Vince Cable has backed Theresa May's calls for new grievance procedures in Parliament following allegations of sexual harassment of staff by MPs.
The Prime Minister set out proposed reforms in a letter to Commons Speaker John Bercow, copying in the other party leaders.
Liberal Democrat Leader Vince Cable said:
The Prime Minister is right to be calling for these changes.
Parliament clearly needs improved procedures to respond to allegations of harassment.
The Liberal Democrats have introduced similar changes since a review in 2013, which has proved a positive step.
