An investigation into claims about Dominic Raab's conduct has been expanded to include a third formal complaint, Downing Street said.
The Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary has repeatedly defended himself against allegations of bullying and using his personal email for government business as Rishi Sunak continued to back him.
Raab said he had always adhered to the ministerial code and "behaved professionally" as fresh bullying claims emerged.
Confirming the scope had been expanded a No 10 spokeswoman said: "I can confirm that the Prime Minister has now asked the investigator to add a further formal complaint relating to conduct at the Department for Exiting the European Union and to establish the facts in line with the existing terms of reference."
The third formal complaint was received by the Cabinet Office on November 23, the spokeswoman said. She said the Prime Minister retains confidence in his deputy.
Raab told the BBC: "I've behaved professionally at all times and I'm the one that when the complaint came in a matter of days ago, the first that has come against me since I've been a minister since 2015, called for an independent inquiry and I look forward to dealing with it fully and transparently rather than dealing with anonymous comments in the media.
"I always adhere to the ministerial code, including my use of my iPhone. I've always taken advice on the right means, particularly as foreign secretary and dealing with a whole range of sensitive issues, always been very careful to protect the integrity of any communications I have."
Liberal Democrat chief whip and MP for North East Fife Wendy Chamberlain demanded an investigation after it also emerged Raab had used his personal email account for Government

Apple Original Films’ upcoming holiday film Spirited required the hands and talents of multiple creatives behind the scenes including Ian Eisendrath, who served as the musical comedy’s executive music producer.

Every episode of Steven Knight’s new series “Rogue Heroes” begins with a declarative statement: “Based on a true story, the events depicted which seem most unbelievable … are mostly true.” It’s the sort of pithy postmodern title card that might elicit an eye-roll. Yet it also perfectly encapsulates this rollicking tale of the Special Air Service (SAS) formation during World War II. While occasionally deploying anachronistic ‘80s rock songs to lighten the mood and using title cards that can probably be best described as graffiti-chic, “Rogue Heroes” is both utterly unbelievable and, well, mainly true to the facts.
“The Sex Lives of College Girls,” Mindy Kaling & Justin Noble’s faux-feminist, ultra-privileged campus-set sex romp sitcom, is back for another mind-numbingly unfunny second season on HBOMax. While there is sex and they are on a college campus, most of the humor falls flat, and the characters remain emotionally stagnant in this dismal sophomore slump.
