- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what recent assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of protections for whistleblowers; and if she will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The Government recognises how valuable it is that whistleblowers are prepared to shine a light on wrongdoing, and believes that they should be able to do so without fear of recriminations.
Government has committed to review the UK whistleblowing framework and will carry this out once sufficient time has passed for there to be the necessary evidence available to assess the impact of recent reforms.
