Mitchell asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will ask the expert group examining bullying and the resulting stress in the workplace if they would consider including bullying as one of the areas to be considered under the Equality Act; and the public servants which might have recourse.

It is also open to the group to consider and report on the issue under any existing legislation, including the Equality Act.
