Minutes:
The Committee noted that legislation already exists when bullying
or harassment constitute a criminal offence, and that the Welsh Government does
not intend to legislate further on this issue. Members therefore agreed to
thank the petitioner for raising the issue and close the petition.
In closing the petition, members wished to make the statement that bullying and harassment is not acceptable in Wales.
