Lord Mandelson: Response to Humble Address

Contribution

I thank the hon. Member for his questions; I just wanted to clarify whether he felt that I should refer myself to the independent adviser. I refer the hon. Member to the letter from the independent adviser, which came out on Friday of last week and concluded that there were no grounds for an investigation into the Prime Minister’s conduct, because the process that the Government inherited for these types of appointments had been followed appropriately. The process itself, as the Prime Minister said again this morning, is clearly not sufficient, which is why it needs to be changed for the future.
