FOREIGN AFFAIRS – MANDELSON SECURITY VETTING - 21 April 2026

Sir Julian Lewis: Does the Foreign Secretary accept that, as a matter of objective fact, this House was misled about the circumstances of Mandelson’s security vetting, even if that misleading was inadvertent?

[The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (Yvette Cooper): The House was not given the full information. It is important that it should be given the full information, and I have undertaken to write to the Select Committee ensuring that full, as well as accurate, information is provided.]
