		</div><p>A formal bullying complaint has reportedly been filed against former Commons speaker John Bercow by a peer who served as his most senior official.</p>
<p>Robert Rogers, who was Clerk of the House, has handed a dossier of allegations to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, according to The Times.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Mr Bercow dismissed the claims as having come at a “curious” time, with suggestions that he may be in line for a peerage.</p>
<p>The document is said to accuse Mr Bercow of having bullied and humiliated staff, including using inappropriate language.</p>
<p>Mr Bercow has consistently denied allegations of bullying from former members of staff in the past.</p>
<p>In a statement today, he said: “During the five years that we worked together, Lord Lisvane [Robert Rogers] had ample opportunity to raise any accusations of bullying with me.</p>
<p>“At no stage did he do so, even though he became Clerk of the House – the most senior official.</p>
<blockquote><p>The timing of this intervention is curious</p></blockquote>
<p>Outgoing Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has reportedly been lining up Mr Bercow, who was a Tory MP before becoming speaker, for a peerage.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>But there have been suggestions that Downing Street could hamper the move, with the British Prime Minister’s official spokesman highlighting a “long-standing convention” that opposition leaders nominate individuals form their own parties.</p>
<p>Mr Bercow left the speaker’s chair on October 31 and has been replaced by Lindsay Hoyle.</p>
