    The Children's Minister says she's unsure whether she'll take her claims of feeling bullied further

    The Children's Minister says she's unsure whether she'll take her claims of feeling bullied further


    Karen Chhour last week told reporters debate's moved from policy to personal attack.

    Speaker Gerry Brownlee today told MPs he'll be more vigilant in assessing behaviour.

    He's noted no official complaints have been made to the Commissioner of Parliamentary Standards - since they were appointed two years ago.

    He's encouraging MPs to take them any concerns.

    Chhour says the Speakers only just stated this, so she needs to think about whether it's a process she can do.
