Full text of the letter sent by current and former House of Commons staff calling on the House of Commons Commission to allow historic allegations of bullying to be investigated and remove MP involvement in the process of determining complaints, as recommended by Dame Laura Cox 
The significance of this letter should not be underestimated- it’s deeply counter-cultural for House staff to speak out in this way - it demonstrates the depth of their frustration with MPs response to the Cox report
It’s unprecedented for staff to speak out in this way - they are used to working invisibly to make the Commons function and help MPs do their jobs. But they see this as a matter of HR not politics and are writing to the Commission to urge them to implement the report.
The Commission meets on Wednesday to consider its response to Cox and there is concern its members may resist or delay implementing the recommendations of the Cox report for personal or political reasons, instead of seizing the opportunity for reform.
