The ex-Government enforcer said the allegations against him had become a “distraction” for PM Rishi Sunak.
His resignation followed claims he told a senior civil servant to “slit your throat” and to “jump out of the window”.
No 10 is probing the claim while the Tory Party and the antibullying watchdog within Parliament investigate accusations by ex-chief whip Wendy Morton that Sir Gavin sent her expletive-filled complaints over failing to obtain a ticket for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
