“I deeply apologise to the House for my actions that led to this investigation. I regret that the House received a false apology for my conduct in talking to radio and journalists.
“I regret that my conduct has had an additional harmful effect on complainants. It may also have decreased public confidence in this process.
“I will send a letter of apology to the parliamentary commissary for standards, chairperson of the Independent Expert Panel and original complainants.
Mr Kawczynski said he was ‘conscious that my conduct may have merited’ a longer suspension and he appreciated ‘the committee’s consideration of the difficulties that I was experiencing in my personal life at the time and the mental health issues I explained to them’.
He stated, “I admit that I spoke out like I did to media and it had a detrimental impact on the House’s conduct by undermining its integrity in the complaints process. I regret this deeply.”
“I commit to learning from my mistakes, and working on my personal development in order to communicate with others better in each interaction I have.”
Mr Kawczynski made his original apology in June last year after he was found to have breached rules on bullying and harassment following a complaint by Commons staff.
