UK Treasury accepts it contributed to staff member's death

HM Treasury has accepted a coroner's concerns after personal assistant Chloe Moffat, 26, took her own life in May 2025, a day after managers raised allegations she had shared confidential information, which she denied. The coroner found 'informal fact-finding' meetings had no policy basis. The Treasury says immediate steps were taken, and the Cabinet Office will review workplace conflict across Whitehall.
