Article summary

The Institute for Government (IfG) has published an article arguing that the resignation of Dominic Raab, the former Justice Secretary, should lead to reform of the complaints process against ministers. The writer, Alex Thomas, has said that the investigation into Raab’s behaviour, prior to his resignation, has revealed ‘deep flaws in how the government deals with poor ministerial behaviour’ with issues being found in how concerns are raised, the process of investigation, and disciplinary decisions.
