  • Jo White called for disclosure and barring service (DBS) checks before members of the Commons and Lords take their seats.

The article discusses a report by the House of Commons Commission which highlights the ongoing issue of predatory behavior within the UK Parliament, comparing it to the dangers posed by Jimmy Savile having access to Broadmoor Hospital. The report, released on a Tuesday, emphasizes that despite efforts to address such behaviors, the environment in Parliament still allows for sexual misconduct, bullying, and harassment. It points out that the power dynamics and the culture of silence enable perpetrators to continue their actions unchecked. The Commission recommends a series of reforms to improve safety, including better support for victims, more robust HR practices, and a cultural shift to prevent such behaviors. The comparison to Savile underscores the severity of the issue, suggesting that without significant changes, Parliament remains a potentially unsafe place for many of its staff and members.
