New Delhi, 28 November 2022

As per news report of BBC, Adm Sir Ben Key told BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House the Navy had changed how it investigates complaints. The First Sea Lord insisted independent investigations would be slower and "lead to less good outcomes". The Navy has launched an inquiry following allegations made last month of bullying and sexual harassment against women in the Submarine Service. Earlier this month, a woman - known as 'Catherine' - told Woman's Hour she had been raped and fallen pregnant while serving at sea. She told the programme she did not report the rape at the time because she was worried about being labelled a troublemaker: "There is no complaints system that is completely separate to the people that are serving."
