Mr David Ruffley (Assistant Chief Whip, Whips; Bury St Edmunds, Conservative)
I thank the Minister for his response. His point about mitigation relates to sentencing not to liability. If the offence has been committed the employee, even if he or she has been bullied into it, gets the criminal record. The intimidation or bullying is beside the point.
