Speaking to the BBC, Ms Maltby said: "What impressed me most about Sue Gray was how seriously she took her duty of care to complainants... she was determined to listen to junior people, and not let senior staff off the hook."I found her profoundly moral in a way that isn't normally seen in Westminster."
