Govt 'to look' at ban on NDAs silencing women

'We should look at a ban on NDAs', says equalities minister Bridget Phillipson. It's after a comedian told Cathy Newman that she tried to help a woman who she says David Walliams silenced with an NDA. In 2025, the government passed a law to stop NDAs being used to cover up misconduct at work. Sky News has contacted representatives of David Walliams regarding Lucy Beaumont's allegations that a TV worker was asked to take young women to Walliams' dressing room and that one of the women subsequently signed a non-disclosure agreement.
