The equalities watchdog could launch its own investigation into Tory Islamophobia in the wake of bombshell claims a minister was sacked because of her "Muslimness".
Boris Johnson on Monday ordered a Cabinet Office probe into allegations by Nusrat Ghani, who says Government whips told her she was fired from her role as transport minister in a 2020 reshuffle as her Muslim faith made colleagues "uncomfortable".
Now, the Equality and Human Rights Commission has said it will "consider any findings" from Whitehall investigators and if "not satisfied", the body "does not rule out" legal enforcement.
