

Two unions, Unite and the GMB, said the current system for supporting those who work for MPs was not adequate in submissions to the Speaker's conference on employment of members' staff.
