The Cabinet member is facing increased pressure to quit after the Guardian reported he made the remarks in front of other civil servants in a meeting while he was defence secretary.

Civil servants reported Sir Gavin's behaviour unofficially to the MoD's head of human resources and took contemporaneous notes of the alleged incidents, the newspaper reported. Sir Gavin told The Telegraph in a statement: "I strongly reject this allegation and have enjoyed good working relationships with the many brilliant officials I have worked with across government. No specific allegations have ever been brought to my attention." A Cabinet Office spokesperson added: "The Cabinet Office has not received notice of any formal complaints about Gavin Williamson's behaviour from his time at the Ministry of Defence or any other department." Sir Gavin is already facing an investigation into alleged 'bullying and intimidation' towards former chief whip Wendy Morton over a series of expletive messages he sent expressing his anger at not having been invited the late Queen's funeral. Today Mel Stride, the Work and Pensions Secretary, said the new allegation, if true, is "utterly unacceptable" and that 'we are all sackable at some point'. Asked on Sky News if Sir Gavin will still be in government by Christmas, he said he 'suspects the answer is yes' because the investigation is likely to take a while. Mr Stride also declined to say whether Sir Gavin is a 'good bloke' during an interview on Times Radio. He said: "I think Gavin is somebody who has particular talents and a particular understanding of the parliamentary party. "I can see why… he has a seat at the Cabinet table."
