Legal protections for individuals making protected disclosures under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998

Tabled by John McDonnell (Labour) 12 signatures

The motion

That this House calls upon the Secretary of State for Justice to undertake an urgent assessment of the adequacy of legal protections for individuals making protected disclosures under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, in light of the information provided to hon. Members by whistleblowers alleging that a contractor has been instructed by a senior employee of APCO Worldwide to destroy material relating to work undertaken for Labour Together, notwithstanding that the material was subject to a legal hold and subsequently made a protected disclosure to the Serious Fraud Office concerning that work, and was thereafter subject to proceedings at the London Court of International Arbitration brought by APCO Worldwide through its solicitors Withers LLP.
