Disciplinary panel says the MP should be suspended for two days after abusing his position of power and ostracising a member of staff
The Labour MP Liam Byrne should be suspended from the Commons for two days for bullying a staff member, a disciplinary panel has found.
Following an investigation by an independent investigator, Kathryn Stone, the parliamentary commissioner for standards, upheld an allegation of bullying against Mr Byrne by a former member of his constituency staff made under Parliament's Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS).
The Independent Expert Panel which considered the punishment for Mr Byrne said the Birmingham Hodge Hill MP abused his position of power and ostracised the staff member by ceasing personal contact with him for several months and denying him access to his Parliamentary IT account.
The panel said Mr Byrne "sought to present his actions as a reasonable HR strategy", but added: "We disagree. It was bullying."
