Sunak right to delay decision on Raab bullying report, senior minister says

Transport secretary defends PM after he is criticised by senior Conservatives for dithering'

Rishi Sunak is right to delay the decision on the fate of Dominic Raab, a senior minister has said, as the prime minister pores over a lengthy report into allegations that his deputy bullied staff.

Mark Harper, the transport secretary, said on Friday morning Sunak was doing the right thing by waiting to make his mind up over whether Raab should resign over the allegations, a day after he received the report from Adam Tolley KC.
