Pro-Palestinian encampment at Dalhousie University - May 13, 2024 | SaltWire #news #halifax #protestLONDON - Britain's Finance Ministry on Tuesday rejected a call to ban non-disclosure agreements , which can be used to silence victims of sexual harassment and abuse, arguing that such clauses do not stop staff reporting concerns to authorities.
"When it comes to sexual harassment and discrimination, it is important to recognise that individual circumstances vary," the Finance Ministry added in a response to the Treasury Committee report, published on Tuesday.
