Former Cabinet minister Dominic Raab 'to stand down' as MP at the next general election.
But in a letter seen by The Telegraph, he said he has "become increasingly concerned" about "the pressure the job has placed on my young family", and would stand down.
Mr Raab becomes the latest Tory MP to announce they will not be standing the next time country heads to the ballot box, after other ex-cabinet ministers including Sajid Javid, Matt Hancock, George Eustice and Nadine Dorries also announced they would not be contesting their seats.Last month, a bullying investigation into Mr Raab's behaviour found that he acted in an "intimidating" fashion and had been "persistently aggressive" towards officials.
The report looked into eight formal complaints against Mr Raab relating to his time as justice secretary, foreign secretary and Brexit secretary, with two upheld.Mr Raab denied the allegations, insisting that he has "behaved professionally at all times" and said he would resign from his posts as justice secretary and deputy prime minister should an allegation of bullying be upheld.
